Google and Apple seem particularly well-situated to win early mobile VR (assuming there is indeed something to win), but with Apple concurrently buried in R&D efforts on multiple prototypes of AR and VR headsets, it does not appear that smartphone VR (as we perceive it now) is in its immediate product roadmap.
It would be even cooler if multiple musicians used multiple prototypes to make a synchronized, acupuncture symphony out of this innovation.
In some ways, the approach that Valberg advocates, where companies run tests on multiple prototypes before writing a single line of code, runs counter to a current branch of Silicon Valley wisdom, which calls for startups to release a real product to at least a limited group of users as quickly as people.
During the next year, while working on multiple prototypes, I found myself in and out of the hospital battling infections, seven surgeries, and four months of hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
But some of the very people who designed those exhibits — and who were known for building multiple prototypes and refining them based on visitors' reactions — are the ones who have been told they will not have a job in three weeks.
Opportunities come into play in a variety of industries; a prosthetic match, for example, can be created for an existing limb by using digital design, cutting down on multiple prototyping steps.
We prototyped multiple features, settling on six that were technically feasible, yielded useful data and resonated with our pilot users (see table 1).
We employed multiple paper-prototypes to gather user feedback on the preliminary design.
It based the prototype on its Silver Ghost model.
A PlayStation 3 (PS3) version was released by Prototype on April 21 , 2011
