Pool aid for beginners! For those of you that are challenged at controlling a cue stick (I know I sure am), Poolaid is for you!

Pool, or more formally, pocket billiards is the family of cue sports and games played on a pool table having six receptacles called pockets along the rails, into which balls are deposited as the main goal of play. An obsolete term for pool is six-pocket.

Apparently, there are literally hundreds of pool games. Popular versions include eight-ball and nine-ball, though less known are ten-ball, straight pool, one-pocket and bank pool. Who knew?

And Poolaid is going to help you become a billiards master!

This isn’t the first time PMC has seen projection mapping hit the billiards table. Obscura Digital, an interactive media production studio made Cuelight, an absolutely stunning billiards experience:

More recently, the folks behind OpenPool launched a Kickstarter project on a projection mapping development kit for billiards pool tables.

As to getting your hands on a Poolaid, here’s what the authors had to say:
