Abstract
A combination pool cue stick and controller is provided which includes a housing. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a housing adapted to move over a flat surface, the housing including a stalk extending upwardly from the housing supporting a tapered tubular or ring-like member adapted to receive a pool cue, sensing means in the housing, the stalk and the tubular member to sense the position and movement of the pool cue and send this information to circuitry which processes the information for input into a computer which in turn uses appropriate compatible software to display the effects of the pool cue activity.
