What if you don't have a carom table to play on...

There are plenty of places in this big country with no carom tables within any reasonable driving distance. So how do we expect to keep the spark alive if new potential players can't even try out what they read about and watch?

Well... maybe it's time for technology to take over... check out this article on 3-Cushion Billiards:

Can Virtual Reality Help Grow the Popularity of 3-Cushion Billiards?

So what do you think? Pipe dream... or a dream come true?

I don't know about the simulator mentioned in the article, but the carom game in Virtual Pool (IV) is accurate enough to simulate all the shots in the artistic carom program including the jump shots. There are on-line competitions at the pool version of Virtual Pool but they don't seem to be very active, or at least the comment area is not active.
