To start understanding the code and API, look at WorldObject and WorldObjectManager classes and the globals.h header file. The hello world example emplaces a label in the world with the following code:

//instantiate world object and set label
WorldObject* worldObject = new WorldObject();
worldObject->setLabel("Hello World!");

//set world object position
GeodeticPosition position;
position.latitude = 0.0; //in decimal degrees
position.longitude = 0.0;
position.altitude = 1.0; //in Km
worldObject->setGeodeticPosition(position);

//add world object to manager so that it gets rendered
WorldObjectManager::getInstance()->addWorldObject(worldObject);
