How Rack Vision works

Your table. Your game. A clearer call.

A clear table view. A calibrated playing surface. A match everyone can follow. Here is how the four steps fit together.

Explore the setup
  1. Start with the table view.

    Connect a compatible camera and check that the whole playing surface is visible. Keep the view stable and check the lighting before you calibrate.

  2. Calibrate your table.

    Use the calibration view to align the app with the playing surface. Review the setup before moving on to your match.

  3. Set up the match.

    Choose the game, add your players and agree on the format and rules. Put the match details in one place before the first break.

  4. Play. Review. Keep score.

    Follow the score and turns, review camera observations and confirm results. Manual controls keep the people at the table in control of the calls.

What we mean by referee

Clarity at the table. People in control.

The vision is a dependable digital referee. The current development build combines match management with camera-assisted, human-confirmed review.

Current development build

Assistance you can review.

The app brings the match together on screen and keeps camera observations separate from confirmed scoring.

  • Game-specific setup, scores, turns and foul logging.
  • Review, correct or dismiss camera observations.
  • Manual controls, saved history and match recovery.
Still in development

The autonomous-referee vision.

More advanced vision and automatic adjudication need further model development, real-table evidence and release testing. They are not being offered as finished capabilities.

  • Reliable ball identity and contact-order evidence.
  • Validated automatic pocket, foul and win decisions.
  • Real-camera accuracy and supported hardware qualification.

The planned table setup

Built around your pool table.

The app is being developed for Windows. A compatible overhead camera supplies the table view; the screen gives everyone a place to follow the action.

Windows PC + display.

A Windows computer runs Rack Vision. Use a screen that players can comfortably see from the table. Final release requirements will be published before purchase.

Compatible USB camera.

A stable, clear view of the whole playing surface is essential. Camera discovery, table calibration and a pre-match check help prepare that view.

Optional capture setup.

Recording and broadcast tools are being developed alongside the app. Storage, camera and OBS requirements depend on the features you plan to use.

Hardware compatibility is not universal. Approved setups and final requirements are still being tested. The integrated camera-light concept is a separate future product.

Before the first break

Good questions. Clear answers.

Is Rack Vision available to buy or download?

The Windows beta is available with an access code provided by Rack Vision. Visit Software to explore the app and download with your code. The camera light remains in development; we are not taking payments or preorders.

Does it automatically referee every shot?

Not in the current development build. Camera observations require human review and confirmation. Automatic foul calls, contact-order judgments and win decisions remain development goals, not release-ready promises.

What do I need to run it?

The main app is being developed for Windows with compatible USB/UVC cameras. Camera placement, lighting, calibration and computer performance matter. Final requirements and supported setups will be announced before release.

Do I have to buy the camera-equipped light?

The light is a separate hardware concept planned for later, with a planned price of $499.99 USD. The app’s current development path uses compatible USB cameras. Final bundle terms, compatibility and a release date have not been announced. Orders and preorders are not open.

Which games and formats are being developed?

The build includes 8 Ball, Straight 8, 9 Ball, 10 Ball, One Pocket, Cutthroat, Kelly Pool and Last Pocket. Available player formats depend on the selected game, including singles, doubles and supported group modes.

Can I use it for a casual game night?

That is a central part of the idea. Shared scoring, player records, brackets and game-night extras are being brought together for friends, families and pool rooms. Final release features are subject to testing.
