Deep Green & Augmented Reality Pool

[nickjensennz]

I see lines like that when I play pool anyway, someones just made a machine that does it for stupid people :P

[eriklovessof2]

so cool

[vetal5554]

how name this song??? pleas ansver

[MrToastOmnomnom]

amazing o:

[kennith702]

I can do that with my brain.

pretty cool though

[donutintheskyowns]

whats the song name

[PlayingGilly]

This is not AR, it's the trajectory of the ball projected onto the table, AR typically uses a camera to overlay a moving image over something physical like what the 3ds does but very nice all the same

[Pvsmuntje]

Awesome. :D

[GTAIVVIDS]

aim bot... lol

[AugmentedReality777]

---Nice , I knew long time ago  when i first started playing Pool ---- about this---- If you want to be a Best Pool shooter you Have to have a Perfect Ballanced Body is the Same thing with Sharp Shooters anything you imaging

[GeneralChurch]

it needs a wider variation to compensate for the natural motion of the human hand. it takes it way too sensitive and thats why its bouncing around. it should be an easy fix or add a larger icon to the cue and that should compensate for it as well.

[RiotRJ]

This...this changes EVERYTHING!

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

how is this Augmented Reality

[Nulono]

What's AR about it?

[californiagil]

How does it chalk up? But this is pretty cool!

[chepech]

In contrast to Deep Blue, this can actualy make some good bet money.

[eldee50]

Really spectacular on a toy pool table like the septics use that have pockets so big you can stick your hand in, but what's it like on a real snooker table? i({^_^)

[MrMattHerndon]

Damn I love computers..

[JLUFantasy]

aww i hate this song D:

[dragonsquirt]

now that's just cheating.... xD

[papabearking]

And how much does this cost?

[HANGER187]

I just shat me self.

[Crosshair0Production]

Just put the augmented reality program in sunglasses and anyone's a poolshark!

[SpeakerMouthMusic]

PURE PWNAGE! Well Done!

[creativevission0com]

For the augmented reality (Cool name BTW), you should try to make it so people who have some kind of special glasses could see the projection. That would be cool

[alienboyguitar]

Aimbot!!!

[Pyronaut]

It's like bumpers in bowling but for pool! I WANT

[Benderr1982]

That's cheating, I get 10 free shots without the hack :P

[iisahater]

what isn't hacked these days?

[ziklen]

I really curious to know more about 'Deep Green', and in particular if the project included an AI for playing a 'perfect' game of pool (depending on the game). Can Deep Green set up shots in a game of pool? Track/distinguish which balls belong to itself and map out several shots in advance? I'm sure there's probably even more one might be able to do with this (colored lines in ARPool for multi-ball prediction etc)

[ReflexEight]

This is so handy! I can't wait to use this when everyone goes blind and can't see i'm cheating and I can win the pool championship.

[natedejuggla]

do you have to tell it to shoot each shot, or will it play a whole game of nine ball by itself?

[rubnayr]

That is fucken awsome. Perhaps you could use how far the stick is pulled back or something to give the machine an idea of how hard you will hit it (although I suppose it should not matter) Keep going with this, put in spin and everyhing calculations, I would definately by this for a pool table as a trainer if you commercializd it.

[ThatGoalWasPro]

Trololol. Pool aimbot.

[kakureru]

almost like Quantum Leap :P

[Bigminimus1]

Aimhack

[majacow]

Hax for life

[ChrisG4620]

Was the ball racking pre-programmed in?, Or Does the robot look for objects within the pool table area? In which case, are robots colour blind, If you had a camera, would it know the difference between red/yellow balls. It could be used to set up a game of English Pool, and everything could be position properly i the triangle too

[rhynobots]

@ChrisG4620 I believe, by using basic image processing algorithms and high precision stepper/servo motors, one can achieve everything ... right from identifying the ball by its color to stacking them. To answer your question, the ball racking doesn't need to be pre-programmed as the camera+robot can identify the arrangement in real time and stack other balls in order to create the triangle. I'd like to know how the augmented reality part was achieved.. looks awesome :)

[adrianosortudoyt]

How much would that cost me?

[PowerTheo4]

Very good!!!!

[genesisproject]

2 questions - can it put spin on a ball, and is it any good at it?

[Storm1053]

at 2:40 where do you get those things and how much do they cost?

