On their homepage www.worldpool.com has a sample that features Cory Deuel wearing the "Headcam", a small camera mounted on a headband that he wears. I was there when they were taping that match and was little skeptical of the value of the camera, but after seeing some of the footage I have to say, this is a GREAT tool for players interested in learning what the pros are doing! You can tell their eye patterns from object ball to cue ball by the movement of the cam, you can see their stroke path, you can see the finer points of their bridehand placement, etc. I am pretty excited about this as a learning tool, I feel that if you have your fundamentals down and are interested in finding out some particular subtlies this is a great tool!
The HeadCam Rocks!

All I can see is text, well sort of, that looks like it belongs in the Matrix movie. Maybe I’m in an alternate reality.
Or, perhaps my non-pool-playing employer filters out “headcam footage” somehow.

I am guessing you are on a mysterious machine sent from the depths of hell to punish humanity for the sins of its predecessors. Some call this machine "Macintosh", but the dreaded curseword is only spoken in hushed tones lest its hordes of worshipping followers fall upon you, chanting claims of "Easier to use" and "Macs are cooler" and other brainwashed incantations. If you have fallen pray to such a succubus-satan-machine, do not be dazzled by its bright colors and cuteness factor. If you wish to view Windows Media like the rest of as-yet-uncursed humanity, drag the file to your desktop and play it from there. Then you will be greeted with heavenly visions of the headcam, rather than the text that is the satan-monger's code to bring about the takeover of the world by the evil Macintosh.
Yep, today is definitely a slow day at work.

Very good!
I think the “satan-monger's code” had more to do with using Netscape than anything else. I did see the headcam footage though, with IE.
