Case Study: Evidence of Prototyping Roles in Conceptual Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this research is to investigate prototype use in conceptual design. In order to begin this line of study, we look first to current practices in industry. A case study involving two companies provides examples of prototype use in the conceptual design phase of their respective product development cycles. Six interviews were conducted at two different companies in order to help understand how prototypes are used by industry during the conceptual design phases of a product development process. This research finds evidence that prototypes are being used successfully in conceptual design, even though typical literature sources advise against it.

متن کاملOP: A Novel Programming Model for Integrated Design and Prototyping of Mixed Objects
In the context of mixed systems that seek to smoothly merge physical and digital worlds, designing and prototyping interaction involves physical and digital aspects of mixed objects. However, even though mixed objects are recurrent in the literature, none of the existing prototyping tools explicitly supports this object level. Moreover, designers have to use distinct tools, on the one hand, too...
