are there any open hardware projects to create such point clouds?
You might be interested in OpenDroneMap [1] and Mapillary's OpenSfM [2],[3]

I would really like to see that as well. The rendering is interesting, but only as a passing curiosity if we can't author data.
SfM is a photogrammetry / computer vision method that can produce 3D point clouds from photographs of objects taken at multiple angles. It is a passive method that uses only the light reflected from the object.
LiDAR uses laser ranging to actively measure the 3D geometry of a scene.