[canadianman333]

where can i buy one of these, i would love to see where im about to hit

[stanlelR]

WOW

[batterycock]

robots....take the fun out of everything.

[xXxM0nteNegr0xXx]

How do I attain such a system?

[elliments]

pool for beginners

[elliments]

moving the balls is cheating D:

[galen222]

This reminds me of an old episode of Quantum Leap where Sam uses holographic aids supplied by Ziggy to win a pool championship.

[parkourman1153]

when is this able to buy in stores?

[Kusanagi64]

Put a colored dots - pattern on the ball with a tiny cam in the tip of the cue to see which of those dots you are going to hit, in combination with this system and you can calculate the rest of the factors! :) Amazing!

[redmastif01]

fucking awesome

[easyab]

The robot is cute. Have you figured out how to make money from the Vpool adaptation to the live feedback model? 2:34 and 2:52?

[louiedeeee]

they should put this thing up against efren reyes. my moneys on the magician

[tomnsteve]

Terrifying

[WillP999]

Not really AR, but still cool.

[MrLuc420]

this is very cool.

and for everyone thats calling this a waste of money, usually when machines like these are built they are later used for much different operations.

for example they built a computer which plays jeopardy. sounds useless as fuck right? but they expect to see computers like those in doctors offices so that the computer can diagnose the patient with a disease which the doctor has never even heard of. we may see them in our houses or phones even someday in the future.

[srijeetm]

Special Thanks: Vivek Panwar lol

It's funny because he's actually working on ARPool now, haha!

[IdentNone]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Yodavid1]

i would be sooooooo proud of studying 10 years only to then build a pool playing machine.

[TheDanzinger]

@Yodavid1 They can sell this shit to big Entertaining Centers.. What do you think they would earn? 4, 7 or 10 Million Dollars?

[Shiboneko]

CHEATER xDDDD

But great method to cheat.

[Mrthiennnn]

what a waste of money =/

[Mosfet510]

That is very impressive! i like the precision and the angular calculations. It even projects a laser line on the table to assist a human player make the shot, very nice!

[jaywv1981]

This is like that episode of Quantum Leap lol.

[yappertrap]

why do people always feel they need to add music to everything.

[alexrascon1]

Aimbot hack...

[Kbonefan]

0:56 - Foul, 2 shots to me, thank you.

[bigslickak90]

dear santa

[maccooper13]

lets se if u ant beat it XD

[nNorthWestern]

amazing:) i wonder if we will see a master pool player lose to machine in our lifetime, like the chess computers vs kasparov

[fromstart2finish]

it sounds like seth green is singing :/

[johny260]

dont place any bets if he brings his robot

[darksinthe]

pretty sweet ;P next you have to figure out how to program it so it factors in spin, throw, curve, and deflection :D

[sjordan84]

@darksinthe already done!

[sethkazzim]

@sjordan84

I could tell.

Now all I need is for this to be displayed on to my glasses and then into my retina.

[kenshinbattousai374]

@sjordan84 BUT...can it massey and jump?



[1986RCL]

@sjordan84 whats the name of the link to show the different factors in spin, throw, curve, and deflection? I liked this video because it gives you short preview of the angles while shooting pool.

[tshepp89]

Unreal!

[CaptainChaos]

Took me a while to get that this was being projected on the table, not overlayed on the camera image. I'm not sure if I would call that AR though...

[WiseFM]

@CaptainChaos How is it NOT "augmented" reality? Do you normally see laser sight lines, angles and trajectories on the pool table at your local pub? I do, but only in my head.

[jeymz420]

This is probably one of my favorite implementations of AR. Very clean and super awesome!

[Dubfire73]

All good to be able to teach a beginner how the mechanics of the game work, however, no machine can teach you match play experience, ball selection and deeper than that cluster/trouble balls not to mention the mental side of the game....love technology don't get me wrong though pool/billiard sports is a game learned over many years of hard work and practice.

[loneforce]

Excelent! A bit unfair to play against though :-) needs fuzy logic to 'miss' ocasionally and a voice to swear :-)

[owlg5]

@loneforce I don't really think that's the point.. It's not a game, it's a tool. You don't purposefully put irregularities in a ruler to make it more challenging to use.

[uhmpr0]

amazing

[stupidgenius107]

HATE THIS SONG!!

