Abstract: $SLR$ geometry is one of the eight 3-dimensional Thurston geometries, it can be derived from the 3-dimensional Lie group of all $2imes2$ real matrices with determinant one. Our aim is to describe and visualize the {it regular infinite (torus-like) or bounded} $p$-gonal prism tilings in $SLR$ space. For this purpose we introduce the notion of the infinite and bounded prisms, prove that there exist infinite many regular infinite $p$-gonal face-to-face prism tilings $c{T}_p^i(q)$ and infinitely many regular (bounded) $p$-gonal non-face-to-face $SLR$ prism tilings $c{T}_p(q)$ for parameters $pge3$ where $frac2pp-2<qinmathbbN$. Moreover, we develope a method to determine the data of the space filling regular infinite and bounded prism tilings. We apply the above procedure to $c{T}_3^i(q)$ and $c{T}_3(q)$ where $6<qinmathbbN$ and visualize them and the corresponding tilings. E. Moln'ar showed, that the homogeneous 3-spaces have a unified interpretation in the projective 3-space $$. In our work we will use this projective model of $SLR$ geometry and in this manner the prisms and prism tilings can be visualized on the Euclidean screen of computer.
