Not too long ago, the outcomes of a design process used to be in the form of a static medium. Today it is increasingly interactions – things that have a behavior. This not only fundamentally changes the design process, but also your life as a designer!

You are increasingly driving nonlinear processes, which are aiming towards a goal, that is not exactly defined at the beginning. The approach to this goal is very iterative through interactive sketches and by working with prototypes. Therefore you use new tools like vvvv and Arduino. And by working with prototypes, you’ll discover answers to questions that you haven’t even asked before.

The book »Prototyping Interfaces« introduces you to the visual programming language vvvv, Arduino, tracking methods and display technologies, in an understandable way. Building on top of that, it opens new dimensions for your creativity, through many practical examples and the endless possibilities of prototyping.
