Power of Prototyping
summary
Prototyping claims to cut validation from months to days or even hours by choosing the right fidelity and tradeoffs: paper sketches for quick interaction checks, Figma/Framer/Protopie or coded prototypes for interactive feel, and concrete examples—one-day head‑mounted HUD for Google Glass questions, a founder’s Dropbox python script that proved demand, an iPhone case workaround that exposed Antennagate, a private API webview on Apple Watch for designer testing, and a handwriting proxy that lets a brain‑interface demo work for anyone.
