Slides from our hands-on prototyping workshop at O'Reilly Solid conference 2015.

This workshop was about low fidelity and experience prototyping techniques such as enactment, wizard-of-oz and video sketching. Teams tackled briefings and produced video sketches you can find on Instagram at https://instagram.com/explore/tags/solidprototyping/
