Self leveling pool table

Check this out!

How can you play pool on a rocking cruise ship? With this self-leveling pool table. Taken from the cruise ship “Radiance of the Seas” as it sailed through some rough weather.
Now that is some smooth engineering. Amazing how the balls don't move at all.

What happens if you struggle to reach the cue ball and have to lean on the table? :|

It's awesome how it works, love it.

The only downside I can see is that you ar moving with the ship, so a rock to one side just as you're about to take your shot and it'll throw you off.

Only real solution would be to have a whole gyroscopic floor with the pool table in the middle.

And having just been on a cruise last year, gyroscopic beds would be a god send!!
