optimal use of prototyping
5 likes770 views
The document outlines a methodology for optimal prototyping in product design consisting of 4 steps: 1) Determine why prototyping is needed and what product features need examination; 2) Research available prototyping techniques; 3) Select the most suitable technique based on design phase, context, and demands; 4) Create the prototype, test it, and learn lessons to apply to subsequent design steps. The goal is to use prototyping for comprehension, improved communication, and incorporating feedback into the design process.
