When to use

When you have collected enough data to understand a problem and need to let people unfamiliar with the problem empathise with it.

Why you should

Sometimes stakeholders need to see the situation differently.

What you get

A prototype that can be used to let people understand the problem.

Steps to take

1

Analyse data that the team has gathered.

2

Do a brainstorm on how to make people that are completely unfamiliar with the topic, quickly understand and empathise with the problem.

3

Develop a quick prototype of a physical experience and test it within your own team.

4

Collect feedback, and use what you have learned to refine the prototype you have created. Does it make people empathise with the problem?

5

Iterate on the prototype until it achieves your goal.

6

Present the prototype to your audience.

7

Record videos, take photos and analyse the data to gather insights.
