I was thinking about this the other day when my mum was having some windows measured up for replacement. An app for an iPad whereby the chap could just photograph the house and immediately show what the new ones will look like would sell like hot cakes.
A very basic program shouldn't be that difficult for windows in a plane wall. Ideally the app would do a bit of image recognition and find the corners of the openings for itself, but manually identifying them would do. Once it has been given the information about the actual dimensions the arithmetic to correct the size/rotation/perspective isn't very complicated.
A commercial app would mean coping with three dimensions and that would be more of a headache.
