For us, Reality by definition, is what we perceive. Our mind/brain/consciousness interprets the perceptions, draws conclusions makes up reality by interfacing an Electromagnetic medium. When trying to explain Popular Quantum Physics, one should avoid using the word Reality loosely.
I think most people's definition of reality would be precisely not that it "is what we perceive", in that two people can and often do perceive the same underlying reality differently. That there is an underlying reality at all may be an incorrect assumption, but it is the intuition most people have.
