Want really jaw dropping visual effects for your pool table. Check out OpenPool. Its an open source pool table projection mapping system. Looks like magic! Project images onto a pool table that interact with what is going on at the time. Uses a ??Kinect’ and a projector to achieve the effects. I certainly would love to have this. I would however love to have this work as a pool trainer/ball position predictor. I’m sure its possible to do with this equipment and it would open the market up further for something like this. Imagine hitting into a pack and it displaying possible projections based on how you hold the cue etc.
Still interested? Its open source and its here:
