think of a pool game with electromagnetic pool balls floating above and blow and to the sides of a machine projecting magnetic fields that allow the balls to float effortlessly when pushed , but in three dimensions. holes can be at the 8 internal corners of 3 dimensional cube space

       Not really redundant with [2fries]'s link, but more so with mine. Also, [marked-for-deletion] because magic—quote from the help page:   

       // magic - the author is using a technology they know very little about as magic. This imparts superpowers, among them the ability […] to levitate any number of objects from any distance (just attach magnets) //

       This would be much easier to simulate as an app than build IRL. Plus more people would get to play than could visit the single existing table, which noone would get to play on anyway for fear of scratching the 3d felt.

       teslaberry - move this to the game category please.

       I agree that an app would be a better embodiment of this invention.
