Rapid Prototype
February 3, 2010
Today in major studio we needed to create a rapid prototype of a Bifocal Display. With the time constraint of 30 minutes, we were to build this prototype based off a prototype created over a decade ago. This prototype is used to show the potential with which computers might be able to create “zoomable” previews of files and documents. Obviously, this technology already exists, introduced most popularly with Apple’s Leopard OS.
So with 30 minutes, some foam board, tape, scissors, an exacto knife, newspaper and some chopsticks……Phill and I made this:

This process was really meant to show us the ways in which prototyping is highly beneficial to the design process. It is quick, low cost, and allows you the freedom to create many many iterations. All in all, this assignment was very fun!
