A subjective virtual environment for collaborative information visualization

Although it is generally desirable that users in a collaborative virtual environment should perceive it in the same way we argue that in some situations it may be useful to allow users’ views of the environment to diverge, allowing each user to tailor their view to one that best suits their needs whilst still allowing some form of collaboration. We refer to such environments as subjective environments. In this paper we describe an initial prototype of a subjective visualization system and the techniques used in its implementation.
