This is really cool. While I don’t actually see a practical use for it, I have to say that the idea is really cool. The system uses cameras and math to try to predict how shots will outcome, and the ultimate goal is for it to beat the best human players. Personally, I’m holding off on this until it can match the things in videos like this. Still, the idea that it works like the AI in Midnight Pool on my old cell phone, but uses a real pool table is just too cool.
Oh, and on a side note, after a rather long hiatus, this blog is back, baby!
