What is a prototype?
As in any user test, you'll
need a facilitator and a test
participant, who should be a
potential user of the product.
You'll also need a helper,
someone who knows the use case
well and can provide accurate
information quickly.
Create a prototype
When creating a prototype, you can
identify potential problems, make
adjustments to the design, try different
approaches, and gather feedback and
suggestions from users. This helps reduce
risks, minimize costs, and speed up the
development process by ensuring that the
final product meets the customer's
requirements and expectations.
A prototype is a crucial tool
in the design and development
process of products and
systems, as it allows to
validate ideas, improve
usability and user experience,
and ensure the quality and
success of the final product.
PROTOTYPES
Wizard of Oz method
Prototypes are tangible representations
of design solutions to test hypotheses
and get feedback from users.
It's important to test prototypes
before the final implementation to
identify issues and improve the design
in a cost-effective way.
It is used when the construction of
a technology is expensive or when
one is looking to reduce the
problem space.
Variations include closed
(predefined answers), open (real-
time answers), and hybrid
(combination of predefined and
real-time answers).

how it is represented prototypes' forms

an initial and functional representation of a
product or system created during the design and
development stage. Its main goal is to allow
designers, developers, and users to test and
evaluate concepts, functionalities, interactions,
and visual aspects before mass production.
Prototypes can take on various forms, ranging
from simple sketches and models to interactive
and functional versions that simulate the
behavior of the final product. These can be used
at different stages of the design process, from
conceptualization to implementation, with the aim
of visualizing and refining key aspects of the
product.
