This document discusses different methods of prototyping, including paper prototyping, interactive prototyping, and physical prototyping. Paper prototyping is the least expensive and allows for quick adjustments. Interactive prototypes can simulate digital experiences through animation. Physical prototypes are useful for testing products and environments but are often the most expensive. The document also provides tips on how to make prototypes and conduct usability testing to improve designs.
Week 12
- 1. Prototyping INTERACTION DESIGN | APR. 19, 2016 WEEK 12
- 3. A prototype is anything a person can look at and respond to. (A prototype doesn’t usually have to be very complex in order to learn what you need to know.)
- 4. A communication exercise that tests ideas A simulation of how a product could work The most compelling way to demonstrate interaction Has many levels of fidelity and cost PROTOTYPING
- 9. Why Do We Prototype?
- 10. TO FIGURE SHIT OUT
- 11. SIMULATE THE EXPERIENCE FIND & FIX PROBLEMS PREVENT NEEDLESS SPENDING SELL AN IDEA
- 12. Different Methods of Prototyping
- 14. Least expensive and quickest form of prototyping Gives the impression that the idea is unfinished, and thus editable Pieces can be adjusted on the fly because they’re easily disposable Useful as a shared activity with participants PAPER PROTOTYPING
- 17. Range in fidelity, but are typically medium-high fidelity Simulates digital experiences well by incorporating animation Can be easily distributed through online channels INTERACTIVE PROTOTYPING
- 18. Works well for physical products or environmental designs Allows testing of materials that could become a design factor Researching physical behaviors related to a product can be done Often the most expensive or least accessible form of prototyping PHYSICAL PROTOTYPING
- 21. How do I make a prototype?
- 22. Draw sketches (already done) Make a storyboard (already done) Figure out what you need to prototype (any open questions?) Figure out how you’re going to make the prototype (as efficiently as possible)
- 23. What software should I use if I’m creating a digital prototype? Invision - more info
- 24. What software should I use if I’m creating a digital prototype? Apple Keynote - more info
- 25. There are lots of other options, too. See here
- 26. How to usability test a prototype with users
- 27. Assignment
- 28. Keep working on your group projects. Build a prototype to test your screen dimensions, behaviors, and the overall experience. Conduct a quick usability test with users.
