    Yes, there are already some apps that do this. Here is an example.

    You can use Unity or SharpDX to accomplish this. Unity is the easiest, add a game object to your scene, stretch it long wide and flat, add a picture to your materials and drag it onto the game object.

    SharpDX is more complex but an example is here.

    If you want to do something more dynamic like scan the floor and apply a texture to the floor, have a look at the Holographic Toolkit for Unity. specifically the Spatial Mapping prefabs.
