    The document discusses low fidelity and high fidelity prototypes. Low fidelity prototypes like paper mockups or sketches are quick to create and allow evaluating multiple design concepts early on. However, they have limitations for usability testing. High fidelity prototypes are interactive and simulate real functionality better, making them suitable for testing look, feel and user experience, but they take more time to create. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the project needs.

    Prototyping
    A prototype is a working model built to develop and test design ideas. In web and software interface
    design, prototypes can be used to examine content, aesthetics, and interaction techniques from the
    perspectives of designers, clients, and users.
    The main purpose of prototyping is to involve the users in testing design ideas and get their feedback in
    the early stage of development, thus to reduce the time and cost. It provides an efficient and effective
    way to refine and optimize interfaces through discussion, exploration, testing and iterative revision.

    Fidelity:

    Refers to the level of detail, accuracy or coverage of a prototype. It can relate to functionality but most
    people use the term in relation to visual appearance.

    Low fidelity Prototype and High fidelity Prototype.

    Low-fidelity prototypes

    Low-fidelity prototyping is mainly about paper-based mock-up.

    Low-fidelity prototypes are very quick hand sketches while the highest are fully detailed, pixel perfect
    renditions. They are built mostly to design alternatives or screen layouts. Typical examples of low-
    fidelity prototypes include storyboards, drawings, paper mockups etc.

    Low-fidelity prototypes are quickly constructed to design alternatives, and screen layouts, rather than to
    model the user interaction with a system

    Examples

    Paper Prototyping

    Balsamiq Mockups & iMockups

    Advantages of Low Fidelity:

    1. Less time and lower cost.

    2. Evaluate multiple design concepts.

    3. Useful communication device.

    4. Address screen layout issues.

    Disadvantages of Low Fidelity:

    1. Limited usefulness for usability testing


    2. Navigational and flow limitations.

    3. Facilitator divisions.

    4. Poor detailed specification.

    High fidelity prototypes

    High-fidelity is mainly about computer-based simulation. High fidelity prototypes offer more realistic
    interactions and are better at conveying the range of design possibilities. High fidelity prototyping,
    however, may make designers reluctant to change designs and less likely to fully explore the design
    space.

    High fidelity prototypes are typically fully interactive, represents the products core functionality and
    are often built with prototyping systems. They are used mostly for exploration and tests of the look and
    feel of the final product. A high fidelity prototype helps keep the focus of the team on the user
    experience.

    High-fidelity prototypes are fully interactive, simulating much of the functionality in the final product.
    Users can operate on the prototype, or even perform some real tasks with it.

    High-Fidelity Prototyping

    Axure Pro 6

    Microsoft Expression BlendUI Prototyping Tool

    Advantages of High Fidelity:

    1. Partial/ complete functionality interactive.

    2. User driven.

    3. Clearly defines navigational schemas.

    4. Use for exploration and test.

    5. Marketing and sales tool.

    Disadvantages of High Fidelity:


    1. Time consuming to create

    2. Inefficient for proof-of-concept designs.

    3. Managements may think it is real.
