What is the difference between low fidelity prototypes and high fidelity prototypes?


Answer: Low fidelity prototypes are quick hand drawn screens using markers, post-it notes, post cards, and/or cut out images to represent the screens of the system.  Simple mockup sketch of the target product.
High fidelity prototypes are screens created using a tool to design the screens.  These screens look and mimic the behavior of the future screens of the system.  An example of a tool is visual basic with the use of hide and show. Detailed mockup resembling and behaving close to the final product.
