Together, these tools can return physicality to the development process of computer-embedded products.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Keywords:<\/span> Prototyping, Digital prototyping, Macquettes, Paper prototyping, Wizard of Oz, Arduino, Storyboarding, computer-embedded product design, Rig<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This chapter discusses some of the ways in which the physicality of our interactions with the world affects, drives and is exploited in the design process, and in particular how this is embodied in various physical toolkits, design applications and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":192,"menu_order":20,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-226","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","","tg-column-two"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281,"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226\/revisions\/281"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/physicality.org\/TouchIT\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
