ABSTRACT
Prototyping is a quick way to incorporate direct feedback from (real) users into a design. A
prototype can be created for the purpose of how it will look, how it will feel, how it will
function, where to get it made, and how to make sure it will turn out the way one wants it.
However, prototyping can also be a very time-and cost-consuming process. It is critical to
have a well-thought-out plan before producing a prototype. This chapter discusses when and
how one should conduct a prototyping activity.
