Description:

Interaction designers need to conjure experiences quickly, easily, and at high fidelities. At the bleeding edge of this practice, a new breed of prototyping tools is now emerging. By helping us build more quickly they allow for radically new workflows to tackle the gnarliest problems in digital design.

In this webcast we'll survey the landscape of these new tools, with special emphasis on InVision and Framer Studio.

Participants will learn:

• How to talk about the pivotal role of prototyping in digital design
• A strong conceptual model for understanding the current landscape of prototyping tools
• The main features and value of several leading prototyping tools, alongside successful projects to which they've been applied
