ReVI

ReVI, short for Reconfigurable Vision Interface, is a term used in discussions of adaptive display technologies and human-computer interaction to describe a system that dynamically adapts visual output to a user’s context and task. It encompasses ideas about how information presentation can be tailored in real time to improve usability and efficiency.

In some sources, ReVI also denotes other concepts such as Reactive Virtual Instrument or Reverse Video Imaging; however, the most common usage refers to an adjustable vision interface designed to optimize information presentation.

Core ideas include a modular display surface, eye-tracking, sensor fusion from head- and body-mounted devices, and real-time remapping of content to maintain legibility and context relevance.

Potential applications span augmented reality and mixed reality headsets, automotive heads-up displays, medical imaging viewers, and accessibility tools that adapt to user needs.

Development status is largely experimental, with theoretical discussions in academia and a limited number of prototypes. There is no widely adopted standard for ReVI implementations.

Challenges include latency, calibration, privacy considerations, interoperability with existing display ecosystems, and ensuring user habituation does not degrade performance.
