High-fidelity prototypes

High-fidelity prototypes

  • Content has a more accurate look and feel to the final product
  • Like an artist or designer's composition: rich in detail with all its attributes
  • High-fidelity intended to create an try out the contents of a user interface, e.g. information design, visual design, interaction design
  • To test the content with end users; get direct feedback, etc.
  • High-cost, so used to refine the product rather than big changes

Advantages & Disadvantages High-Fidelity

Advantages 

  • High-fidelity prototypes offer more realistic interactions than low-fidelity.
  • Better at conveying the range of design possibilities.
  • User-driven.

Disadvantages

  • High-fidelity prototyping may make designers reluctant to change designs and less likely to fully explore the design space. 
  • † Take a long to build and requires skill. 
  • † Reviewers and testers tend to comment on surface aspects rather than content.
