are you sure the compositor would be fast enough for this to be
useful? - perhaps you could get 1fps or so, but not sure why you'd
want that.

The compositor isnt setup to pipeline real-time input and continuously
update, it could be hacked to do it but I dont think this is really
fitting into the existing design really well.

I'm guessing for this some GLSL shader would be better suited.
