This page is a gallery of images of the prototyping process.
Here I developed some physical prototyping skills, something new due my graphic design background. I learned alternative ways to prototype in relation to electronics: molding, scenarios, staging, movies, etc.
Mobile phones shells made of plaster, silicon, biodegradable plastic (Materbi) and ice were made. The main function of these objects, including the half vase (see animation at right) was to test ideas and to communicate the concept.
With these objects I could check the audience reaction, receptivity and evolve the solutions.
