yes i know ummm the daughter of friends of mine who's in who i think is just about this week about to leave moly she's been there for a couple of years bryn mawr graduate
414.94
speaker1
402.78
session_98e0a9c3
i know ummm
404.74
speaker2
403.33
session_98e0a9c3
yeah
407.04
speaker2
406.28
session_98e0a9c3
and she had a good experience
414.94
speaker2
413.13
session_98e0a9c3
i think it's been mixed i think that she's it's been good that she's gone i i think it's very strange to send a girl with no agricultural experience into an agricultural environment and ask her to do something with no guidance she was able to raise money from family and friends and get something going with a marketing scheme
438.44
speaker1
415.73
session_98e0a9c3
and maybe it has some results i mean what what i know the results will be is that she is
445.34
speaker1
439.38
session_98e0a9c3
ummm exposed to africa committed to the people she knew there and that will be life that's extremely valuable
453.29
speaker1
446.23
session_98e0a9c3
as to what happens from her work there god only knows i mean what i did in uganda is gone completely i mean
461.54
speaker1
454.28
session_98e0a9c3
like
461.09
speaker2
460.38
session_98e0a9c3
but it changed me
465.39
speaker1
463.78
session_98e0a9c3
so
467.29
speaker1
466.28
session_98e0a9c3
oh i i asked because i'm considering applying
471.49
speaker2
468.08
session_98e0a9c3
well i don't want to discourage you i think it's ummm
473.79
speaker1
470.73
session_98e0a9c3
i think at the time i was doing it i was over there i didn't want to work for the us government
480.14
speaker1
474.48
session_98e0a9c3
because at that time the us government was uhhh
486.19
speaker1
482.28
session_98e0a9c3
in vietnam and for reasons that i could not fathom even though my brother had been there
492.69
speaker1
486.83
session_98e0a9c3
and i just didn't want to be part of it
495.94
speaker1
493.38
session_98e0a9c3
there was some consideration that the peace corps was a cover for you know agents who knows i mean how could it not be on one level ummm but on another level i think most people were there quite honestly doing their work
515.54
speaker1
499.48
session_98e0a9c3
and i'm not really conversant with how the peace corps is being run right now
522.29
speaker1
517.98
session_98e0a9c3
i don't know what their goals are i hope they're good ones but i think i support it in terms of having young well americans because they also have older people going people having a way to live in such countries and to learn about them and bring that knowledge back and that commitment back so that's valuable
544.79
speaker1
523.48
session_98e0a9c3
hmmm
543.74
speaker2
542.23
session_98e0a9c3
oh
546.04
speaker2
545.23
session_98e0a9c3
so
549.94
speaker1
549.33
session_98e0a9c3
yeah i i do
554.14
speaker2
551.33
session_98e0a9c3
where would you like to go if you planed
556.24
speaker1
553.28
session_98e0a9c3
ummm a spanish speaking country a little bit but if i went i would
562.24
speaker2
555.38
session_98e0a9c3
you speak spanish oh good why not after you were there you could speak it very well
564.94
speaker1
557.58
session_98e0a9c3
yeah ummm i've spent time in the andies so that would uhhh that's an obvious place for me to think about in peru and in bolivia i can't say that my time there was well spent but ummm but i've had some exposure and i think i would be able to that might be better
586.54
speaker2
563.93
session_98e0a9c3
hmmm
568.69
speaker1
568.03
session_98e0a9c3
in ecuador or peru
573.89
speaker1
572.23
session_98e0a9c3
place to go in terms of just being prepared
592.54
speaker2
588.08
session_98e0a9c3
well it would be intelligent for them to send you there but i think in one sense from what i've heard and i'm this is not gospel it's sort of like the military you know they they promise you and then lo and behold here you are in taiwan or something you know but you know sometimes good things come from that
611.49
speaker1
591.68
session_98e0a9c3
thanks
595.69
speaker2
594.93
session_98e0a9c3
yeah
611.49
speaker2
610.73
session_98e0a9c3
ummm but i've i've heard that they work with you a little bit to the extent that if you say i want to learn spanish they won't send you to a french speaking country which is nice yeah
623.99
speaker2
612.98
session_98e0a9c3
ummm
613.79
speaker1
612.98
session_98e0a9c3
well okay i hope that makes sense and there's certainly enough spanish speaking countries nearby that they could find something for you to do
629.29
speaker1
620.88
session_98e0a9c3
yeah
629.29
speaker2
628.43
session_98e0a9c3
and
631.04
speaker2
629.98
session_98e0a9c3
i think yeah but the thing that i'm i'm thinking about is two related to the sponsorship by the us government and whether or not i would prefer to sort of
643.54
speaker2
633.83
session_98e0a9c3
