    Study Notes

    Prototyping in Film and Design

    • Alfred Hitchcock used prototyping to refine his movie plots by telling stories at cocktail parties and observing listener reactions.
    • He experimented with different sequences and mechanisms for revealing the storyline, refining the story based on listener reactions.

    Origins of Prototyping

    • The concept of prototyping originates from Scandinavian work activity theory research and practice by Ehn, Kyng, and others.
    • Participatory design work emphasized the need for early and detailed communication about design and participation in understanding requirements.

    Depth and Breadth of a Prototype

    • A prototype provides a fast and easily changed early view of the envisioned interaction design.
    • Prototypes can be less than the real system by focusing on either breadth or depth, or by reducing fidelity of details.

    Horizontal vs. Vertical Prototypes

    • Horizontal prototypes represent the breadth of a system, with a shallow level of realization.
    • Vertical prototypes represent the depth of a system, with a narrow focus on features and functionality.
    • T prototypes combine the advantages of both, offering a balance between breadth and depth.

    Local Prototypes

    • Local prototypes are used to evaluate design alternatives for isolated interaction design issues.
    • They are narrow and shallow, focusing on one design issue and not supporting depth of task flow.

    Characteristics of Prototypes

    • Horizontal prototypes:
      • Broad in features, but offer less depth in functionality.
      • Good for demonstrating product concept and early product overview.
      • Effective for conveying product concept to managers, customers, and users.
      • Do not support complete workflows, and user experience evaluation is less realistic.
    • Vertical prototypes:
      • Contain as much depth of functionality as possible, but only for a narrow breadth of features.
      • Good for testing a limited range of features in detail.
      • Ideal for representing completely the details of an isolated part of an individual interaction workflow.
    • T prototypes:
      • Combine the advantages of horizontal and vertical prototypes.
      • Offer a good compromise for system evaluation.
