is there an api for something like this?

Question

i have seen this and i wanted to know if there is any open source web based thing, which has similar functionality. cool would be a JS api/library :-)

thanks in advice

UPDATE

sorry for that, didn't know that German sites are so awful to you :-D

it's about a tool where you can place peaces of furniture into a taken photo, as if it would be a virtual room.

i think you define what's the floor and then the furniture objects dimensions, are scaled to the rooms size and perspective.

If you like Java, I'd look at the program "Art of Illusion". It is an open source 3d modeling, rendering, and animation package. It has a pretty good community and active forum. The Advanced Rendering plugin would allow the furniture to cast shadows on the room using a "shadow catcher" feature. See
