“…Physical prototypes tend to provide a tangible and accessible experience when targeted appropriately (Kent et al, 2021a;Pei et al, 2011), while the flexibility of virtual prototypes provides broad opportunities for interaction, leading to better learning. Mixed reality methods blend these benefits creating supporting high diversity of communication (Bähr and Möller, 2016;Verlinden and Horváth, 2009). Physical methods also provide deeper capacity for scrutinizing that which is not possible with CAD (Hallgrimsson, 2012).…”

“…Feedback Immediacy: As a learning tool within a design episode, the ability of the prototyping method to provide quick feedback to the designer or user supports quick iterative cycles that align with cognitive processes (Bähr and Möller, 2016;Zhang et al, 2019). Sketches, drawings, and other earlystage media often allow such quick cycles (Pei et al, 2011;Ulrich and Eppinger, 2016), while precise and high fidelity approaches increase lead time and lead to lower responsiveness (i.e.…”

“…material) and approaches (type of prototype / way in which it is used) are better suited to different purposes, roles, activities, etc., due to their inherent properties. For example, (Bähr and Möller, 2016;Exner et al, 2016;Liker and Pereira, 2018) all discuss the benefits of virtual or mixed prototyping (combined physical/virtual) over purely physical, including increased flexibility, higher fidelity, and increased potential for automated or advanced analysis. Similarly, Pei (2011) discusses utility across four levels of Visual Design Representation (sketch, drawing, prototype, model making), Stowe (2008) across levels of system scope (amongst several delineations), and Camburn (2017) across many forms of prototyping media in an excellent review of prototyping state of the art.…”

“…Similarly, Pei (2011) discusses utility across four levels of Visual Design Representation (sketch, drawing, prototype, model making), Stowe (2008) across levels of system scope (amongst several delineations), and Camburn (2017) across many forms of prototyping media in an excellent review of prototyping state of the art. Still others have claimed alignment between media and forms of learning (Real et al, 2021), levels of stakeholder accessibility (Isa and Liem, 2014;Verlinden and Horváth, 2009), support of collaboration (Bähr and Möller, 2016;Exner et al, 2016;Verlinden and Horváth, 2009), and model management (Tseng et al, 1997;Zorriassatine et al, 2003). However, while such directionality between the inherent properties of prototyping media and their utility for different design activities is widely accepted, there is to date no clear framing or overview of such properties as a set that would then enable fair comparison between media and approaches.…”

How Should We Prototype? Establishing the Affordances of Prototyping Media and Approaches

The breadth of media and approaches used when prototyping are vast, with each holding inherent properties that vary their suitability for a given prototyping activity.While several have established classifications of types and purposes of prototypes, there is little by way of guidance for designers on how select and strategise prototyping given their activity needs, or how the prototype chosen may influence their process, success or efficiency.This paper presents nine affordances of prototypes derived from literature, together characterising the properties of prototyping media or approaches that affect their suitability across prototyping activities.The affordances are illustrated through application to physical and digital classes of prototypes and four real prototype cases, showing descriptive capability, inherent differences between the media, and enabling direct and consistent comparison.By mapping affordances across many media and approaches, this work enables better method selection to align with activity needs, better description and comparison of media and approaches, and the ability the broadly interrogate and direct future development of prototyping technologies.

Prototypes are useful beyond usability testing; they're a strategic tool to drive alignment, to communicate value and vision, and to get digital products built correctly in a more efficient manner. They help teams move quickly by making instead of swirling in ideas. Through her work at IBM and currently as a Creative Director at the digital product design agency, argodesign, Kathryn Marinaro has found that the best practical uses for prototypes are for qualitative and strategic purposes. In this keynote, Kathryn will share her experience creating and utilizing prototypes to generate ideas with subject matter experts, to understand resonance and value with endusers, to explore new interaction models for emerging technology, and to communicate visions to stakeholders who control the direction of a product. She'll share examples of prototypes used throughout the process of the programs she leads and their outcomes and impact. Prototypes aren't just for testing, they're for delivering value.Kathryn Marinaro is an award-winning Creative Director who envisions the future and develops products and strategies for a wide variety of clients at argodesign. She is the author of Prototyping for Designers, published by O'Reilly, and has employed user-centered methodologies to create and iterate on impactful experiences in health wearables, AI interaction patterns, AI image recognition and training interfaces, and cloud development tools, while working on world-class design teams like IBM Watson Visioneering and IBM Mobile Innovation Lab. She has gained recognition as one of Austin's Top 50 Female UX Designers and as part of the Advisory Board for the inaugural Austin Design Week. She's been featured in articles in Fast
