-===The role of the "computer"===
+===Interacting with a Paper-Prototype===
-If you test with paper prototypes you need a "computer" who changes the prototype according to the users interactions. To change the screens, write notes and communicate with the user will not work in one time.
+To make your prototype Interactive you need a "computer" who is familiar with the interface and changes the prototype according to the users interactions. Don't try to do a test alone: To change the screens, write notes and communicate with the user will not work in one time.
-The computer should only react on appropriate input: tapping, dragging etc. with the finger on the screen and text input via writing on the screen via a non-permanent marker.
-the computer should be very familiar with the product and the planned interactions so the screen are changed correctly.
+The users interacts with the paper-prototype by using their fingers like the mouse cursor: If they tap an element this has the results of a mouse click, and the computer changes the interface accordingly. If you have special input modes e.g. right click you can tell the user that this can be told to the computer ("now I right-click") If you need text input you should give the user the possibility for text input via a non-permanent-marker.
+The computer should only react on appropriate input. It does not trigger an action if a user only tells what he likes to do e.g. "I'd trigger the move function" - even if it seems perfectly clear what the user might want to do.
