Paper prototyping
The document outlines a two-day paper prototyping workshop that includes activities such as introducing paper prototyping techniques, initial prototyping, further prototyping and refinement, and a final prototyping showcase. On the first day, participants will learn about paper prototyping and do initial prototyping activities. They will then further develop their prototypes and draft evaluation protocols. The second day involves additional prototyping, sharing ideas in short sessions, and refining prototypes through evaluation, culminating in a final showcase of results.

- 4. Prototyping • Prototyping isan interaction design approach used by designers to acquire feedback from users about future designs – While simple, paper prototyping can provide a great deal of useful feedback which will result in the design of better products
- 5. Explorative prototyping • Explorativeprototyping is used to explore system requirements in cooperation with users – I can be seen as a communication facilitator designers, developers and users
- 6. Experimental prototyping • Experimentalprototyping aims to assess whether the planned system will be adequate and acceptable when finished – Experimental prototypes can be used as requirements specification
- 7. Evolutionary prototyping • Andprototyping can also be evolutionary in nature – This is the case when a design evolves through multiple generations succeeding each other – In this case, each prototype is an early version of a product or service that is further worked upon until the prototype has evolved into a final solution
- 8. Prototypes • Prototypes maybe horizontal or vertical – Horizontal prototypes cover a very broad range of the intended future features, but only very little of the actual functionality of the features is addressed – Vertical prototypes address fewer features but, on the other hand, these are almost fully described.
- 9. Prototypes • Prototypes serveseveral purposes… – They incite and facilitate experimentation as they are inexpensive to alter • As they focus on content and functionality and turn attention away from details of graphic design
- 10. Prototypes • Prototypes serveseveral purposes… – They incite criticism from users because they are perceived as being low-cost and low-fidelity • If a user is presented with an early version of a product or service that has required substantial work, she or he is likely to be more reluctant (as well as able) to criticize it
- 11. Prototypes • Prototypes serveseveral purposes… – They have the advantage of ‘grounding’ the discussion during a stakeholder session, making the sure the session does not get too much off track
- 12.
- 13. Prototypes • The questionnow should be… – How do we go about it?
- 14. Prototyping process • You… –Follow design patterns – Create a prototype for each (set of) user stories • Starting by sketching and structuring and eventually ending with a paper mockup of the envisioned product or service frontend – You iterate the prototype and the user stories • There is an interplay between both so its only expectable that they will co-evolve

- 18. Prototyping user stories •Well… you start with your user story and end up with something like this:
- 19. Prototyping user stories •Early prototypes normally evolve through a sketching and structuring iterative process – Sketching is normally based on existing design patterns, unless there is an unusual problem to be addressed or a novel solution with potential added value – Structuring normally follows state transition diagrams principles, which allows clear validation of the underlying user stories
- 20. Prototyping user stories •Early prototypes normally evolve through a sketching and structuring iterative process
- 21. Mature paper prototypes •Mature paper prototypes usually let go of the state transition diagram and become fully actionable paper prototypes – Of course, in this case the processor is the person animating the prootype
- 22.
- 23. Mature paper prototypes •For demonstration purposes, mature paper prototypes can also be animated using stop motion animation
- 24.
- 25. However… • This onlymakes sense if you have progressed from your idea’s personas into scenarios and user stories – Most likely you have actually address all this in previous activities but under different names or even implicitly • My recommendation is that you reframe what you have under this heading to better start this interaction design process
- 26. However… • This onlymakes sense if you have progressed from your idea’s personas into scenarios and user stories – If this is not so clear for you, please bear with me for a little longer
- 27. Personas • These arebase on observation, interviews, research • They can be primary, secondary, etc… • Personas support design decisions – But should not entirely replace real users
- 28.
- 29. Scenarios • Scenarios describethe context of the interaction between the personas and the envisioned product or service – These consist of goals, expectations, actions and reactions – They aim to reflect the real context and usage
- 30.
- 31. User stories • Userstories are written sequences of actions and events leading to an outcome – Good user stories are standalone, short and testable – They bring users, designers and developers together – Users stories are a powerful way to reflect upon user needs
- 32. User stories • Gomore or less like this… – As a <ROLE>, I want to <DO SOMETHING> so that I could <GET SOMETHING> • User stories: – Describe one specific need – Are not to detailed – Are testable
