What is Personal Reality (PR)

Chapter 3
Handbook of Research on Interactive Information Quality in Expanding Social Network Communications
Is another approach to the design of Artificial Reality (AR) systems, and is in one sense the very opposite of Virtual Reality (VR) systems where the user is immersed in a virtual world which he then adapts himself to. Here the world view adapts to the person in a highly specific way, and this class of artificial reality system may be properly called a “Personal Reality” (PR) system. The nature of the personalization of the system is not defined and may differ from one design to the next. Typically the PR system might adapt optical parameters such as perspective projection, the field of view of specific aspects of a scene, the distance and scale of objects, and also as well creating background contexts for aspects of the display where appropriate

Abstract
A new philosophy of user interface design is described. Named the “Lookable User Interface,” or LUI, the approach is based on the concept of a Personal Reality (PR) system. Here the computer adapts to the user's worldview in a personalized way, and according to the specific requirements, behaviors, and perceptive skills of the individual. Typically, a PR system creates and adjusts (in real-time) 3D perspective view(s) of a data-set, including (potentially) the field of view of a scene and the apparent distance and scale of objects, whilst also creating an aesthetic “eye-friendly” context for computing operations. A Lookable User Interface (LUI) affords the maximum degree of visual accessibility to digital content. The authors examine the results of testing a Lookable User Interface. Spectasia is one example of a Personal Virtual Reality (PVR) that can be used to visualize links between universals and particulars within digital worlds.
