What is a Prototype?

• A prototype is a sample or a model of a product built in order to test and evaluate a concept or process.
• A prototype for a virtual product can be built by showing the main screens and interactions of the product or a feature within the product.
• It is preferable that the prototype will allow the user to interact with it in order to truly understand the various interactions.
• A prototype can be built either as low fidelity (have only the minimum visual details to help users understand the idea) or high fidelity (have rich and detailed UI elements and present how the user might interact with the final design).
