You would need a fairly hefty setup to achieve it in realtime. It would need to learn how to extract the parts from the composition and recreate them with the standard tools. I imagine some kind of genetic based learning algorithm would help similar to the work done on the self driving cars, the robot face or the Lord of the rings animations. It would be a very interesting project and a great addition to a CV but you might need a couple of years and some serious cash to achieve any significant results...
