Can I display the Android device's camera feed as a background to a 3D scene? (for augmented reality purposes)

Is there any possible way to display the live video feed from the camera as the background to the unity scene, to allow any 3d objects in the scene to appear over the camera feed?

I wouldn't have thought it would be too difficult to simply turn the camera on from the app and apply it's feed to the background but so far I have been unable to find any information on how to do this.

Help appreciated.

Unfortunately it does not appear to be compatible with unity 3.4.

Use Qualcomm's Augmented Reality Platform for that.
