<abstract>
<p>Accurate and intuitive visualization of urban development projects is a persistent challenge in spatial planning and public participation. Recent advances in Extended Reality (XR) offer new opportunities to integrate geospatial data directly within the user&amp;rsquo;s real environment. This paper introduces GeoWebXR, an extension of the WebXR API designed to provide absolute georeferencing of the XR reference space via a standardized geopose. We present an outdoor proof-of-concept implementation that integrates a dual-antenna RTK GNSS receiver mounted on an XR headset. High-precision GNSS measurements are fused with the device&amp;rsquo;s local pose estimates to compute a consistent and accurate geopose, enabling decimeter-level alignment between virtual and physical environments. Leveraging GeoWebXR, WebGL applications can render georeferenced 3D content in situ through a web browser. We demonstrate this capability using the iTowns geospatial visualization framework to deliver an XR experience for urban planning. The system supports both 1:1-scale in-situ visualization and reduced-scale overview modes, enabling seamless multiscale exploration of planning scenarios. To mitigate cognitive overload in dense urban contexts, we implement several visualization and interaction strategies and conduct a preliminary usability evaluation.</p>
