FusionCue - The most advanced pool training system is almost here (video demo)

Here's a summary of features:
  • Real-Time Ball Tracking: An overhead webcam and a locally-running AI vision model track every ball on the table live — no special balls, no sensors, no cloud processing.
  • Projected Table Overlay: A projector turns the felt itself into the screen — drills, targets, animations, and guides are drawn directly on the playing surface.
  • Auto-Scored Drills: Projected zones show where to place each ball, then the system detects shots, makes, misses, and scratches and scores every attempt automatically.
  • Drill Library & Editor: Play the built-in drill library or build your own — placement zones, valid balls, target pockets, and goals — no coding required.
  • Community Drill Sharing: Browse drills other players published and import them to your table with one click.
  • Internet Multiplayer: Invite anyone with a FusionCue table to a live match — same drills and games, synced scoring, shot clocks, and a match lobby.
  • Table Link: While your opponent shoots, their table appears on yours — ghost ball positions or a full live video feed projected onto your own felt.
  • Same-Table Multiplayer: Up to 6 players on one table with automatic turn rotation, per-player scoring, and shot clocks.
  • AI Voice Coach (coming): A hands-free voice coach that watches your session, answers questions, calls out patterns, and talks you through drills — speech recognition runs fully on your PC.
  • Target Pool: Pocket the called ball and land the cue ball inside a projected three-ring bullseye for 6/4/2 points.
  • Instant Recall: Freeze any layout and every player runs the exact same table — projected markers show precisely where each ball goes back. Share your table layouts with the community to see how other's approach solving the layouts.
  • Live Streaming: Stream your solo sessions, local multiplayer sessions, and internet multiplayer sessions across YouTube/Facebook/Twitch/Discord with automatic lower thirds (scoring graphics).
Additional Features
  • Instant Replay: Every shot is auto-captured — zoom in and out, slow down footage, and save the clip for social media.
  • Session Recording & Video Library: Record full sessions, keep match replays, and publish drill videos as public, unlisted, or private.
  • Shot Analysis: Per-shot breakdown of cut angle, shot speed, and miss direction.
  • Stats Dashboard: Success rates, streaks, and history per drill, per session, and per multiplayer match.
  • Cue Ball Path Visualization: Ask to see neutral/follow/draw/stun, in combination with right/left english, over any number of rails.
  • Diamond System Overlays (coming): Bank-shot and kicking reference lines projected right on the rails.
  • Guided Calibration: Step-by-step wizard that helps you align the projector & camera with your table.
  • Table Entertainment: Project movies or any video onto the table surface between sessions.
  • Community Feed & Chat: Built-in feed for posting session clips plus Discord-style chat channels.
  • Shaders: For fun, turn on the shader feature and switch between 10 unique shaders that leave an interesting path when your cue ball is in motion.
I've setup a discord for those wanting to get their environments ready.
 
Wow! That video demo is super impressive! I have had the Projection Pro Billiards setup since 2019. While I am happy with it, your execution takes the basic idea to a completely different level. Nice job!

I did notice your TV screen was not showing a 9' table, but perhaps a 7' table. I can tell quite easily by the proportion of the ball diameter to the slate surface. Your real table was not 9' so maybe they match up. I'd strongly suggest to make the table an accurate size and let the user pick it, if you have not already done so. A huge pet peeve of mine over the years with the dozen or so table layout computer drawing tools is they are not accurate in the ball diameter to table size ratio. That makes a difference when doing the layouts, because the balls have width, they are not only a center point.

In the app, it allows you to choose which size table you're running the system on. At the moment, the Rasson virtual table is just a standard 9' table. My table in the video is an 8' table.

Good suggestion though, definitely on the way.
 
Your software looks cool, but you may want to find a hardware provider to partner with.

I think the vast majority of your potential customers have no interest in figuring out the projection/camera hardware and installation. At least two of your competitors provide full systems with all the hardware, mostly mounted on the ceiling in a single unit. Projector, camera, and computer.

Can your system automate/illustrate progressive practice drills?

Yeah this is a good idea. Plus the ability to mount in/on/around different table lighting.

The very few competitors who offer custom hardware + for live tracking and projection that I've found are meant for B2B. One charges $7k to $10k, and the other charges around $3k I believe, and there isn't much info available otherwise on their sites. One seems defunct.

I have about 10 beta testers now, some are already setup and some aren't. The benefit of "bring your own hardware" is people can find used equipment. You can find a suitable used projector for $100-$300, a new MX brio for $199 or cheaper used, a new mini pc for $450 or cheaper used.

With the software, you could have the whole system for around $1kish. Cheaper if you already have a PC.

Having a custom hardware solution would be great, but that would be a bit down the line. For now, this seems like the best approach.

As far progressive drills, not just yet. But that's like a couple days of work, easily doable. For now, I have standard drills, responding, wagon wheel style drill modes, and snooker/hook drills types.

Thanks for the response.
 
Yeah, I didn't see prices, but got the impression your software is in the low few hundred USD range? That's what the ProjectionProBilliards system costs, and a lot of people have bought that (including me).

MOST Pool Players do not have the disposable income like Golfer do, if the system is not very reasonable sale will be few and far between. JMHO.

It will be around $299, but much cheaper during launch.

Internet features (live streaming/broadcasting, internet multi-player, community drills) will have a subscription around $15 a month, since data usage costs me.

The two current full system offers I know of right now are Eddi and the Poolhouse system. I'm guessing the latter will be about $20,000. Eddi is at $3000 for the beta version, which includes light, camera and projector, plus software. It installs with a single mounted frame on the ceiling.

Do you know of other full systems at this time?

Yes, I'm aware of https://iqreality.com/ (little info, but I saw that those systems are $7-$10k) and seem more geared towards casual entertainment/game play.

Eddi is likely the closest direct competitor, but FusionCue is definitely the cheapest of the two. The tradeoff being that you bring your own hardware.
 
Was all the speech recognition in the video legit? If so, can you say anything and it will understand, or only specific phrases?

It's legit, there are 50 or so voice commands. There is also a real time conversational option. I had one trained on Earl Stricklands voice and character, and it was hilarious. Not shipping with the app though, unless I have his permission.
