Perspective transformation of a 2d streamplot

Question

I have a two-dimensional streamline plot from a fluid dynamics simulation. I am wondering: is it possible to somehow allow Mathematica to treat the streamline plot as a plane in three-dimensional plot so that I can apply a camera perspective transformation to the resulting three-dimensional plot?

To provide a bit more information, I have three-dimensional scenes (an example of which is shown below) for which I am running fluid dynamics simulations. As a result of these simulations, I obtain a series of two-dimensional windflow velocity fields, which are cross-sections of the true three-dimensional windflow velocity fields. These fields quantify the direction and speed of the wind through the environment subject to the geometry constraints of the scene and some user-defined parameters and boundary conditions.

For visualization purposes, I'm interested in transforming and overlaying one or more of the two-dimensional streamline plots of the velocity fields onto my three-dimensional scene such that the two-dimensional streamline plot takes the place of the red plane in the image below. Although I could simply rasterize the streamline plot, treat it as a texture for the plane, and render the scene in 3DS Max, I'm hoping to overlay the streamline plots as vector graphics.

Addendum: As per Yves' suggestion, I have supplied a subsampled version of the windflow velocity field that I am using for my plots. Using his wonderful script, I am able to take a two-dimensional streamline plot and rotate/scale it as if it was a three-dimensional plot.

ListStreamPlot[data, StreamPoints -> Fine][[1]] /. Arrow[pts_] :> Arrow[{#[[1]], 0, #[[2]]} & /@ pts] // Graphics3D

The only remaining question that I have is: how can I change the camera perspective parameters of the plot? Specifically, I would like change the perspective of the three-dimensional streamline plot such that the bounding box around the plot takes the shape of a trapezoid and the streamline trajectories are modified accordingly. I am aware that Graphics3D has ViewAngle, ViewPoint, and ViewVector options, but I am unsure as to how to use them in the context of Yves' script.

Answer 1

I am not entirely sure how you want to proceed, but if you transfer your 2D data to 3-space and render that, then you can just plug in any combination of view-related options you like (in this case just ViewPoint). You can also apply Translate or similar functions to position/align your objects:

ypos = 25;

data3d = ListStreamPlot[data, StreamPoints -> Fine][[1]] /. 
   Arrow[pts_] :> Arrow[{#[[1]], ypos, #[[2]]} & /@ pts];

addon = Translate[
     ExampleData[{"Geometry3D", "SpaceShuttle"}, 
      "PolygonObjects"], #] & /@ RandomReal[{0, 50}, {10, 3}];

Graphics3D[{addon, data3d}, ViewPoint -> .8 {-1, -1, 0}, Axes -> True,
  AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"}]
