by snooks on Jan.11, 2009, under Video
Ever heard of a pool table on a boat? Well check this video out. Its a gyroscopically balanced pool table. I have to say that it does look amazing and seems to play quite well. If anyone knows who makes this table we would be interested to do a full review.
Digitally Assisted Billiards

These guys have done an amazing job creating a digitally assisted billiards system. The systems basically is a webcam, projector and some software. This simple ideas are always the genius ones. The system maps and projects the trajectories of the cueball and object balls. This really would be a great learning tool.
Some great footage here. I want one!
Billiard Collisions in Slow Motion

A description of the DVD below from Andreas Efler the creator of this DVD video
While working on my book about three-cushion billiards
an idea to make a DVD slowly developed. With a good
friend, Robert Leitner, this DVD arose and with it,
material never seen.
Using highspeed(Up to 16000 pictures per second)and
infrared cameras, we can now see billiards from a
different angle.
The bonus material contains:
Bubbles of soap blasting, waterdrops falling into its
natural element, lightening matches and much more.
Using a highspeed camera taking thousands of frames per
second, the results were and are amazing.
DVD-Type: DVD 5
Format: Pal 4:3