Loved the video.

[pevinkinel]

a good alternative to that triangular plastic thingy which is sooo 20th century

[AppleTreeRobin]

Just plain cool.

[penguinpoop4]

Can anyone tell me how this is possibly worth the thousands of dollars they spent on this?

[Slip819]

@penguinpoop4 I take it your not that imaginative.

[twh115]

@penguinpoop4 It was to teach them several things: project management, problem solving, optics and physics simulations, applications of optics and physical modelling in real world scenarios. What if the table was a map, and the balls were jet planes? The simulations of vectors and prediction of physical forces apply.

[pakteng]

it'll only take me 9 seconds to rack the balls..

[ixataca]

kasparov vs deep blue

efren bata reyes vs deep green

[antcox2006]

if i had a hat on at this moment, i would be taking it off for you

impressive and further evidence that technology is moving at such an alarmingly fast pace compared to technological advances made between 1900 and 1999 and advances in the last 10 years alone.

thinking about where we will be in 3-5 years is quite scary

[wh0pper]

thats what i see while playing pool.. man dont need no machine

[qqw52]

that agumented reality shit is sexy lol

[romasp777]

norėčiau su tokiu treniruotis...

[doomas9]

as ir noreciau :D

[ROCKNTV1]

very cool



[PurpleLotus92]

aimbot? xD

[GLT089]

@PurpleLotus92 LOL.

[3shacks1house]

No deriding here. This is just spectacular. This I could use!!

[davepamn]

The ar pool was a very interesting demo.

[adrianfangfat]

its glados

[Gturbos]

what a great idea for beginners. i mean this can be a tool to aid practice and even improve on basics.

[emucap]

powered by linux :D

[AnarchoConsciousness]

choice music. will use this at my next house party

[orangebluemango]

awesome

[meerfaraway]

this is nuts!!

[pmineault]

Pretty awesome!

[azvideoguy]

Put me down for one!

[ZeKaStyle]

En que bar esta esto disponible que quiero ir a probarlo xD

[xotorus]

name of the song??

[94thts]

That robot is just so damn cool. Another reason why I'll be studying robotics engineering :)

[Belios]

@sjordan84 Everyone at the other side of the sea is american =P

[Belios]

You cheaters! :D

Now the amount of beers you drink doesn't influence your playing =P

[Belios]

You cheaters! :D

Now the amount of beers you drink doesn't influence your playing =P

[k53251]

when it's gonna be released? and what do you want to achieve with this project?

[shingwoo101]

YES!

[1Animeculture]

lol stark industries!

[kvkleef79]

Why is there a hard cut to a static projection before the shot when using the ARPool?

[AdobeExcel]

not very accurate on the angles, but impressive still. good job.

[TerakJK]

Looks like PS3 game "Hustle Kings" uses that technology

[omfg191]

Couldn't you also use augmented reality using a projector for this type of application?

[vivanetx]

@omfg191 they are........

[omfg191]

@vivanetx

Oh, it looks like they were using a camera to view the AR on a computer screen or something.

[vivanetx]

@omfg191 They are, and the image that is produced is the one that is projected.

[potatoepoe27]

augmented reality pool is the coolest thing ever

[015206607951234]

einfach hammer xDDD ;)

[viika14]

wow !

I love it ♥

is really, really crazy :D

[Staab0]

i REALLY need one of those.

[IdleGod]

This is pretty amazing. Augmented reality is pretty awesome.

[Nevanator7]

wow you can start putting that in bars and before we know it ,we will live like were in star wars haha

[metabog]

@Nevanator7 It all starts with pool. ;)

[houdinididiit]

Remember when Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov in the 90's? Too bad Minnesotta Fats or Willie Mosconi won't be able to challenge Deep Green when it's ready. Kinda scary too...

[tonyisgrendel]

The Augmented Reality Pool does not take into consideration the force you put on the ball?

[IceMetalPunk]

@tonyisgrendel It doesn't have to. That'll only affect how far the ball travels along its path, not the path itself.

-IMP ;) :)

[vertigoelectric]

I'm only a third of the way through this video and it's already one of the coolest things I have ever seen...

[Celler2]

ME WANT!!!!!!

[LeviBakersfield]

very cool. too bad the robot likes bad music!

[rabidnun]

MOMY I WANT THAT!

