This resource focuses on outlining a sample of traditional and modern methods of prototyping.<br \/>\nA developer needs to carefully assess diverse methods or prototyping to pick one that will work best for their project.<\/p>\n<h3>Traditional Methods<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sketches and Diagrams \u2013 This is one of the oldest and most effortless methods of prototyping. It does not rely on advanced artist capabilities, it is reliant on one\u2019s ability<br \/>\nto illustrate their concepts and ideas; so that they not only exist in their mind but are shareable. The beauty of sketching is that you can get the idea down pretty much as<br \/>\nsoon as it hits you without worrying about it vanishing.<\/li>\n<li>Paper prototypes \u2013 Paper models are used as a representation of product or design. It relies on the tangible paper model for usability testing and functions under the<br \/>\nassumption that the user will interact with the paper as she\/he would with a real application.<\/li>\n<li>Clay\/Plasticine prototypes &#8211; Clay\/plasticine has quick capabilities to aid in many creations; it is simple to use and adjust until the desired shape is sculpted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Modern Methods<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Digital prototyping \u2013 One of the most common forms of prototyping and one that is often realistic enough to accurately test the elements of a product or design.<br \/>\nThey are easy to produce and can be built using apps and software. Virtual and Augmented reality software have also been used in the creation of prototypes. This<br \/>\nguide will focus on augmented reality and you\u2019ll be on a journey to explore and discover some AR apps and how to use them.<\/li>\n<li>HTML prototyping \u2013 This method is often used by developers who are confident in their coding abilities and hence limits the number of persons who can use it.<br \/>\nHowever, a prototype can be tested virtually on any device and the user won\u2019t need to run any external software.<\/li>\n<li>3D Printing \u2013 It provides a developer with extreme flexibility in terms of speed and material selection. It allows manufacturing of low to medium performance objects at<br \/>\na low cost but is unsuitable for mass production. It is considered an additive manufacturing method, as material is added until a specific shape is achieved. Depending on the level of accuracy, there are different kinds of 3D printing process available: &#8211; Fused deposition modeling (FDM); Stereo lithography (SLA) and Selective<br \/>\nlaser sintering (SLS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-33","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-preproduction"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33\/revisions\/34"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediar.works\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
