Experience prototypes are simulations to investigate and
reveal the quality of the experience. Prototypes come in all forms,
shapes and sizes and consist of whatever is appropriate at
a point in time. They can be quick and dirty to obtain feedback
on design intention or highly crafted solutions for in depth
usability evaluation.

Building a prototype to explore and evolve an idea, when put in
the hands of a user can uncover unanticipated issues or needs.
Experience prototypes used in conjunction with narrative
can assist the user in understanding the context in which
an interaction will take place.

Detailing the interactive experience is integral to the development,
iteration and refinement of a design concept. Shaping interface
behaviour through prototypes not only gives a perspective on
how an interaction might look and feel but can also assist
in the communication of design intent to implementation teams.
