What is a low resolution prototype?

A low-resolution prototype is a draft, a mockup of an idea, images, sketches, diagrams. It is not precious, something you are attached to, or even pretty.

What are the examples of low-fidelity prototype?

Paper prototyping and clickable wireframes are two popular low-fidelity prototyping techniques. Both techniques are focused on providing the fastest-possible way to iterate design ideas until both the project team and the stakeholders are happy with the basics.

Why use low-fidelity prototype?

Low-fidelity prototypes are helpful in enabling early visualization of alternative design solutions, which helps provoke innovation and improvement. An additional advantage to this approach is that when using rough sketches, users may feel more comfortable suggesting changes.
