Designing interactive prototypes involves multiple tools and skills. In addition, several design cycles are required to iterate through idea generation, evaluation of design alternatives, and development. Consequently, prototyping tools should offer flexibility and adaptability to allow designers to quickly test and evaluate different ideas, design...

... we consider it worth noting that even the browser itself can be used as an actuator in some way. In fact, a browser can be used to display text, emit sounds, mimic the behavior of an intelligent object (such as an RGB lamp, see Figure 10 below), and much more. However, in this case, the knowledge of JavaScript is essential to be able to mimic all the desired behaviors. ...

Each workshop teams has been provided with a table and prearranged materials and components to let them build the prototypes: a phone handset was placed on each table for developing the first prototype ( Figure 11); a panel simulating a door along with an umbrella and the related stand for developing the second prototype ( Figure 12); a fan heater with a small-scale model of a window for developing the third prototype ( Figure 13); and corkboards, caps and coloured paper strips for designing the tangible interface for controlling a light ( Figure 14). ...

The aim of this study is to make the best technology decision for an enterprise in the automotive sector that plans to purchase a 3D printer for the purpose of obtaining rapid product prototypes. The study includes seven criteria as accuracy, complex design, surface quality, ease of use, throughput, material cost, and equipment cost, and three alternative technologies as fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), and stereolithography (SLA). The weighting of the criteria has been carried out by three experts in the product development department, and the evaluation of alternatives has been carried out by a team of 3D printer manufacturers. The spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (SF-AHP) method is applied in the study. It’s considered important for making the right technology decision in product development processes since this study seeks a solution to a real problem. As a result of the study, while the accuracy criterion is the highest priority, the ease of use of the selected printer is the least priority criterion. On the other hand, SLA 3D printer technology has been seen as the most ideal technology in terms of many criteria for prototyping automotive plastic material parts.
