PoolTable

Revision as of 02:04, 25 October 2007

Everybody should be familair with Pool Tables. (or Billiard Tables).

Big rectangle. Green felt. Holes in the corners and in the middle of the long edges. A bunch of small solid balls. A study of dynamic physics.

In more recent years, I've seen a trend in some clubs and high-end tables to have alternately coloured felt. Royal blue, white/cream, grey...

Recently I saw a table with a simple blue/white pattern (half each), and I got to thinking...

Designs for pooltables

• Geometric symbols, designs and equations
• Optical illusions (especially the ones that make parallel lines look curved or appear to be non-parallel)
• Semi-transparent with lights underneath. (Disco floor pooltable!)
