My name is Mark {gap} will be giving this presentation for you to kick the project off . {vocalsound} That's my uh that's the agenda for today . Well , of course we're new to each other , so I'd like to getacquainted first . So let's do that first , I mean {disfmarker} Let's start with you , can you introduce yourself ? You're our Marketing Expert .Marketing: Yes . {vocalsound} Um my name is Dirk , Dirk Meinfeld . Um I willbe uh {gap} Pr Project {disfmarker} the Marketing Expert .

And you are User Interface {disfmarker}User Interface: Nick Broer ,Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: User Interface Designer . I'm going to uh look at the technical design from the uh user point of view.Project Manager: Excellent . Okay .Industrial Designer: My name is Xavier Juergens , I'm the Industrial Designer , and there are three main questions that I have to find an answer to today . First one is uh whathappens inside the apparatus , second is what is uh the apparatus made of ,Marketing: Hmm .Industrial Designer: and the third is what should it look like .Project Manager: What should it look like ? Okay .Marketing:Hmm .Project Manager: Oh , let's kick it off . Oh , there we go . So , our new project is about {disfmarker} we need design a remote control for television set , so , which has to be original , trendy and user-friendly . Itook this off our corporate website . {disfmarker} I think well it sums up what we need to do . It's We're inspired by latest fashion , not only electronics , but also the latest trends in clothes and interior design . That'swhy our product will always fit in your home . So apparently we need to {vocalsound} um be very at um very open to what's currently hot in the market . So that's what you need to do to bring us the latest info andwhat people want .Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: So {disfmarker} So we put the fashion in electronics . So that's what we need to go for . Anyway , we'll take this project in three steps , three pha uh threephase of design . First step will be the functional design .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: And that's basically what we're gonna do . Everybody has uh a piece of individual work and a meeting afterwards , so we canshare information about {disfmarker} So I'm gonna keep this short , since we had a technical problem . So skip through this . Uh . Okay . Every meeting we {disfmarker} everybody can present their uh their views andeverything , so to help with these , you have {disfmarker} we have the SMARTboards here . We can use a regular PowerPoint presentation . I'm supposed to give you an introduction on this doodling board , so it's{disfmarker} actually it's very easy . Like it says , very simple , you just take out the pen . Like you see here , I'll just take the {disfmarker} take {gap} here . That's it , you just put it on the board . You see a pen here. You go here , just like using a pen . You can just draw whatever you want . It's like the eraser , can erase whatever you want . And so it will be easy just to illustrate your views , if you wanna change the format , youjust {vocalsound} either take out jus just like the pen , and whatever you want , your current colour , your line width , just to make the line bigger . So it should be really easy .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: This isto take the {disfmarker} just take a new slide and back again . We're just gonna keep using this board all the time , so I think it will be {disfmarker} it's very clear for everyone , I suppose . So I'll take this out .{vocalsound} Okay . We'll use that later . Anyway . Yeah , just just just stuff that you wanna share , just put it in the in the project folder , like I put my presentation now . I'll put the the minutes of every meeting , I'llput them there too , so everybody can read up if they have to leave early or whatever . So next , been here . {vocalsound} Well , {gap} gonna give the electronic white-board uh a shot . So basic idea is we have ablank sheet . Just try whatever you want , and like it says , draw your favourite animal . I think the creative genius should go first . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} The creative genius ?Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Thank you very much .Project Manager: So , draw us your favourite animal .User Interface: {vocalsound} Well , I'm more into the technical aspects of drawing,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: so I'm not really good at drawing animals ,Project Manager: Draw us a technical animal .User Interface: but uh the animal which I {gap} {disfmarker} Oh .ProjectManager: Yeah , it's still erasing .User Interface: {vocalsound} Pen .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Uh format . Else my animal will be like king-size . I pretty much like {vocalsound} a dolphin , because of itsuh its freedom basically . Let's see . A head . {gap} actually worked with this . It's like uh it's a very {disfmarker} Uh high-tech .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface:Bit low-responsive though .Project Manager: {vocalsound} So that's what we don't want .User Interface: Prefer pen and paper .Project Manager: We want a high-responsive product . So {disfmarker} It looks more likenuclear bomb .Marketing: {vocalsound} Very nice dolphin .User Interface: It {vocalsound} {vocalsound} doesn't look like a nuclear bomb .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: This thing isn't doing what I'm {disfmarker} What I want .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Let's go easy on it .User Interface: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Yeah , well it doeslook like a nuclear bomb .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: I'll just finish up real soon , because I'm {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: So it doesn't really looklike a dolphin ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Anyway ,User Interface: but then again , this is all new for me .Project Manager: it should {disfmarker} It {disfmarker} It's supposed to be a dolphin , you like the freedomthat it {disfmarker} that it represents .Industrial Designer: Uh-huh .User Interface: Like the ocean , like swimming . Do that in my spare time , so that's basically an {disfmarker}Project Manager: What do you like ?Okay . Well ,User Interface: Now we can forget this ever happened .Project Manager: our Marketing Expert . Show us an animal .Marketing: Um an animal .Project Manager: {gap} Pick a {disfmarker} pick a{disfmarker}Marketing: I like the elephant . {vocalsound}Project Manager: pick a clean sheet . Oh .

