is the iterative generation of artifacts intended to answer questions that get you closer to your final solution
is creating a concrete embodiment of a concept which become a way to test your hypotheses
is building to think
prototyping . . .
prototype: what?product
works like
looks like
interacts like
service/experience space story
to gain empathy
to explore
to test
to inspire
understand the design space
build to think
test and refine solutions
inspire with your prototype
prototype: why?
prototype: fail early and often
(risk vs. iteration curve)(cost of failure vs. project time)
prototype: identify a variable
“Like this?”
“Mm, yes like that.”Developed for Gyrus ACMI, ENT Division
prototype: scale resolution
prototype: create experiences
Embrace v 0.0
Embrace v 1.0
prototype: let go
prototype resolution should match the progress of your development
identify the variable
you want to explore
let go of yourprototypes
createexperiences
prototype: how?
1. no-res prototyping 2. lo-res prototyping
prototype now
enact need and solution conceptusing space and design materials
or use the props to create a scene
Picture of set that Liz is building?
In 20 minutes,you’ll have prototypes to test with users.
prototype now
client dinnersfocus groups
usability centers
surveysweb analytics
beta testing
pre-release
test with users
your testing mindset
use your prototypes as a probe to continue to gain empathy for your users
testing not selling
your users are the experts
Change to reflect users once they are decided
test: how?
host/hostess
active observers
assign team roles
test: how?
let the user experience the prototype:set the scene surrounding your prototypegive a short explanation to set contextact like a guide (not a lead)
test: how?
observe the experience: capture what worked, and what didn’t worksee how users use and mis-use your prototypelisten more than you talk to give users a chance to interpret
engage the user:iterate on the fly to communicate learnings
ask specific, open-ended questionsremember: the user is the expert
test: how?
< what we see & hear what we feel the user is feeling >
what new information do you have about how your solution addresses that need?
what new information do you have about needs?
