We present a tabletop-based system that supports rapid paper-based prototyping for mobile applications. Our system combines the possibility of manually sketching interface screens on paper with the ability to define dynamic interface behavior through actions on the tabletop. This not only allows designers to digitize interface sketches for paper prototypes, but also enables the generation of prototype applications able to run on target devices. By making physical and virtual interface sketches interchangeable, our system greatly enhances and speeds up the development of mobile applications early in the interface design process.
