iTowns is a web framework written in Javascript/WebGL for visualisation of 3D geographic data, allowing anotaion and precise measurements in 3D. Initially iTowns was developed by IGN MATIS research laboratory ant its goal was the visualis of street view images and terrestrial lidar point clouds. Actually it can support any geographical 3D data.
The core of the original iTowns application was developped by IGN MATIS research laboratory.

The latest version provides the following features :
- Load and project Oriented Images on mesh (cube or city model)
- Load and display Panoramic Images
- Load Depth Panoramic Image and render in 3D
- Load 2D multipolygons with height (building footprint) from WFS or local file and triangulate it to create building boxes. This mesh can then be use for texture projection.
- Navigate through Image Data using click and go functions
- Load and display Point Cloud from PLY files.
- Load and display 3D textured models (B3D, 3DS).
