It will be great to have at least scale bar and the north arrow for the 3d canvas.

How would they work here (given that scale and bearing will vary with distance from observer)?

Possibly we could render them as "flat" items onto the ground surface, so that at least they'll be true at the rendered point and the user's eyes can estimate distances/bearings based on that...

Probably as a 3d axes showing x,y and z units. And for north arrow, best to opt for xyz axes too.
