Rapid video prototyping for connected products
Interaction16 - Workshop - Helsinki

Hello!

3
What we’ll do today
• An introduction to video prototyping (20 min)
• Prototyping time (1h 15min)
• Demos and discussion (25 min)
4
Designing Connected Products
5
“PROTOTYPE”
An experiment designed to answer specific questions.

What are the tech challenges we will face?
Can we actually make this work with the tech we have?
Will it meet the requirements?
Would people use this?
How would it have to work to be desirable?
Should we build this at all?
What would it feel like to use this?

ELECTRONICS PROTOTYPING
Even electronics prototyping platforms can sometimes distract and waste time.
“Uh-oh! I’ve just spend an entire day getting a WiFi
library to work.”

These are NOT video prototypes.

It’s not (just) about the video!
80% (The process) • Rapid iteration and decision making. • Exploration across physical context,
multiple devices, time and space. • Forces you to think in a time-based
sequence of events - a user journey. • Acting out: Empathy with the user. How it
might ‘feel’ like using this.
20% (The video) • It’s self-explanatory and shareable. • Film is a widely understood medium that
is easily digestible. • Less ‘loss in translation’, relies less on
imagination of others. • It lets viewers judge plausibility (they get a
degree of empathy).

Levels of exploration
Value proposition
Context of use
Interaction
“is there value in this idea?”
“where are the key challenges?”
“would using this on public transport be problematic?”
“would this work in a kitchen environment?”
“how would the interface have to work?”
“what is the right gesture for this?”

Levels of exploration

The ‘Stop Trick’ (or ‘Substitution splice’)
Recording
STOP START
• Don’t move the camera.
• Keep the same shot.
• Only move the parts that change.

Things to know about Instagram
• Press and hold to record.
• 15 seconds maximum - keep that in mind.
• Think 5-6 interactions maximum (2 seconds per shot).
• Plan your shots (maybe a quick storyboard).
• Prototype interface: Works best if actor and camera are the same person. (Stop trick technique)
• Split across multiple videos if you want a longer story.
35
• Technology details
• Lack of user insight
• The quality of the idea / ideation
• What question you set out to answer?
• Have you answered it?
• The answer could be ‘it doesn’t work’ but we’ll want to know why.
DON’T GET TOO HUNG UP ON WE’RE INTERESTED IN
