How do I add a simulated RGBD camera to Rviz?

Hello,

I have a simulated Rviz environment with a number of objects present. I would like to add a simulated RGBD camera which would record point clouds and image data of the virtual scene. Is such a thing possible in Rviz? I have heard it is something potentially doable in Gazebo see link "https://sir.upc.edu/projects/rostutorials/9-gazebo_sensors_tutorial/index.html#depth-label" but can't find it for Rviz.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank-you!

You might be confused. Gazebo is generally used for simulation while RVIZ is used to display run-time data. You need to create the simulation in Gazebo.
