Design Your App on Paper, Animate It With Your iPhone Camera
“Our teammates design apps every day, and we’ve tried most of the prototyping solutions out there, but they all seemed too complicated for us,” says Leo Lin, a designer at Woomoo Inc., the Japanese Taiwanese studio that created POP. “With paper you can iterate faster than any other tools. One day, one of our founders looked at these sketchpads and thought, ‘It’s good to have paper prototypes, but they are very difficult to present or share, why don’t we make an app to solve this?’ That was when everything started to make sense: Just draw on paper, take pictures, and make it interactive.”
