Prototyping
Media Informatics Advanced Seminar, Winter Term 2009/2010 (bib)

This report provides an overview of current applications and research trends in the field of prototyping. There are application domains where prototyping plays a vital role. They range from traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to ubiquitous computing applications, like tangible or haptic user interfaces and interactive surfaces.
During the winter term 2009/2010, students from the Computer Science Department at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich did research on specific topics related to prototyping and analyzed various publications. This report comprises a selection of papers that resulted from the seminar.
Each chapter presents a survey of current trends, developments, and research with regard to a specific topic. Although the students background is computer science, their work includes interdisciplinary viewpoints such as theories, methods, and findings from interaction design, ergonomics, hardware design and many more. Therefore, the report is targeted at anyone who is interested in the various facets of prototyping.
In addition to this report, there are slides from the students talks available at http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/lehre/ws0910/hs/ .
