Prototyping Ideas “ Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. -- Leonardo Da Vinci 13,000 pages Screen sketch Software Cardboard mockup 3D printed model Video What does prototype mean in interaction design? Communication Create shared preview among all stakeholders Decision-Making Compare design variations and resolve conflicts Evaluation & Feedback Fast and inexpensive ways to refine design Why do we need prototypes ? High Medium Low Prototypes categorized by Fidelity Low Medium Prototypes categorized by Fidelity High Paper Prototypes categorized by Digital Medium Only How to prototype ? 2 Steps ?! 1. Sketch key pages on separate paper 2. Specify how user will transition between them using Arrows 1. Create key pages by placing UI elements in the right place. 2. Add interactivity by establishing links between them anything 1 2 familiar? 1.
