Hello Billiard

Take a photo of the billiard table, and Hello Billiard reads the ball positions and proposes scoring paths with success rates, computed by an on-device physics simulation. ■ Photo recognition One photo of the table is enough to locate the balls. Photos are processed on your device and never uploaded. ■ 4-ball path simulator Measured deflection angles, spin (english) and multi-cushion paths are computed by a physics engine. It recommends only the shots you can actually make at beginner / intermediate / advanced level, and shows success rate and ball-gathering score from Monte-Carlo simulation. ■ 3-cushion (carom) Five-and-a-half, Plus and Ball system calculators. Path search recognises classic routes such as the long-around and the reverse and recommends them first. ■ Versus mode Two players get different layouts of the same difficulty and see who climbs higher. · Difficulty ladder — 10 levels for 4-ball, 8 for 3-cushion · Handicap match, score race, layout of the day, weak-spot drills · Cumulative record (W-D-L) and best scores ■ And more · Works offline, no ads · Table calibration (cushion / roll) for your own hall · Korean / English
