User Experience Prototypes are a type of prototype that will allow investors and potential customers to look, feel and experience the basic idea functions of your invention or new product. A user experience prototype invites active human interaction and is primarily used to support user focused research. This type of prototype model allows early assessment of how a potential user interacts with various elements, motions, and actions of a concept which define the initial use scenario and overall user experience.

There is a large community of prototype professionals who can help you. No, I’m not referring to those fast talking ads on TV at three in the morning imploring inventors to hand over their inventions to gain fame and fortune. Start by looking as close to home as possible. Even in this high tech world of communication it is still best to talk and show invention ideas and parts person to person. However; if local is not an option find a prototype company that will genuinely focus and listen to your needs and inform you of the requirements needed.

More on Different Types of Prototypes

Form Study Prototype is a type of prototype that will allow designers to explore the basic size, look and feel of a product without simulating the actual function or exact visual appearance of the product. They can help assess ergonomic factors and provide insight into visual aspects of the product’s final form. Form Study Prototypes do not usually represent the intended color, finish, or texture. Due to the materials used, these models are intended for internal decision making and are generally not durable enough or suitable for use for consumer testing.

The form study prototype is a prototype that may be hand-crafted or machine designed or 3D printed. Most are made of inexpensive materials and may not necessarily be representative of texture, finish, or color of the finished product. This type of prototype design is usually created for the purpose of making size, aerodynamics, potential aesthetics and ergonomic decisions about the product.

More on Different Types of Prototypes

Proof-of-Principle Prototype; a proof of concept prototype is used to test some aspect of the intended design without attempting to exactly simulate the visual appearance, choice of materials or intended manufacturing process. Such prototypes can be used to “prove” out a potential design approach such as range of motion, mechanics, sensors, architecture, etc. These types of models are often used to identify which design options will or will not work.

As an inventor or an entrepreneur you have probably come up with some great product ideas. The Proof-of-Concept Prototype allows you to validate to yourself and your investors that the idea actually works and functions as envisioned. This first prototype does not need to be pretty. Normally, it does not bear any resemblance to your final product since the goal is to only prove it functions and not to prove that it looks nice.

Don’t underestimate the important of a Proof-of-Concept Prototype and don’t try to cut corners by skipping the Proof-of-Concept stage and moving forward without having proven to yourself and others that your idea is technically and mechanically feasible.

More on Different Types of Prototypes

Prototype; a first model or sample of a product from which more copies are developed or copied from. Prototypes are usually built as models to test a product concept or process or to act as an example to be replicated or learned from.

Different Types of Prototypes;

Functional Prototype or Working Prototype; (also called functioning prototype) will, to the greatest extent relay the practical attempt to simulate the final design, aesthetics, materials and functionality of the intended design. The functional prototype may be reduced in size (scaled down) in order to reduce costs. The construction of a fully working full-scale prototype is the ultimate test of concept stage and is usually the final check for design flaws and allows last-minute improvements to be made before short-run, large or mass production runs are ordered.

Proof-of-Principle Prototype; is a concept prototype used to test some aspect of the intended design without attempting to exactly simulate the visual appearance, choice of materials or intended manufacturing process. Such prototypes can be used to “prove” out a potential design approach such as range of motion, mechanics, sensors, architecture, etc. These types of models are often used to identify which design options will or will not work.

Form Study Prototype; is a type of prototype will allow designers to explore the basic size, look and feel of a product without simulating the actual function or exact visual appearance of the product.

Due to the materials used, these models are intended for internal decision making and are generally not durable enough or suitable for use for consumer testing.

User Experience Prototype invites active human interaction and is primarily used to support user focused research. While intentionally not addressing possible aesthetic treatments, this type of model does more accurately represent the overall size, proportions, interfaces, and articulation of a promising product concept. This type of model allows early assessment of how a potential user interacts with various elements, motions, and actions of a concept which define the initial use scenario and overall user experience.

Visual Prototype; will capture the intended design aesthetic and simulate the appearance and sometimes color and surface textures of the intended product but will not actually embody the function of the final product. These models may be suitable for use in market research, executive reviews and approval, packaging mock-ups and photo shoots for sales literature.
