1) I think a lot of people have had this idea. It's kind of "obvious" IMHO.
2) There's a big technical challenge, but...
3) There's an even bigger content challenge. Where is this furniture content going to come from? Are manufacturers going to create 3d models? How/why? This is an industry that still seems to love to function using showroom catalogs.
4) What exactly is the business model?
If you think you could sell it if it was built, then just pretend it's built - and why not try pitching it here? Not just describing the UX but describing the end to end function of the business, content pipeline, sales cycle, and how it's going to generate appreciable amounts of revenue.
