My math friends?? You aren't listening. Of course, the math works. I'm not sure why you keep bringing that up when nobody disputes it.
Of course, scanning technology exists. Any modern automotive design studio uses laser cloud point scanning to digitize physical models. Any modern manufacturing plant uses digital scanning to evaluate parts dimensionally. The even less sophisticated technology to scan a pool table and map the balls is no different than the inspection scanners that are used to insure all the right parts are in a Lego kit before the box is sealed.
Melding all that together into a user friendly product is the hard part. You don't jump from making a choppy quality YouTube video about wrapping your socks around your pool cue to developing a fairly complicated AI phone app.
No, you are not doing anything remotely resembling espionage, get a grip on yourself. You've spent the last 20 years, more than half your life most likely, living or teaching inside the same little box. Come to Michigan, I'll take you through my office and the lab plus a few nearby facilities that will show you what's going on in the real world. Education is good but most people move on and do things in business or industry and never look back. Scanning objects and converting the image into standard coordinate data is bookshelf manufacturing technology. While you are here we can play any pool game you want for whatever you can afford and you can even use your imaginary app., paper cue with tube sock grip, rubber tip, Christmas lights and magnets.
You are however pushing the envelope here when you offer a product for sale here that doesn't yet and may never exist.
