is what you are proposing intended to be some sort of virtual reality world, or just something that could translate between mediums (e.g. take a photo, and make it into an animated video)?...
I think what I am talking about is close to second variant and it is not so fantastic.
Today, most graphics editors (like Photoshop) give a possibility to combine different images. It means, I can change sujet of a picture by adding some new objects, taken from other pictures. Also I can move objects to another locations and I can even a little change the view of objects.
So, I am able to build a new picture, having existed objects (what is close to creating an image from graphical primitives). But I will be very annoyed at these manipulations, it will be better to have an intellectual tool with a high level user interface to simplify this job!!!
The most interesting point is changing objects. I suppose everything can be adjusted according our preferences and it can be done by two different ways:
1. Converting analog data to digital form, changing and converting back.
In principle, any visualized object on the picture can be described by the class of object-oriented language. So, it could have some many properties, that can be changed according our desires.
For example, there is an original picture with a beautiful princess, who is sitting near the lake with a flower in her hand.
But I want to see this princess with a knife in her hand, sitting close to superman Agent 007.
So, first of all I need to change the object "Princess" and I need to change only one property of this object - the property "hand"...
I know, that convertation of images from analog form to digital and back without losing of quality is a very difficult and memory-consuming.
As well as very difficult to specify universal classes (with appropriated properties) to describe visualized objects.
But on this forum we are talking about our desires and possibled ways of realisation of these desires!
2. Manipulations with analog data.
In principle, we are able to change the object (presented in bmp format, for example) by redrawing parts of the object. These redrawings can be done using some functions, dependable on our desires. I do not have any experience of work with analog data, that's way I cannot describe how it can be done in details.

So, after changing frames we can start to work with animation of these frames!
