High tech glasses/cheating at pool?

Last night is the second week in a row that I’ve played a lower handicap, they wore sunglasses for their match (were not wearing them before or after) and were making ridiculous shots. The pool room is pretty dark, tables have lights.
Were they using some kind of ai glasses that help their shooting? Maybe, maybe not. Either way it brings up the issue. Have any governing bodies of pool banned them yet? Any leagues like APA or BCA?
(I won both matches, shot making doesn’t help with strategizing, safeties etc)

Where are these so-called glasses that aim with AI etc?

AR/Smart Glasses for Training


For practice (not tournament play, as they could be seen as aiming aids), AR glasses like Snap Spectacles have experimental apps (e.g., Pool Assist or Pool Aim Assistant) that overlay ghost balls, aiming lines, angles, or shot calculations in real-time using cameras and AR. These are more futuristic training tools than everyday gear and may not be practical or allowed in leagues/competitions.

If I really wanted to win I would encourage my opponent to use glasses of this sort.
 
I have doubts that any glasses currently exist that would improve your ability to pocket balls.
However, I do foresee the day will arrive when glasses can display information that helps a
player with metrics and even a aim point display accompanied by helpful stroke information.

DigiBall is a indication of better things to come and maybe there’ll be a link of DigiBall to AI
intelligent glasses that display shot probability or maybe the normal cue ball deflection path.
Science is making leaps and bounds that seemed unimaginable even only a decade ago.
 
actually soon they will have glasses or some easy way to be sighted along the path and exactly where to hit the object ball. all you will have to do is stroke straight towards the spot or point.

WTF???? Really hoped no one on here was so gullible. There are no glasses to make you play better. More AI bullshit.

C'mon now, I suppose there's no Smart Pills either. How can you be sure unless you try them. 😉 Just because they taste like rabbit sh*t doesn't mean they don't make you smarter. 🤷‍♂️ 😉
 
The real issue with meta glasses and things of the like(including ear buds) is how easy it would be for someone to get advice on virtually every shot from a friend who has more experience. I've seen it happen already and it's only going to happen more and more often.
