HOW TO PLAY REALITY POOL:

REALITY MODE
\- Choose anything to use as your target image
\- Place the target image flat on a table or the floor - make sure you have enough space around so you don't bump into anything as you move around the table to line up your shot
\- Scan the target image - hold your device directly above your image so the target image fills the screen guides
\- When both circles go green you're good to go. If the inner circle goes Green your device is in the correct position. If the outer circle goes green the app thinks your image is good enough to activate, If it stays white your image isn't good enough or the lighting condition might not be quite right
\- Tap the lightning symbol to turn on the flash (where applicable) but beware of shiny reflections they can cause havoc with this technology
\- Once you have activated Reality mode and the pool table appears on your image simply rotate your DEVICE back down in front of you to look around the pool table, remember to keep the target image in view at all times otherwise it will activate 2D mode

GAME CONTROLS
\- Swipe left and right to rotate the table and aim the cue, notice the cue always settles at the bottom of the screen aiming forward
\- When your lined up in the general direction, pull back and hold on the cue to control power
\- In Reality mode move the device left and right to fine tune your aim
\- In 2D mode hold and swipe left & right to fine tune your aim
\- Let go to release & shoot

*Also works just as well in the coffee shop, at work, on the commute or at home, as long as the image has good contrast and you avoid reflective and shiny surfaces. Images can be any size, the bigger the better if you want to experience life size pool on your mobile.
