Abstract

This paper analyses video recordings of a student-led prototyping session to consider stakeholders’ use of artifacts, a cardboard prototype toaster and a real toaster. Its focus was prompted by an observation that stakeholders treated the toasters very diff erently. Stakeholders handled the real toaster more frequently and for particular interactional value. Unlike the prototype, it could be physical and visible evidence to authenticate actions for design discussion, such as claims, descriptions, and demonstrations. Th e real toaster could be a resource to coordinate with talk relating to actual toaster features, functions, and uses, or to participants’ actual past experiences, or to make suggestions for specific design innovations.
