  Low vs. high-fidelity prototyping debate
Rudd J., Stern K., Isensee S. interactions 3(1): 76-85, 1996.  Type: Article

Low-fidelity prototypes are rapidly generated and have great advantages in early requirements gathering. In contrast, high-fidelity prototypes have full functionality and give the user a good feel for how the product will operate. They...
