Fidelity

  • In design, fidelity refers to the level of detail and functionality in a design representation, such as a prototype.
  • Low-fidelity designs are more basic and focus on functionality and structure, while high-fidelity designs are more detailed and closely resemble the final product.
  • Different levels of fidelity can be used at different stages of the design process to test and improve the design.
