In the following example, each model is added to a sub-panel on the main vizinfo panel. Each time one of the sub-panels is selected, a model is added to the world:

import viz
import vizinfo
import vizact
import vizdlg
import random

viz.go()

piazza = viz.addChild('piazza.osgb',scene=1)

avatarPanel = vizinfo.InfoPanel('Add an avatar',align=viz.ALIGN_LEFT_BOTTOM,fontSize=22,ic on=False)
avatarFiles = ['vcc_male.cfg','vcc_female.cfg','vcc_male2.cfg']
avatars = []
avatarPosition = [[-4.5,0,9],[-2.2,0,7.3],[-4.3,0,12],[-3,0,16.7],[4,0,21.8],[2.3,0,19.8],[4.1,0,14.7],[4.3,0,11.9],[4.5,0,9],[2.2,0,7.3]]

def avatarPicked(avatar,filename):

pos = avatarPosition.pop()
euler = [random.randint(180,360),0,0]
avatarClone = avatar.clone(pos=pos,euler=euler)

if len(avatarPosition) ==0 :
avatarPanel.visible(viz.OFF)
print 'All the avatars have been added'

for i,filename in enumerate(avatarFiles):

avatar = viz.addAvatar(filename, scale=[45]*3, euler=[i*90,0,0])
avatar.addAction(vizact.spin(0,1,0,45))
avatar.enable(viz.DEPTH_TEST, op=viz.OP_ROOT)
avatar.state(1)
avatars.append(avatar)
subPanel = vizdlg.Panel(layout = vizdlg.LAYOUT_VERT_CENTER, border= False)
subPanel.setMinSize([100,0])
subPanel.addItem(avatar)
avatarPanel.addItem(subPanel,align=viz.ALIGN_CENTE R)
vizact.onbuttonup(subPanel, avatarPicked, avatar, filename)

You can use texture quads placed in the world and update their positions when selections are made. Use viz.pick (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#commands/viz/pick.htm) to help with selections. To fix the quads to the view, set their reference frame (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#commands/node3d/setReferenceFrame.htm) to viz.RF_VIEW:

import viz
viz.go()

viz.addChild('dojo.osgb')

positions = [0.3,0,1],[0,0,1.5],[-0.4,0,2]
lake = viz.addTexture('image2.jpg')

for position in positions:
quad = viz.addTexQuad(pos=position,scale=[0.3]*3)
quad.texture(lake)
quad.setReferenceFrame(viz.RF_VIEW)
quad.disable(viz.DEPTH_TEST)
