1. Practical information
Updates on the website
Additional material on UX
Evaluation criteria

2. Prototyping techniques- An overview
María Menéndez Blanco

3. User Centered Design (UCD) process

4. Overview From user research to conceptual design
From conceptual design to prototyping
Physical and digital prototypes
Kinds of prototypes
Low fidelity prototypes
High fidelity prototypes

5. Low fidelity prototypes
Quick and dirty digital/physical proofs of concept
Communication device
Limited set of functionalities
Explore different concepts

6. Storyboards Sketches that show how the system works Based on scenarios
Informal narrative descriptions
Do not necessarily include the system
Quick and dirty
Paper-based
Digital storytelling tools (iComic, storyboardthat.com)

9. Index cards Easy way to prototype interaction
Mainly for digital designs (apps, websites)
One card is one screen or task

11. Wizard of Oz Method to prototype software-based systems
Interaction is “faked” by a person

12. Physical prototyping

14. Physical prototyping

15. Video prototyping Illustrate how people will interact with a system
Prototype complex interactions
Might embed other kind of prototypes within the video (e.g. storyboard, physical prototyping, Wizard of Oz)

16. High fidelity prototype
Interactive prototypes
Close to the final product
Complete functionality
But:
Inefficient for proofs of concept
Expensive to develop
Time consuming

17. For this module Conceptual Design Describe the design process:
Video prototype your concept
Describe the design process:
What is your domain?
What are the assumptions/existing conditions?
How do you propose challenging these assumptions?