come up with my own project i mean they fund you but
647.54
speaker2
644.48
session_98e0a9c3
should i i'm thinking maybe i should just apply for a full bright or something apply for a full bright instead of a peace corps
658.69
speaker2
648.23
session_98e0a9c3
maybe you should do what
654.39
speaker1
652.73
session_98e0a9c3
ummm that could be interesting too uhhh although i think the fulbright really is for study rather than action isn't it i'm not sure
666.04
speaker1
656.43
session_98e0a9c3
yeah me neither
667.59
speaker2
665.43
session_98e0a9c3
ummm but those are good questions ummm
669.99
speaker1
666.98
session_98e0a9c3
do you want to do something or do you want to learn something i mean which
675.69
speaker1
671.23
session_98e0a9c3
well i think i think if if i did apply to the peace corps it would be sort of in their education branch branch and i know that fullbright has i think specific scholarship or ummm funds for people to go and i imagine teach english but maybe that's not what i want to do
692.79
speaker2
674.13
session_98e0a9c3
ummm
694.49
speaker2
693.58
session_98e0a9c3
but we'll see
696.04
speaker2
695.13
session_98e0a9c3
i don't think i could teach anything other than english with my limited knowledge of spanish but
703.49
speaker2
697.08
session_98e0a9c3
right
702.04
speaker1
701.23
session_98e0a9c3
yeah unless you have some practical skill that they don't have right i know you have a conventional american education right that's real development right there
720.04
speaker1
705.48
session_98e0a9c3
yeah
708.04
speaker2
707.48
session_98e0a9c3
no
709.84
speaker2
708.98
session_98e0a9c3
i can teach them how to use a microwave
716.69
speaker2
713.13
session_98e0a9c3
yeah okay so it's ummm time to move to the transcript it's time to move to the transcript when i'm tired i mum sorry
730.44
speaker2
721.33
session_98e0a9c3
excuse me
725.74
speaker1
724.28
session_98e0a9c3
okay
727.44
speaker1
726.53
session_98e0a9c3
so should i put on this headsot
735.44
speaker1
733.23
session_98e0a9c3
no not quite
736.53
speaker2
734.93
session_98e0a9c3
okay everybody found this place again yeah it's nice okay so this is our second meeting and still failing yeah
72.06
speaker2
57
session_a1076242
now
73.23
speaker1
73.04
session_a1076242
we're going into the functional design important thing of this phase is that we're going to try to get a agreement about the user requirements technical function design and the working design so that we can move on to the second phase but first is phase first announcement there's a little adaptation in the air conditioning system so there's our ghoast mouse again but that means that you can have little trouble little trouble with air conditioning that's because of this okay it's in wing c and e so it should be over in in a while couple of days it's going to be cold anyway so i don't think you're gonna need it then our agenda now first the opening this time i will take the minutes you're going to have a presentation all of you ummm and we've got forty minutes for the whole uhhh pre for the whole presentations so i suggest we take about seven minutes per presentation and then we can have a little discussion about the new project requirements which have been sent to me and then the decision on the control functions which we want to include and those which we don't want to include so we've got forty minutes for all of it so i should just let's start with the first presentation who wants to be first
181.2
speaker2
73.24
session_a1076242
think i' will go first
183.8
speaker1
182.72
session_a1076242
okay so maybe it's easy if you yeah i think you will tell in your presentation as well which function you have and what are you gonna talk about okay
206.62
speaker2
183.84
session_a1076242
my name is frank van poland i'm a market expert but you already knew that i've done some research we have we uhhh have been doing research in a usability lab where we observe ummm users operating remote controls we let them fill out a questionnaire we had one hundred of these test subjects in addition we did some market research see what the market consists of what ages are involved well these are three quite astonishing results i thought remotes are being considered ugly seventy five percent of the ummm people questioned indicated that they thought their remote were was ugly and an additional eighty percent indicated that it would spend more money on a fancy looking remote control so in addition remote were not very functional fifty percent of the people indicated they only lo used about ten percent of the buttons on a remote control and fifty percentage of the people indicated that the remote tended to get lost in their room so some things then we did some research to do most relevant functions channel selection and volume selection ummm both