I'm looking at two examples, one is canvas interactive objects and the other is mouse tooltip. I tried combining the two to generate text labels on each individual cube and here's what I have so far.
However, the text moves with the rotating cubes and the text appears backwards or sideways at times.
How can I make the text fixed in a sprite like in the mouse tooltip (http://stemkoski.github.io/Three.js/Mouse-Tooltip.html) example? I tried to incorporate the sprite but I kept getting errors. I'm not sure how to do it. Could you explain how I can go by it?
Thanks.
Here's my code so far:

Billboarding is easy. All you have to do, in your case, is add this inside your render loop:
if ( currentLabel ) currentLabel.lookAt( camera.position );
