Paper Prototype
- spotlight, which tells you where you should be standing to use display correctly
- information to the distance in the map view as well as a time speci?cation which is permanently visible
- QR code functionality and the origin of the rating scale were not explained
- system reset function triggered by the user leaving the ?eld of view of the camera, protecting privacy of
each individual user
- confusion due to the function of the ¡°hot-button¡±

Conclusion
- iterative procedure is essential -> can help to ?x big issues ?rst
- constant feedback during all design phases is central -> novices have a different point of view
- interdisciplinary team is important -> different experts can round off the product
¡°good prototyping can help designing a product according to the
wishes of the targeted users¡±
