Prototyping Accelerates Interaction Validation

Prioritizing prototyping early in the design process enhances the validation of interactions, especially when such interactions are central to solving a problem. Building rough prototypes allows designers to test ideas swiftly, providing immediate feedback on whether choices make sense or require adjustment. This method proves to be more efficient than relying on static mockups, as it enables designers to immediately assess the effectiveness of interactions and make informed decisions on further development. As a project progresses, fine-tuning interactions, such as adjusting animation spring values, becomes the focus, shifting from broad validation to detailed refinement.
