Friction
<p>Recently, I wanted a cup of coffee from a coffee machine. I put my cup roughly where I believed that the coffee would come out, I then pressed the coffee I wanted, and then waited.. and waited.. and waited.. then looked at the panel, and found out that it asked me "Are you sure you want coffee?" .. I clicked yes.. and 40 seconds later I had my coffee. </p> <p>This is an example of poorly placed friction.</p> <p>In this episode we are discussing the 3 categories of Friction</p> <ol> <li>Interaction friction </li> <li>Cognitive friction</li> <li>Emotional friction</li> </ol> <p><br></p> <p>You wil learn what they are, and how to use them</p>

Prototyping
<p>Prototyping is the art of creating early models to test ideas, emotions, and processes. To make it easier we have split it into three main types: </p> <p><br /></p> <ol> <li>Bassive prototypes (like mood boards or soundscapes),</li> <li>Business prototypes (minimum viable products for market testing) </li> <li>Interactive prototypes (hands-on user interactions). </li> </ol> <p><br /></p> <p>On of the main benefits of Prototypes testing, is that you get earyl understanding and you can iterate and refine concepts before committing resources. Overall making the whole thing a bit cheaper to develop.</p> <p>We also talk about seeking truth in feedback, where one easy method is asking what to change and why. </p> <p>Data collected through prototyping becomes valuable only when analyzed and understood. </p> <p>Prototypes save time, validate ideas, and turn creative concepts into polished, functional designs.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>In this episode you will learn</strong></p> <ul> <li>What a prototype is, and what different flavours they come in</li> <li>When and what to use prototypes on</li> <li>How to listen to feedback and understand</li> <li>How to collect and use data</li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p><a href="https://theleanstartup.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The lean startup</a> - Eric Ries (yep, I looked it up :) ) </p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influence_People" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to win friends and influence people</a> - Dale Carnegie</p> <p> </p>
