Just drive the plane through a modifier node and use an image stream as the modifier source. A video or the webcam footage will be perfect. The modifier node displaces the vertices by an offset calculated from the corresponding the pixel values of the mapped source image. The best result can be achieved with a white background and a dark object. Alternately you could also use an interactive sprite and convert it to a bitmap. If you have a webcam and you are in a bright room you have to check out the second composition.

The same works with the webcam as well, asumed you have a solid background. Driving the whole thing with the wiimote you get some pretty cool stuff.

In the simulation, 60 spheres are bouncing on a plane. The plane’s rotation is driven by the pitch and roll values of a wiimote. The physic simulation is done with the great WOW phisics engine, for the 3d rendering we used Papervision3D primitves and the Wiimote handling is done with WiiFlash.
