To watch the video of this meeting, see it on UStream here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1813462 Erik Klimczak of Clarity Consulting talked about rapid prototyping. He focused on three methods: Video - Clarity has used video as a way to quickly show the possibilities with a gesture-based solution. Erik showed us a prototype made during the business development process that involved using a greenscreen overlay on a Microsoft Surface table, with a person gesturing in a planned pattern - the basic screens of the Surface table where then mocked up in the video using Adobe After Effects. This allowed for a quick turnaround of a concept (2-3 days) that demonstrated the natural movement and context of a gestural interface in an engaging way without requiring a full Surface prototype. Microsoft Sketchflow - Erik then showed us how Clarity has been using Sketchflow within the Expression Suite to prototype early concepts in a way that shows movement from screen to screen and interactive elements, in a manner that generates usable code. Leveraging design assets in the final project is a goal in order to save effort and cost, especially if paired with an iterative process to ensure feedback.
