Realsense gives you rgb and depth images. Before visualizing something on rviz, you have to compute a pointcloud. You can use: https://github.com/robotology/yarp-devices-ros2/tree/master/src%2Fdevices%2FrgbdToPointCloudSensor_nws_ros2.
Since poincloud is an expensive datatype in terms of used memory and bandwidth, it is highly recommended to transmit over the network compressed rgb and depth images, and create the pointcloud locally, as the final step of the pipeline.
