This technique is usually termed a HUD - Head Up Display.
The easiest, though probably not the prettiest way, to do this is to
keep the geometry in the same branch of the scenegraph as your
ViewPlatform. Say you have something like:
Universe
|
Locale
|--------------+
BG BG
| |
Your world TG
|-----------------+
ViewPlatform Box &
Other "static"
geometry
