🎉 New year, new decade! 🎉

Let’s start off 2020 with the 20 most inspiration interactive prototypes made of the last year handpicked for you. Certainly, they can serve as a source of inspiration for your own interactive prototyping work.

I paid attention to the following 3 factors in particular:

Interactivity: How interactive are the prototypes? What kind of microinteractions are there?
Creativity: How creative and unique are the solutions the designers came up with?
Realism: How realistic do these interactions feel and look and how feasible are they?

The selected 20 most inspirational interactive prototypes, made with ProtoPie, have been listed in random order, split into 3 categories:

📱 Smart Devices
📲 Interconnected Smart Devices
🖥 Web & Desktop

For some of the prototypes, you can even try them out yourself and download the files to see how they were made.

I hope you enjoy this year’s list!

1. Qatar Airways Redesign by Excited

The idea of revamping the search experience by adding voice is something we will keep seeing in 2020, I believe.

A calculator prototype that can actually calculate. When the slider changes its position, the amounts subsequently change as well dynamically based on real-time calculations.

7. Photography App by Mark Dalhoff Jaqué

📲 Interconnected Smart Devices

15. Tic Tac Toe by Eugeny Grebenschikov

Try out on mobile or desktop.

This is one single prototype that’s run on two smart devices that are connected to each other, meaning they can “talk” to each other. There you go, a game of tic tac toe that can be played on 2 devices by 2 players.

16. Phone Call by Jonas Leupe

Phone Call by Jonas Leupe.

These are 2 prototypes communicating with each other wirelessly, mimicking a phone call, that were used on a production set for a Belgian TV show. Awesome!
