As the NET Desk concept of linked paper started to evolve, Ryan and I started to utilize more and more sketching to get across quickly to each other what thing might start to look like. In order for us to Rapidly Prototype we started to rapidly sketch ideas until both of us rested on functionality and looks that served both aesthetic function but also interaction. We then moved to building a prototype using quick and simple materials that allowed us to quickly move through ideas using foam core, foam and light sensors we could quickly get to a semi functional desk, which allowed us to understand the usefulness of our actions and user interface up to that point.
