How to show an image within camera view?

ekor

Newbie
Ok so aside from making apps I've recently started a custom made to order furniture business and now it's time to mix the two together.
But i can't figure out how.
I wanna build an app where clients will be able to use their phone's camera to see how something will look in their home.
So let's say I make them a coffee table Ill send them a picture and they can point their camera where the table will be & see the image overlay the camera view if that makes sense.

Only i can't figure how to do it. Any suggestions or points in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Not that I've ever tackled something like this before, but I see two main areas of investigation:-

1. How to do image overlay
2. How to interactively rotate a 3D image

That second point is important, because your customers will want to scale and change the orientation of the image, to fit within the room.
I'd just be quoting Google links at this stage, but I got some promising results by searching for "android 3d image rotation example"

I think it's a challenging project. Good luck.
