Display 2D images/text and real time refresh

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey !

I would like to implement some information view like you can see in AR 
application like wikitude where you see the far POI and a information display 
in 2D rectangle which is no affect by distance in real world (ie rectangle 
keeps his aspect).

You can see in this image.

I am not  comfortable with all opengl stuff so what i have done : (GLText is a 
bit simple for what I want to do)

- Make a FrameLayout add TextView in it.
- Use util.IO.loadBitmapFromView to get bitmap of FrameLayout
- Make a mesh with newTexturedSquare and the bitmap
- Then use this mesh

But I need to refresh the text.

What I will to do ?

- Delete mesh
- Remake a mesh with new text

But I don't know if it is optimal, I think not.

Do you have hints to do what I want to do ?

Actually I need to do farAwayObject effect but with the refresh of text.

Thank you.

PP.

And another question,

SimpleTooFarAwayObject object displayed is a bit trembling whereas GeoObj 
object is very stable on display. Why  a such difference ?
