WAILEA, Hawaii — Nobody's ever going to confuse me with Willie Mosconi or Minnesota Fats, but with the help of Snap's 5th generation Spectacles, I nearly sank a shot on a pool table that would have been the envy of any poolroom hustler.
The Spectacles were running an augmented reality program that took note of the locations of both the cue ball and the target, then calculated where exactly I needed to aim to sink my shot. Armed with the data, I let fire and watched as the ball ricocheted off the far bumper and rolled back across the length of the table toward the right corner pocket. True, the ball only rattled around the edge of the pocket without going in, but that's a lot closer than I would have come without AR's intervention.
