Can you make a tool to convert real estate agents' wide-angle photos of homes into images that enable the person viewing them to get a sense of the actual room dimensions?

You can easily "convert" wide angle photos to "normal" photos by just cropping out at least 50% of the wide angle photo.

Try it with your smartphone: make two pictures from exactly the same position, one with your wide angle lens and one with your normal lens. After that you should be able to crop the wide angle version in such a way that the framing & composition will be almost identical to the normal angled photo.

I believe it's possible. Could you share an example to help me better understand the task? Feel free to email me at paul.chauvin@home-imagine.com
