read function for LAS data
Thanks Alex, I will eventually post this to a broader audience. I've used liblas and lastools, but the aim here is for a pure R implementation that is built directly from the LAS specification without 3rd party tools. The R code already works quite well to extract x/y/z/time/intensity, it just needs some extra work to tidy up and generalize things and ensure that very big datasets can be read. Cheers, Mike.

Hello, I'm looking for interest in this functionality and eventually working it into a package. I don't actually use LAS data much, and only have one example file so I'm hoping others who do or know others who would be interested can help. I have previously posted this to r-spatial-devel.
I think there are people who would use it. You might want to have a look at http://liblas.org/ (some of the same people that do gdal/org work) Wrapping this library might be a good approach. There are example files available too. Thanks, Alex
