No, the camera capabilities of AppGameKit is very limited and currently only allows you to grab a still-frame (which itself can take some time to import on Android devices). A feature request was made at one point to allow the camera stream to be directed to a sprite texture in real-time, which would allow for manipulation as you want. V2 will support shaders which would likewise allow you to perform filter effects on it. However, currently there is no timeline for when anything more will be done with the camera commands.

I don't think additional camera commands are asked about much. At least I've not heard any since the current commands were added.

Bummer. I just had an idea about this. You could write a small bit of facial recognition code and determine where the user's face is in comparison to the center of the camera lens. This could be used to create a 3D effect for backgrounds/parallax. Would be super cool and much better than trying to do it with accelerometers/gyros/etc.
