Yes, but it's tricky. Since scatterplot3d() performs a projection 3D -->
2D and identify() is designed for 2D, we have to use the following
trick:
scatterplot3d() returns invisibly some useful functions to do the
transformation for the generated plot. So let's assign the result into
"s3d":
s3d <- scatterplot3d(x, y, z)
# No we can use:
identify(s3d$xyz.convert(x, y, z), row.names(Data))
For details see the Values section in ?scatterplot3d.
Anyway, if you want to label *all* points, you can use:
s3d <- scatterplot3d(x, y, z)
text(s3d$xyz.convert(x, y, z), label = row.names(Data), pos = 4)
