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,icon=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_CENTER)
    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 to help with selections. To fix the quads to the view, set their reference frame 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)
