High Fidelity Prototype Assignment

Last week, your job was to design a new security system for entry to the valut. Remember, the clip above shows the current security protocol: a keypad entry, retina scan, and double ID card scan.

This week, you should build a high fidelity prototype. The sensors don't have to really work, but it should *feel* real to a user who is testing it. Make them look real and operate as close to real feeling as you can get them. Remember, you can be a sort of Wizard of Oz, moving along the functionality as someone uses it.

Bring your prototype to class next week. You will demo it in class and offer feedback to each other. I will also evaluate your prototypes. As with the low fidelity version, your prototype should have the following:

  • All aspects of the functionality - what happens if I fail to authenticate at any step? What happens in the process? Can I try again? Do I start over entirely? Include every screen, prompt, window, menu, etc.
  • All interface elements, including scanners, buttons, keypads, etc. mocked up.
  • You are able to walk a user through the authentication process in your prototype smoothly and efficiently (i.e. practice!).
