Billiards is a game which players try to hit the balls into pocket with cue stick. Some beginner players may feel difficult to play billiards, because not predicting the path of the balls. Therefore we developed a supporting system for them. The system distinguishes among the balls, detects the cue stick and projects the path of the balls on the table by using a camera, projector and image processing. Consequently, the beginners can visually predict the path of each ball. Our system enabled players to see the movement of each ball before they shot the cue ball.
