What is a low fidelity prototype?

- [Instructor] Low fidelity prototypes are a great way … to quickly lay out interaction designs … and even get user feedback before you start coding. … The less cost you sink into a prototype, … the less concern you'll have about throwing it out … and starting again if you got things wrong, … so it makes sense to build a prototype … with the least investment in visual design, layout, … and glossy content. … That's what I mean by low fidelity. … In a lot of cases, your visual design will be determined … by a design system or brand guidelines anyway. … What's important early in the development process is … to find out whether the general interaction design ideas … you have will work for users. … Prototyping helps you build a complete interface … from your initial design sketches, storyboards, … or scenarios. … The prototype fills in all the intermediate screens … to create an end-to-end task flow. … There are tools that you can use … to build low fidelity prototypes, like Balsamiq … and Mockingbird. …
