User-centered design has long made use of physical, contextual, and functional prototyping techniques. Combining these techniques to generate compound prototypes and situated experience prototypes, or "paratypes," can be particularly useful for mobile and ubiquitous computing applications prior to full-scale development and deployment efforts.

This article is part of a special issue on rapid prototyping.
