Interactive prototypes

Prototypes that validate before you build

Inspir3d, a creative technology studio in Paris, turns your idea into a clickable interactive prototype: an interactive mockup, journeys tested with real users and decisions validated before development. Less risk, more impact.

In short

Interactive prototype: the essentials in 30 seconds

An interactive prototype is a clickable mockup that simulates how a website, an app or a 3D configurator will work before it is built. It lets you test journeys with real users, fix mistakes at lower cost and validate decisions before committing to development. Inspir3d Studio, a creative technology studio based in Paris, delivers it in six steps, from scoping to recommendations for what comes next.

At a glance

Your prototype, step by step

The goals

What we aim to achieve with you

An interactive prototype is not just a nice visual: it is a decision tool. Every prototype serves four goals.

01

Reduce risk

Spot journey, comprehension and usability problems before they become expensive to fix in development.

02

Validate with real users

Have users try concrete journeys and decide from observed behaviour, not assumptions.

03

Align teams

Seeing and handling the product lets management, marketing and developers talk about the same thing.

04

Save time

Build the right version once, with clear specifications drawn from the prototype.

Our method

From idea to tested prototype in six steps

A structured, transparent process: you always know where your prototype stands and what comes next.

01

Scoping & goals

We define the problem to solve, the target users, the priority journeys and the success criteria.

02

Journeys & wireframes

Site map, key screens and flows: we sketch the structure in low fidelity to validate the essentials quickly.

03

Interface design

UI design true to your visual identity: colours, typography, components and screen states.

04

Interactive prototype

Links, transitions, microinteractions and, depending on the project, a 3D configurator or AR experience: a clickable prototype on desktop and mobile.

05

User testing

Users complete concrete scenarios while we observe, measure and collect their feedback.

06

Summary & recommendations

Results are analysed, prioritised and turned into clear decisions and development specifications.

Frequently asked questions

Interactive prototypes: your questions

What is an interactive prototype?

An interactive prototype is a clickable mockup that simulates how a website, an app or a 3D configurator will work before it is built. It lets you test journeys and validate design choices without writing the final code.

What is the difference between a mockup and a prototype?

A mockup is a still image of a screen. A prototype links the screens together with links, transitions and states: you can navigate, click and complete a full scenario, as with the final product.

How long does it take to build a prototype?

It depends on the scope: number of screens, level of detail, 3D or AR content and the scale of testing. We give you a precise timeline after the discovery call.

How much does an interactive prototype cost?

Every project is unique. We provide a tailored quote once we understand your goals, scope and constraints. Book a meeting to discuss it.

How many users do you need to test a prototype?

A handful of users is often enough to spot the main blockers, provided you test early and repeat the test-and-fix cycle. The exact number depends on how diverse your audiences are.

Can you prototype a 3D configurator or an AR experience?

Yes. We design prototypes of immersive experiences to validate usability, the customisation journey and perceived value before committing to full development.
