Prototyping Techniques
■ The level of "fidelity" of a prototype refers to how closely it resembles the final product
6
Low Fidelity Prototyping
■ Storyboards
■ Sketching
■ Card Based
7
Story Boarding

Storyboard
9
Story boards should convey
■ Setting
– People involved
– Environment
– Task being accomplished
■ Sequence
– What steps are involved?
– What leads someone to use the app?
– What task is being illustrated?
■ Satisfaction
– What’s motivates people to use this system?
– What does it enable people to accomplish?
– What need does the system fill?
10
Storyboarding
■ …should be quick.
■ Should set strict time limit on yourself (Around 10 mins)
11
Benefits of Storyboarding
12
Sketching and Card Based prototypes
■ After you have gotten a clear idea about what your application should accomplish you
can start thinking about how you will accomplish that.
13
14
Remember to try out
multiple alternative
prototypes
simultaneously
15
Strengths of Paper prototypes
■ Anyone can do it.. You can involve users by asking them to make any changes they
want
■ It helps you to focus on what's important early on, without going into details such as
color schemes and fonts

Presentation and Critique
■ Presentation and critique is arguably the most important part of prototyping process
■ This is where we focus on quality
■ The goal is to find the best ideas
– You present the strengths of your concept, and your peers highlight areas that need
work or further clarification
■ That’s it—discuss, evaluate, and move on

Making a Wizard-Powered Prototype
27
Wizards can be used throughout the
development
■ They can be used with low fidelity as well as high fidelity
