Good article Fred, I totally agree with the “multidimensional fidelity” concept. We’ve used almost all kinds of combinations, and as you mentioned, they match different requirements. We used to create prototypes for the same product but with different fidelity combinations, it double the workload but it worth it. Recently we discovered a prototyping tool named “ForeUI”, I think its design conception is quite close to the “multidimensional fidelity” concept: it makes prototype skinnable so that we can move in the visual fidelity axis freely; it can export prototype to static image or PDF, and also be able to export as DHTML (which is interactive), thus we can move in the functional fidelity axis as well. We like ForeUI very much since it save our time to create many prototypes for different fidelities.