[kidsk8t3LK]

man if this things gets out to the public. damn everyone is gonna things were lazy as fuck. making up technology for us to just play pool...lol

[Ambergineny]

i think the purpuse of it is to teach people to play

[TheLongHairedKid]

Maybe so, but the fact that it took over 7 years to create will prove we aren't lazy.

[misharumkittum]

SCIENCE!

[legitbusinessman]

The racking was impressive - no visible gaps between the balls. Not sure what the 11 ball was doing in a 9-ball rack though... did the 2 ball get blown up in some freak lab accident?

[dharmesh1989]

Engineering at it's finest!

[SGwasteland]

What's the song?

[nefariou5]

@SGwasteland Groove Cutter - My Shooter

[videochick770]

WOW! that's great!!

[AcidRain64]

that's awesome. augmented reality is über cool, can't wait til it's more prevalent.

[hotyhunter]

wow that is awesome...i would like to vs one of that robot!!!

[Kaiser2241]

this is awsome

[whatshisname200]

The pool balls were real. The augmented reality factor seen was the projected paths of the balls upon the table.

[Jimi4endrix]

@whatshisname200 thanks man.

[Jimi4endrix]

I posted my comment without watching the whole vid, gotta stop doing that!

[baslisks]

think more about the light circles that were shown.

[jobicek]

Augmented reality means computer enhanced reality - you see the real picture but computer adds some additional informations for you. For example in nature it can be compass, altitude, basic directions, tracking informations, etc. When you tour a museum it can give you info about different exhibits by just looking at them - you don't have to look for the name, it will just appear lets say as a hint floating above the object. The object is real, the hint is not hence augmented reality.

[DGMRuadeil]

the pool balls and the stick is real. A camera detects positions, rotation etc, and a projector projects the lines on the table

[TheLongHairedKid]

The pool balls are just regular pool balls. :-)

[lkmrn325]

@Jimi4endrix

Yeah. If you look really closely, you'll notice that all the pool balls are just made up of smaller pool balls, which are made up of smaller pool balls, ad infinitum. Pretty neat, actually.

[SolomonEdwards]

Sam Fisher has an augmented reality pool table but the projection's all in infra-red; he hasn't been beaten since.

[shane174718]

Deep Green plays at a level above the average human, but would not yet be able to beat an advanced human player. The robot is still in developement and the goal is to eventually make it capable of defeating a skilled opponent, like the chess computer Deep Blue.

[john1966elliott]

That's cheats !!!!! Robot beat human

[marlon4133]

esse ai ne fera!

[ampeyro]

will this be a comercial product anytime?

[jobicek]

I think man can beat it. From looks of it (especially the augmented reality) it doesn't use different striking techniques. Also every table is bit different and there is no mention of it's capability to learn and adapt. I don't play pool - three-cushion carom is my thing. And there are some trivial positions you just can't play without proper technique. And I imagine that pool also has those.

IMHO: Might be good for beginners but real pro would smash that thing.

[ParabolaTool]

I agree. A professional player of any caliber would be able to win.

[poolchamp15]

i bet im better than that stupid machine, after all i am the european pupil champion 9-ball, bronze 8-ball

[Frugaluga]

@poolchamp15 doesnt mean anything you idiot

[nintendungeoner42]

i really doubt that, considering you are not a robot.

[TheLongHairedKid]

Lie fail.

[xwzshik]

теперь понятно как американцы в бильярд играют :)))

[qwertz4you]

дa :DDD

[Irakli1981]

it will never win a good pool player..... at least this kind of robot

[tejonuser]

But can this compensate for rail deformation. When a ball is hit into a rail with allot of force the rail deforms or compresses and that changes the outgoing angle of the ball. Hit a ball into the rail at an angle 3 times, one time soft,one medium and one time hard, you will get three different ball paths coming off the rail.

[fergofns]

Amazing. I want that program. Improve my own game.

[spinsrifleking]

can it play a human without any help from a human or do you program it to take the shots and you put the balls where they need to be to be potted when you program it ? cos if so pritty pointless you can just play lol but if it can play a human show us

[liquos]

From what I understand, it lines up the shots and sinks pool balls on it's own without "human input" so yes, this thing can play you in billiards and kick your ass.

[Wing0fSilver]

Why do tech displays always have bad ass techno music?
