Apraksts
A Lo-fidelity Prototype (or mock-up) is a scale or full-size model or replica of a technology or a product/service providing mainly information on its structure, used for instructional or experimental purposes. They are 'very early prototypes' made of cardboard or otherwise low-fidelity materials. For designers, they mainly function to acquire feedback.
Note that the terms "mock-ups", "low-fidelity prototypes", or "paper prototypes" are usually used as synonyms. See “Wireframes” to define the information hierarchy of a visual interface.
