Let’s talk Labs!

Friday, 15 May 2009

Laboratories are where science and
creativity meet to develop, research,
and explore new ideas.
Mozilla Labs embraces this great
tradition - a virtual lab where people
come together to create, experiment,
and play with new Web innovations
and technologies.

Eric von Hippel, Open Innovation’s true superhero

“Users are
increasingly able
to innovate for
themselves.”

Meet the Lead User
“Lead users are users of a product that currently experience needs still unknown to the public and
who also benefit greatly if they obtain a solution to these needs.”
23

ƒ(Lead User) = Super Hero
“Lead user” status strongly correlates with
the value/attractiveness of innovation

Step 1:
Idea
It all begins with an idea. A sentence,
paragraph, or even bullet-points kick-start the
process. Ideas can be simple and non-technical.
It should be easy for anyone and everyone to
help shape the future of the Web. So throw your
notions, inspirations, dreams and visions out to
the community.
33

Step 2:
Mockup
Turn your idea (or someone else’s) into an
image, sketch or video. Words are great, but
you know what they say about pictures.
Mockups offer up a visual and communicate
ideas in terms that are just a bit more polished
and real. They draw the next person in, tempting
them to pick up the concept and run with it.
34

Step 2:
Mockup
Mockups can be anything from a napkin
drawing to a polished Photoshop mockup to a
video.
35

Step 3:
Prototype
A prototype is interactive. Feel, touch and play
with developing concepts. Prototypes get ideas
across by showing off the moving parts. They
aren’t always fully functional or pretty, but
they’re more than a static image or two. They’re
a dress rehearsal of sorts, with minimal
programming. Make a prototype in HTML, Flash,
or whatever puts things into action.
