What is the primary objective of prototyping in HCI?

  1. To create a fully functional product.

  2. To gather user feedback and insights.

  3. To demonstrate the final design to stakeholders.

  4. To validate technical feasibility.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Prototyping in HCI aims to obtain user feedback and insights early in the design process, allowing for iterative refinement and improvement of the user interface.

Which prototyping technique involves creating a low-fidelity, interactive representation of the user interface using paper or cardboard?

  1. Paper prototyping

  2. Wireframing

  3. Rapid prototyping

  4. Interactive prototyping


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Paper prototyping is a low-fidelity prototyping technique where designers create interactive representations of the user interface using paper and basic materials.

What is the main advantage of using wireframes in prototyping?

  1. High level of detail and realism.

  2. Ease of creating interactive prototypes.

  3. Ability to conduct user testing remotely.

  4. Rapid iteration and design exploration.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wireframes are simple, low-fidelity representations that allow for rapid iteration and exploration of different design concepts.

Which prototyping technique is commonly used to create high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that closely resemble the final product?

  1. Storyboarding

  2. Rapid prototyping

  3. Interactive prototyping

  4. Wizard-of-Oz prototyping


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Interactive prototyping involves creating high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that allow users to interact with the interface and provide feedback.

What is the primary purpose of Wizard-of-Oz prototyping?

  1. To evaluate the usability of the user interface.

  3. To demonstrate the final design to stakeholders.

  4. To simulate the behavior of a system that is not yet fully developed.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wizard-of-Oz prototyping is used to simulate the behavior of a system that is not yet fully developed, allowing for user testing and feedback.

Which prototyping technique involves creating a series of static screens or images that represent the flow of the user interface?

  1. Storyboarding

  2. Paper prototyping

  3. Wireframing

  4. Rapid prototyping


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Storyboarding involves creating a series of static screens or images that represent the flow of the user interface, often used in early stages of design.

What is the main benefit of using rapid prototyping in HCI?

  1. High level of detail and realism.

  2. Ease of creating interactive prototypes.

  3. Ability to conduct user testing remotely.
