在设计数字交互系统时，有一种成熟的早期原型设计文化，例如纸上原型和线框方法。设计物理对象的文化有些不同：早期的形式探索仍然是通过2D草图或渲染进行原型设计，但是-主要是因为涉及的施工工作-实际物理对象的原型设计被推迟到后期阶段。在设计混合的物理-数字系统时会出现一个问题，例如交互式表面上的有形用户界面（TUI）：高度的交互性意味着早期原型设计至关重要，但在低保真（low-fi）水平上同时对物理和数字方面进行原型设计并没有可行的过程。我们的解决方案是Paperbox，这是一个工具包，用于探索在交互式表面上进行有形交互的设计思想。我们观察了我们的工具包在各种环境中的使用情况：初级设计师的头脑风暴工具;高级设计师在大型工业公司的消费电子产品开发中;以及在一项可用性研究中比较不同保真度水平对结果的影响。吸取的经验教训将使其他国家能够复制和推广我们的做法。
There is a well-established culture of early prototyping when designing digital interactive systems, such as paper prototyping and wireframe methods. The culture of designing physical objects is somewhat different: early explorations of form is still prototyped via 2D sketches or renderings, but - mostly because of the construction effort involved - prototyping of actual physical objects is deferred to later stages. A problem occurs when designing mixed physical-digital systems, such as tangible user interfaces (TUIs) on interactive surfaces: the high degree of interactivity means that early prototyping is vital, yet there is no viable process for prototyping both the physical and digital aspects simultaneously on a low-fidelity (low-fi) level. Our solution is Paperbox , a toolkit for exploring design ideas for tangible interaction on interactive surfaces. It supports the early exploration of different form factors and immediately provides digital interactivity for the low-fidelity TUI prototypes built with it. We observed our toolkit in use in various settings: as a brainstorming tool by junior designers; in the development of a consumer electronics product in a large industrial company by senior designers; and in a usability study comparing the effect of different levels of fidelity on the outcome. The lessons learnt will enable others to replicate and extend our approach.