got a ten on a scale of one to ten for relevancy the power button got a nine and teeltex got a six and a half so these are the most most important functions of a remote control then there are some one time use function that's what i'd like to call them they're the audio settings video settings and channel settings buttons which are not really used very frequently but are still considered to be of some importance channel selection was also indicated to used very frequently one hundred and sixty eight times per hour then these are the this is the market sixty percent of the market consists of users between the age of sixteen and forty six the main characteristic of this group is that they're very critical under remote control they like to use new new functions but they also are very critical they won't spend their money very easily so the users of forty six to sixty five years they make up forty percent of the market they're not really very interested in features but they do tend to spend their money a lot easier what i think this indicates for our ummm design i think we should make a remote for the future and this means we would have to focus on the age ages sixteen to forty five this also makes up most the biggest part of the market so that would also be where our main profit would be getable this would mean we would have to make a fancy design the results also indicated that about one quarter of the people questioned thought that remote control caused ersi this is certainly something to take into account and thirty four percent thought that it was hard to learn and how to operate a new control remote control so these are two factors that i think should be included in the design besides of course that the remote must look very nice functionality as a lot of people indicate that they only use about ten percent of the buttons i think we should make very few buttons this will also be beneficial to the design of the remote uhhh i think the most frequently used buttons should be emphasized especially the channel selection and audio uhhh selection buttons because they're used most and so they should be robust they shouldn't break down easily then as most as a lot of people indicated that their remote got lost in a room it might be and i say it might be because it would ummm certainly boost the uhhh production costs a lot but it might be a good idea to make a docking station and this would could get a button in it which would send a signal to the remote which would then beep so you know where it is in the room and in addition to this it could recharge the batteries in the remote if you put it in then surprisingly great deal of people would indicated that an lcd screen in the remote control would be preferred this was mostly people in the age of sixteen to twenty five but up till forty five it remains feasible this would also greatly increase the production cost but i think these are just some small factors we could consider
535.69
speaker1
206.8
session_a1076242
okay
538.55
speaker2
538.04
session_a1076242
that would be all
539.17
speaker1
538.56
session_a1076242
thank you anybody have any questions now
545.1
speaker2
540.16
session_a1076242
about
546.51
speaker1
546.24
session_a1076242
functional requirements okay that's clear add to the second okay afternoon
562.96
speaker2
546.52
session_a1076242
that us sha interface of it yeah for the techno functions of it yeah
574.79
speaker4
563.32
session_a1076242
you can take your time we c plenty of time
578.28
speaker2
574.8
session_a1076242
it's
579.95
speaker4
579.76
session_a1076242
been a
580.55
speaker2
579.96
session_a1076242
slide show
581.48
speaker1
580.56
session_a1076242
yeah
586.55
speaker4
586.28
session_a1076242
i
586.75
speaker2
586.56
session_a1076242
think we must use the general functions of the remote control i' i've doing a little research on the internet not much information about it so about the interface but yeah i've been thinking about a simple manner to put a lot of functions in one remote control so you got a lot of device like dvd television stereo so but it must be user friendly so yeah you can put a lot of functions in one yeah yeah in onemote control but yeah yeah got many functions in one remote control but you can see this is quite simple remote control few buttons but this remote control got a lot of buttons yeah people don't like it so what i was thinking about was keep the general functions like they are like the on off button keep it uhhh yeah like a red button everybody everybody knows it so you don't have to change that my personal preferences use a display for spec functions of the different device so what i was thinking about was you got this the
727.35
speaker4
586.76
session_a1076242
remote
727.75
speaker2
727.36
session_a1076242
