Perhaps I am in the minority here but I think it is really important
to have models to show people. Architects have done this for years,
showing building concepts as foamcore models so people who are not
adept at reading blueprints can see the concept clearly from many
angles.

To say that a prototype=code and is the domain of the developer, to
me, is to construct a rather narrow definition of the term.

If the result of that narrowness is for interaction designers to say
that they only deliver on paper, I think our ability to communicate
will be reduced. And perhaps, so will the quality of our thinking,
since sketches are often less detailed than models.

I have always found it useful to show people models of my designs.
And if I can get the models to show state, all the better.

Perhaps we should not call these models prototypes but neither, in my
opinion, should we ignore them
