Description

This toolkit is pretty awesome!

I'd like to be able to add a text label to a node that's always readable to the user (e.g. - the label doesn't rotate with the scene). Perhaps this would be a Sprite rendered on top of the scene?

Example: in the DemoPlacementViewController there is a red and green sphere to indicate the beginning and end of the track. It would be nice to able to display a label like "Start" or "End" on top of those beginning and ending nodes.

Research direction

Start with DemoPlacementViewController, where the red and green spheres mark the beginning and end of the track. Read how those nodes are created and displayed, then determine the project-supported approach for labels that remain readable rather than rotating with the scene. Done means the example can show labels such as “Start” and “End” above those nodes.
