What is a “prototype”?
What is a “prototype”?1. the original or model on which

2. Will the game mechanic be intuitive?
How would you prototype to see if the main mechanic in Katamari Damacy was intuitive and toylike?

Ziggurat the iOS game has well-done, intense parallax.
Okay, so why make PHYSICAL prototypes?

This but faster.
How would you physically prototype
PONG?...
“Wizard of Ozing”
PONG = 5 Wizards
Why make PHYSICAL prototypes?
This but faster.
But that’s not all…
Playfully engaging the physical world provides a wealth of game ideas.
When you embodyideas they become
more plastic.?? ?

more real-world inspiration…
HALF of AR is physical!
So the “real-world” can be more than inspiration…

When the virtual dominates, AR loses its
purpose and appeal.
When developingfor AR…
FEEL your own embodiment.
USE the physical world to be super creative &
plastic.
