12.1: Paper Prototyping as a Core Tool in the Design of Cell Phone User Interfaces
Overview
Paper prototyping is increasingly being used by cell phone companies as a core part of their design process. This approach is replacing the old adage of ‘throwing the technology at users to see if it sticks.’ There is much competition in the cell phone industry demanding ever more new concepts. Mobile devices are feature rich. They now include mega-pixel cameras, music players, media galleries, and downloaded applications and more. This requires designing complex interactions, but ones which are clear to learn and use. Paper prototyping offers a rapid way to work through every detail of the interaction design across multiple applications.
Cell phone projects involve a range of disciplines-all with their own viewpoint on what the product should be. A typical project may include programmers, project managers, marketing experts, commercial managers, handset manufacturers, user experience specialists, visual designers, content managers, and network specialists. Paper prototyping provides a vehicle for everyone involved to be part of the design process-considering the design from multiple angles in a collaborative way.
This case study describes the benefits of using paper prototyping from a designers’ viewpoint while considering the bigger picture of its impact across the entire project lifecycle. It starts by explaining the problem space and how paper prototyping is used as an integrated part of UI design projects for European and US-based mobile operator companies. It uses project examples to illustrate the approach and explains step-by-step how the method can be used to include a range of stakeholders in the design process-regardless of their skill set or background. The case study offers exercises so you can experiment with the approach yourself.
Usability Business Case Study :
The assignment requires a 4–6page review, not including cover page, abstract, and a reference page, of the business use case you have been assigned.
Answer the following questions:
· Summarize the case study
· Identify the study method used and why it was appropriate
· Explore some of the qualitative or quantitative methods gathered.
· Answer these two additional questions:
· How would you conduct the study any differently?
· Given the nature in the advance of technology, how do you foresee technology
changing the way studies such as these are conducted in the future?

12.1: The Use of Paper Prototyping in the Design of Cell Phone User Interfaces
Overview
Cell phone firms are increasingly using paper prototyping into their design process. This method has supplanted the previous adage of “throwing technology at users and seeing what sticks.” The cell phone market is very competitive, necessitating the development of new concepts on a regular basis. Mobile phones have a lot of features. They now include mega-pixel cameras, music players, media galleries, and downloaded applications and more. This requires designing complex interactions, but ones which are clear to learn and use. Paper prototyping offers a rapid way to work through every detail of the interaction design across multiple
