+plasio
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+plasio is a project by Uday Verma that implements point cloud 
+rendering capability in a browser. Specifically, it implements the `ASPRS LAS`_ 
+and `LASzip`_  formats. It is `Chrome`_-only at this time, but it is hoped that 
+other contributors can step forward to bring it to other browsers.
+
+http://plas.io contains a demo of the interface and supports both LAS and LAZ.
