See http://www.squeaksource.com/LatexMorph.

LatextMorph is a typesetter engine that converts LaTeX snippets into Images.
It can be made to work in real time by scripting a Text object to modify its 
input field. It was written primarily for middle school students using Linux 
desktops. If you are using it on Wintel or Mac, it may need additional work in 
terms of writing the glue code for MicTeX.
