In our study, we set out to see how low-fidelity three-dimensional paper prototypes could be used to test the usability of two alternative concepts for a drink can refund machine. The tests were carried out in the real environment with the actual users of the product. The tests took place before any software or hardware had been implemented. Using paper prototypes is a quantitative evaluation method which is easy to apply and suitable for product development processes with a tight schedule. We found the 3DPP modeling and testing method turned out to be useful and the results obtained had an influence on the product.
在我们的研究中，我们着手探究低保真三维纸质原型如何用于测试饮料罐退款机的两种替代概念的可用性。测试是在真实环境中与该产品的实际用户一起进行的。测试在任何软件或硬件实施之前进行。使用纸质原型是一种易于应用的定量评估方法，适用于日程安排紧张的产品开发过程。我们发现三维纸质原型建模和测试方法很有用，所获得的结果对产品产生了影响。
