my idea is to integrate a simple 3d engine (optionaly using opengl for some calculations) in order to use the faces of the 3d objects as a layer with the ability of rendering them with cool effects.

with a plane you could move it to a perspective view, so you can create perspective objects without transforming them, for example, you could add a text and make a perspective view of the text but you would still be able to change the text or any other element of the layer-plane. idem for inserted jpgs. also you could deform the plane, bend it, move a corner, make waves on it, etc so you could add so much cool effects, think about the effect of making a old photo with bended corners.

with a box (like the actual 3d box) you could add text, etc on every face and still be able to transform the box.

with a sphere you could make virtually lens effects, same for a cylinder.
