No shrooms necessary for this here video kiddies. This madly expensive billiards projection/tracking system ($200k) is a pretty innovative way to make pool awesome no matter how bad you suck at it.
As you play the game, you can uncover a hidden picture as the balls pass over the felt. Other fancies include flame trails that follow the balls and rippling water effects. Apparently new software is being written to make the tracking system more useful as well.

We’re all trying to be a bit more green these days, I know I am. The Solar-Power Shower is a relatively affordable device that is the perfect accompaniment to any pool or beach house owner. Instead of delivering blistering cold showers after a dip in the water, its solar base can heat up to 8 liters of water to 140 degree F in just about 2 hours.

A separate ballast tanks holds the H2O and within minutes the pool cum treadmill can be filled with up to 51 inches of water. I can’t imagine running in need deep water, but in case you’ve got a penchant for torture the 4 treadmills can each reach a max speed of 9.3mph. But it don’t stop there.
