I want the user to be able to select his own path... Pre-rendered scenes
would also take up too much space.

POV render speed is not so critical. Display speed and refresh rate needs
are tied very much to the area being covered and the speed of assumed travel
within the scene. In my case the scene covers many miles and travel speed is
reasonably low.

    Ok, I still think the rate of output you're going to get from POVRay is
far below your requirements.
    How complicated are the scenes you'll be exporting to POVRay ?
    What's the target hardware ?
    What's you're minimum required frame rate ?
