in the video'd demo you could, for example, wrap a movie window around the corner of the cube and have it playing on two of the cube's surfaces. Whether it updated as you moved the window or the cube around i cannot recall. more when i find what i did with the damned avi - would help if i could vaguely remember what the file was called.
