lidar - What is the status of any ongoing efforts that will allow QGIS to display .las files directly in the main 2D window?


After some research on QGIS's ability to display .las files, I came to the conclusion that it is not possible: currently any attempt at this requires converting .las to .shp as described here and here.


I am wondering if there is an ongoing effort to make direct .las viewing possible in the main window of QGIS (not a separate 3D window), and more broadly, what the main challenge is from a development perspective? (I'm no expert programmer, so I am looking for a digested explanation if anyone can provide one.)


Are there any similar efforts happening in other opensource GIS software that might be ahead of those of QGIS?
