FrameWire: A Tool for Automatically Extracting Interaction Logic from Paper Prototyping Tests (2009)

Paper prototyping offers unique affordances for interface
design. However, due to its spontaneous nature and the
limitations of paper, it is difficult to distill and
communicate a paper prototype design and its user test
findings to a wide audience. To address these issues, we
created FrameWire, a computer-vision-based system that
automatically extracts interaction flows from the video
recording of paper prototype user tests. Based on the
extracted logic, FrameWire offers two distinct benefits for
designers: a structural view of the video recording that
allows a designer or a stakeholder to easily distill and
understand the design concept and user interaction
behaviors, and automatic generation of interactive HTMLbased
prototypes that can be easily tested with a larger
group of users as well as "walked through" by other
stakeholders. The extraction is achieved by automatically
aggregating video frame sequences into an interaction flow
graph based on frame similarities and a designer-guided
clustering process. The results of evaluating FrameWire
with realistic paper prototyping tests show that our
extraction approach is feasible and FrameWire is a
promising tool for enhancing existing prototyping practice.
