There is a game called 3D pool, which has been renamed a long time ago, I
think, that lets you play pool in a 3D persective.  You may choose any
point on the screen, and rotate the screen centered around that point.
You can get virtually any persective you want.  Unfortunantely, that is
how you aim your cue stick, you rotate and move the screen so that you
are looking from the perspective of down the cue stick, then you let go.
  It is not a good simulator, but it is the only 3D one I know of.  It 
would not be suitable for teaching.  (Maby just to have a pool table you 
could rotate in all three demensions)
