Hi Oliver, I've never tried to prototype a voice driven UI, but I'd imagine you could build a wizard of oz prototype. Make it appear to respond to voice by hooking up a bluetooth keyboard to control the interface from a distance. Just listen to their voice commands and trigger the appropriate responses, essentially substituting your brain for the voice recognition software.
For prototyping motion detection, you might consider leveraging a Wii controller. I've experimented with this and it's not too dificult to sync a Wii controller with a computer, capture simple gestures and use them to trigger interface responses. You just have to hide the Wii controller inside whatever you're building. So while this woudn't work to prototype something small, it'd work for anything bigger than a Wii controller. Or... if you're prototyping somthing tiny, you could go the wizard of oz route by simply holding the Wii controller yourself and mimicing whatever gestures the user executes. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
