Abstract
This paper examines how the fidelity concept is used by the HCI community to categorize prototypes. Two fidelity categories are generally used when categorizing prototypes: low-fidelity and high-fidelity. The detailed description of these categories by (1996) is used to represent the HCI community’s view of fidelity as it is often referred to by the HCI community (see for example Preece et al., 2002).
