TEST2 _readings_prototype Flashcards
What are prototypes
To think and communicate about design rather than looking for attributes about the prototype.prototype provides the means for examining design and evaluating solutions.
Focus of prototype
New functionality-wht the new Rola and what feature are supported
Existing role novel way for functionality-how the artifact will look and feel
Functionality based on new technique-how to implement design
Audience of prototype
Intended users
Design teams- show prototype to users for fedback
Other orgs
Key aspect of prototype
What aspect of prototype correspond to eventual artifact and what dont
Types of prototype
Industrial designer- foam model
Interaction designer-simulation
Programmers-test program
User studies - story board
Finish of a prototype
Resolution - amount of detail
Fidelity- closeness to eventual design
Artifact
System being designed
Prototype
Representation of a design idea
Designer
Who created prototype to design
Model
Role -questions about the function
Look and feel- the sensory experience
Implementation-techniques and components through which an artifact performs it’s function
Role prototyoe
Primarily built to investigate Q’s about the artifacts role for user functionality
Look and feel prototype
Econcrere experience of an artifact
Does not investigate functionality as much
Implementation prototype
Answer technical question how the artifact will be made to work
Integration prototypes
Complete user experience of an artifact Amma’s role look and feel and implementation
Precision
Relevance of details with respect to the purpose of the prototype
