Beschreibung
The Wizard of Oz: Mock-ups & prototyping
Der Prozess des Visualisierens und Dokumentierens von Ideen und Projekten ist großer Bestandteil der künstlerisch-gestalterischen Praxis. Thema des Kurses ist es unterschiedliche Methoden und Techniken des Prototypings vorzustellen und diese anhand von praktischen Übungen auszuprobieren. Wie lässt sich auch mit einfachen Mitteln eine Idee überzeugend inszenieren? Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es um ein Konzept vor der Realisierung zu testen? Warum hilft ein Prototyp bei der Findung einer guten Gestaltung? Von einfachen “low cost” Methoden, die zum schnellen Entwickeln von Skizzen gedacht sind, bis hin zu aufwendigen Funktionsprototypen und Simulationen wird die Bandbreite der Möglichkeiten und deren jeweilige Vor- und Nachteile erkundet.
English description
In this class we will explore the variety of prototyping methods and techniques as part of the design process. We will look at very simple “low cost” strategies for finding ideas as well as sophisticated rapid prototyping tools with a hands-on approach.
Anmeldung

1. Sensor Boxes
What is a cardboard box with a single sensor?
- A camera?
- An instrument?
- A toy?
- An antenna?
- A device for a special situation?
- A ... ?
EXERCISE: Think of an application for the sensor box and make a photo documentation which shows your box in a real world scenario...'
2. Generative Stories
- A (person) in (place) needs help doing (activity) because (motivation).
- A (person) in (place) needs help doing (activity) because (motivation) and uses the sensor box to (activity).
EXERCISE: Write two short stories in which your protagonist uses your sensor box in a future world.
3. Idea swapping & mind maps
Collecting all ideas so far and picking one random of somebody else.
EXERCISE: Make a mindmap for that idea.

4. Cultural Probes
What could a cultural probes kit contain?
- questionnaire / diary
- what questions do you ask?
- photo / video / sound / etc…
- what to document? how?
- how much do you tell the user?
EXERCISE: Make a cultural probes experiment with at least 4 participants
5. Video Mock Ups
- Think about a scenario / usecase of your project you would like to visualize as a video mock up.
- Sketch it as a little storyboard and think about how you would make it.
- Make the video mock up!
- Upload it as a YouTube video
