In this study, students at a large Mid-Atlantic university were taught three prototyping lensesbased on the PFX methodology: (1) Prototyping for Viability, (2) Prototyping for Feasibility, and(3) Prototyping for Desirability. This paper presents preliminary findings on the relationshipbetween these three prototyping lenses and students’ prototyping awareness, which we define asstudents’ ability to identify their mental models during the prototyping process. We useprototyping awareness as a proxy to measure adoption and implementation of PFX methods.
