I am trying to visualize camera inside RViz. The camera info topic and image topic are available as shown below:

[baxter - http://011312P0016.local:11311] baxterpc@BaxterPC7350:~/ros_ws$ rostopic list|grep kinect
/head/kinect2/k2_rgb/camera_info
/head/kinect2/k2_rgb/image

I can also get the live echo from camera_info topic in the terminal.

The image can be seen using ros image_view tool as following:

Last screenshot, under the "Camera" topic, there is a "Transport Hint", test them all!
