Tim: So I think it's time to start preparing our presentation.
Samantha: Agreed. I've actually already done some research on natural selection. Just basic stuff like wikipedia but it cites some more serious sources.
Tim: ok, great. Do you want to focus on anything in particular? Because how are we dividing this project?
Samantha: I think I'd like to talk about the history of the concept - like what was before Darwin and then about his idea in the "origin of species"
Tim: I've actually just finished reading the selfish gene by Dawkins and I would like to incorporate some of the stuff from the book.
Samantha: Oh cool, was it good?
Tim: Great even. I've always thought it's a shame that he's mostly known as the chief atheist when he's really a brilliant biologist.
Samantha: I've always kinda associated Dawkins with the atheist stuff tbh I've only recently found out about his scientific work
Tim: Yeah, many people do that and it's a shame. You know that he coined the term meme?
Samantha: oh cool, i had no idea.
Tim: so it would be great to talk about he's ideas in the presentation
Tim: *his
Samantha: sure, you can talk about the modern understanding of natural selection and include Dawkins there
Tim: So I would give like the modern definition of it
Samantha: Yeah, seems like it. If you want.
Tim: sure, can do that. What else do we need?
Samantha: So we have - the history, the actual modern definition... maybe the evidence? We could mention like... you know, all the things they've dug up ;)
Tim: yes, the fossils and all that.
Tim: That's a good idea. And then maybe why it's important? Like how it changed science?
Samantha: oh, that would be good - why it matters when it comes to our understanding of humanity's development, origin etc.
Samantha: So you wanna take that part?
Tim: Yeah, could be interesting.
Samantha: So I'll take the evidence part.
Tim: Great. It seems evenly divided.
Samantha: Think so too. Btw are we making a power point or using some other software?
Tim: I was thinking Prezi it's much nicer.
Samantha: Heard of it, but I think I've never used it.
Tim: It's super easy, I'll show you when we meet.
Samantha: ok cool | Tim and Samantha are making a presentation on natural selection. Samantha will focus on the history of the concept and the evidence. Tim will focus on the modern definiton, including stuff from Dawkins' book, and why it matters to the humanity. The presentation will be in Prezi. |
Industrial Designer: we still have all all the options Wood do you think wood will be a good idea ?

Industrial Designer: Yep So we are to mainly design f mainly need to know which components we will use for energy and the material and interface For energy there are maybe two or three possibilities First one we can use simple battery or we can use traditional solar cells or mm and the material we can have plastic rubber which is good for this RSA and then titanium which can be which have very good look an and then interface we are to use push buttons or liquid crystal d LCD display And we can use some moving kind of thing So as we discussed before we need to we would like to have some speech recognition s chip in our remote control So this can be simple kind of programmable chip and which can use microphone sensors And we also want to look at our remote control so Still we are looking for possible technical specifications and how w easy we can do and within our pri range like we are to in our twelve Euros or around that So we are looking for simple devices or simple technology to do the location of remote control in a room or in a house So we discussed an Excuse me So we would like to propose battery instead of solar cells and it would be problematic to have enough energy with the solar cells and so we would like to just use simple battery And also we want to go for titanium design instead of rubber or and well the problem is with this design we found that we can not use doublecurved shapes
Marketing: What is a doublecurved shape ?
Industrial Designer: Like you can have two curves it is I think in manufacturing I guess it is problematic So we want to go for simple push buttons because it need a simple chip and it is really lesser re really less expensive compared to LCD which are which needs advanced chip technology and it is more expensive since we want to put some other features such as speech recognition we want to reduce cost
Project Manager: I want to know why it b just sorry but for the point before why not the rubber if it is something that it seems to be light
Industrial Designer: And also like in if you put a it is be difficult to do all the moulding of buttons and these things
Project Manager: You m titanium it is more
User Interface: W we can use something like you know the whole bodys titanium but there are some rubber or I do not know some rubber parts like to make it feel better and to you know
Industrial Designer: Like in cell phones recently these you can with the rubber in four directions and But full assembly We will use mainly for titanium and also it is bit difficult to do all the shapes we we would like to use push buttons instead of LCDs and so we want to mo I mean we are we want to put speech recognition so we want to reduce price on this technology and so that we can have enough space or enough money
Project Manager: s so simple button and speech recognition for the more complicated
Industrial Designer: Y we have simple buttons and speech recognition technology
User Interface: mm can we still include the L LSD display ?
Marketing: Seems not it is either LCD or pushbutton
User Interface: it is not going to be a t no touchable but still like a source of information or source for menus
Industrial Designer: maybe maybe we can see depending on how we will come up with our full design then if we have enough money or like for and
User Interface: so let us try it let us t
Industrial Designer: because the speech recognition technology will take at least five Euros or or something so we want to reduce the cost on display
Marketing: The display would only be display and not touch sensitive you mean
User Interface: it is it is not going to be a touch pad just a display for giving you information
Industrial Designer: Ok that can we we can consider because like it will not take much money I guess You have any further questions or ?
Marketing: I guess no So the batteries are going to be very light
Industrial Designer: we are to go for li and now I think we have many options in the market so we can go for small nickel or alkaline batteries for really light batteries and with good price
Marketing: So this device on n that can be used for speech recognition could also be used for just the finding it basically instead of clapping why not just be ask
Industrial Designer: that is then the the one thing we want to know is like because remote control is used for like in the household so it it it will be it m maybe at least five six people want to use it so so how to how to define our re speech recognition whether we want to do s speaker independent or speaker dependent If we are going for more speaker independent then it would be like again cumbersome and we need really m more technology if if everybody in the house n to locate then we are to go for some speaker independent technology or something
Project Manager: So let us now go to the you do not have more question ?
Marketing: Puts less of constraint on what we can do it is always like that We have dreams and the in the end we find out that it is not feasible
Industrial Designer: Oh We have some limitations
User Interface: But still LSDs already quite nice
Marketing: and it is quite nice as well
User Interface: I am an artist sorry I hope that is not too much | The industrial designer provided several options respectively for energy, material and interface. Among these options, the industrial designer preferred traditional battery, titanium and simple push buttons so that they would have enough money for speech recognition. After that, the user interface designer proposed an LCD display only for output, which might be taken into account. The group also talked about how to enable the users to find their controllers. |
