That's a great idea. If I could get the image processing to run fast enough, I'd love to get to a point where you could have Screentendo overlay a video (of a scrolling level for example), and have the level blocks generate as the video played.

My Sony phone has augmented reality toys that kind of do this. Point your phone at a table top, and dinosaurs appear which are able to navigate objects on the table and trees grow out of things.
The Sony PS4 also has demos with the same idea.
I'm almost 100% sure I've seen this demoed before, and obviously it wouldn't be real-time, but would certainly be a cool proof of concept.
