The way I would do your demo in OpenGL would be that every morph
renders to its own off-screen surface, and when compositing, it would
apply the non-linear transformation. This is now a standard
implementation technique, except it usually is not used for
projective geometry but for fancy effects (like the Genie effect when
minimizing Mac OS X windows).
Mind I did not understand what you said in the talk, just commenting
on the visuals ...
