Abstract

In this paper we explore a suitable prototyping technique and approach for an experience-oriented design process without the need for rich equipped labs and resources. The key solution lies in 'mixed-fidelity' prototypes with interaction-enabled 'front-ends' and simple 'back-ends'. We illustrate and validate this approach mainly with a student project done by the authors dealing with environmental aware mobile information.
