I have a lot of programming/electrical engineering/technical and pool experience and want to give back to the community. If time or money were no option, but human resources were restricted to just one human, what could be crafted to improve the billiard community. Ideas I have heard so far, and in no particular order: 1) A wearable (clip on) device that conveys shot clock violations. - Accelerometer/BLE/microphone. 2) A free/freemium unified platform (website/app) for tournament management. -Self mobile check-in & reporting; state of the art. 3) A device to determine who wins the lag. -laser proximity non-doppler. 4) Facial recognition & game recognition for automated player scoring - Compareface et. al. 5) Improved Ranking & Handicapping system - Avoid known micro cavitation & include transparent metrics. 6) Augmented reality aiming glasses. -- Might be a bit too complicated for 1 man. 7) Balls with sensors (training) devices. -3 axis Accelerometer/BLE/Resin What else? I'll pick my favorite one, make it and report back. I like 1 and 2 a lot. 3 is too easy. Would any of these not succeed, if not why - adoption, pragmaticism, implementation, something else? Nothing is too complicated.