control you got hear the general functions like the on off button sound i don't know and here you got a kind of a display it's a touch screen so yeah you got a general of the functions of the device for a dvd player or so ummm the play yeah for playing uhhh reversetc and you got here real buttons for selecting a device so this button is for a dv or so ummm for every device you got a part display of buttons so you you never got all the buttons on one device so that's a minor idea about it yeah and let's see yeah so that's g and the buttons the real buttons we have to use we better use quite large buttons for everybody have to use it so even of old people young people so we must keep buttons quite simple and quite large so yeah yeah that was mi
831.72
speaker4
727.76
session_a1076242
anybody
833.39
speaker3
833
session_a1076242
else questions about the technical functions
836.08
speaker2
833.4
session_a1076242
well i think if we are going to use a touchcreen we're gonna go way above the twelve and half euros
842.34
speaker3
836.36
session_a1076242
yeah i don't think so you got quite cheap touch screens it's not in c or something it's just one color yeah i seen something on the internet not today but a few weeks ago you got yeah quite an kind of a touchs screen it for twenty euros or less so it's possible
885.2
speaker4
842.68
session_a1076242
that's nice certainly
887.03
speaker2
885.36
session_a1076242
make a fancy design
888.48
speaker1
887.04
session_a1076242
yeah
888.72
speaker4
888.56
session_a1076242
but
890.32
speaker2
889.72
session_a1076242
it wouldn't be very robust it's very fragile and you can get scratches on it that is true
896.15
speaker3
890.76
session_a1076242
that's
896.76
speaker1
896.16
session_a1076242
into maybe we can first listen to your presentation that's good then we have a little discussion about the requirements and okay design think it's going to it's not
922.8
speaker2
897.68
session_a1076242
okay i've got a presentation about the working design first about how it works it's really simple of course everybody knows how a remote works the user presses a button the remote determines what button it is uses the infrared to send the signal to the tv the tv switches to the frequency or what function it is so we've got the plate gots conductive disks for every button when the user presses a button a signal got goes to the lad and transmited transmits it to the tv it's a very simple device technically speaking so this is a schematic overview you've got the buttons the power source and when a button gets pressed it goes to the chip the chip controls the infrared bulb and perhaps a normal bulb when you press a button you can actually see your pressed button
983.3
speaker3
923.72
session_a1076242
well
986.16
speaker2
985.56
session_a1076242
i think we should use default materials simple plastics keep the inner working simple so it's robust i think we should focus on aesthetics the design and the user interface because if you're going to use high tech materials the price is going to go sky high and you only have to design a remote once and if you use high tech materials it come back in every product so it's in my ideas it's going to be smart to invest in design and not in the product itself that's it
1,022.36
speaker3
986.8
session_a1076242
okay thank you okay okay now i hope everybody has a little bit more insight in the functions we all have and what we are doing right now i'm the project manager so i'm here to mess things up and tell you some new requirements that's we've got to design remote which is only suitable for tv that's because it will be too complex and the time to market will be too big if we want to have it for more functions so it has to be simple another point is we have to skip the data text because in the world of upcoming internet we think data text is going to be a thing of the past and it's a function we don't need in no remote control internet is also mentioned just to in a function we can use maybe also on television it will be available as well another one is the customer is forty plus that's the the market we have to to target because we are going to develop a new product which is speally designed for the younger customers this is a bit pity for the marketing expert because he was aiming on the younger persons so we have to find a market which is above forty plus but which will suit our remote control and the other way around and we have to be very attent in putting the corporate image in our product so it has to be visible in our design in the way our device works and we have to be very clear on this point as well so i suggest let's have a discussion on the control functions so
1,175.07
speaker2
1,023.2
session_a1076242
is there any discussion possible
1,176.56
speaker1
1,175.08
session_a1076242
requirements we
1,179.39

1,177.6