They are {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: They are reallybad , my drawing skills .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay uh-huh .Project Manager: Sure looks smooth .Marketing: Oh .Industrial Designer: I'm not sure how the legs should go , but {disfmarker}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh these are stripes .User Interface: Got it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I've picked this animal because it's very fast . It is uh it knows exactly what it wants . Uh ithardly ever wastes any resources .Project Manager: What does it want ?Industrial Designer: Uh well , basically uh it hunts for prey , but it does it always in a very well-thought way . Uh it knows exactly what it wants .It never kills an animal uh just for the killing , so it's very efficient . And it tries to do everything as fast as possible .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And it always goes for uh security , in seeking uh uh ahide spot and uh and doing everything ,Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: security , speed and efficiency is important . And I think uh those things we can use .Project Manager: I agree .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: , I'm supposed to draw the animal next .

Whatever . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Thinkit need shoes . So {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} I'm just too lazy to draw it all black , so {disfmarker} {vocalsound} That's the coolest ant ever .User Interface: You've done thisbefore , haven't you ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I love to draw ants . It's my hobby .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Anyway {disfmarker} Nah . {vocalsound} Just{disfmarker} I think it's very representative what we drew , I guess . Like you take {disfmarker} just take your freedom and use a a trendy interface that you design for us .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Just{disfmarker} Yeah . You're supposed to make i make it different from uh from what other people have , and just make it a little distinct . Anyway . {gap} another beep to stop the meeting . See . Warning . Finishmeeting now . Uh put this down . Examples . Well I guess we have a little little time extra , but {disfmarker} Just a little quick discussion to to open open our work . So what do you guys think about {disfmarker} Thefirst idea is just very short . I'll start with you . What are y What are your first ideas for the new product ? What {disfmarker}User Interface: Well , I basically had a question . Do {vocalsound} uh {disfmarker} Are wegoing to introduce a multi remote control ? Is it just the T_V_ or do we want to inProject Manager: The project I got was just for a T_V_ remote control .Marketing: Uh {vocalsound} {disfmarker}User Interface: Just forT_V_ remote control .Project Manager: Yeah , I guess so .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Okay . Well , I was thinking about design remote control , with our uh motto and all .Marketing: But {disfmarker}UserInterface: Uh thing to keep in mind is that we need to stick to what people are familiar with .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: No rational changes or whatever , 'cause it {disfmarker} revolutionary changes ,ProjectManager: Okay , so very intuitive design , I guess .User Interface: yes . {vocalsound} Uh we might have to consider other design aspects of our product . So that was something I wanted to add ,Project Manager:{gap}User Interface: and perhaps some usability aspect . T_V_ is becoming central in most homes . Do we want people who are disabled in any way to uh , yeah , to be able to use it as well ?Project Manager: Yeah ,we want {disfmarker} I suppose we want almost everyone to be using it . So {vocalsound} I think {disfmarker} I mean , really disabled people , yeah , {vocalsound} might be a problem , but I think it's a little {gap}take it into consideration . Um yeah . I think we really need to cut the meeting short . You have anything you wanna share quickly ?Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: Uh .Industrial Designer: Only one thing uh thathas to be added according to me is uh the the material it is made of , it should be something light .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: That's {disfmarker} it speaks for itself ,Project Manager: It should be light ,okay .Industrial Designer: but some uh {disfmarker} Yeah .Project Manager: Um , let's see ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: where did I {disfmarker} Let's skip that . Oh , this is it . Sorry , I skipped this sheet.Marketing: Selling price .Project Manager: What do we {disfmarker} This {disfmarker} Quick {gap} {disfmarker} What we're going to {disfmarker} Selling price , twenty five Euros .

And how we are going to do it iseach of us is going to um {disfmarker} We're gonna have {disfmarker} discuss the functional design first , {vocalsound} how is it gonna be used , what's the actual goal here , it has to operate T_V_ , blah blah blah .And we're going to do individual work on that and then meet . Same thing with conceptual design . Just the basic overview of the project and then we're going to do individual work , meet . That's pretty much the thewhole process for today . And then the detailed design , just more in-depth , get the actual schematics of the remote . Okay . Alright . First we're gonna start off by using our tools . And the whiteboard thing , do youguys wanna give that a try even though the ink wasn't working or do you wanna do it on here .Industrial Designer: I think we should forgo the whiteboard since we can't actually see what we're writing .Marketing: Wecould {disfmarker} Yeah , we could on here .Project Manager: Alright , let's go forward then .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um right now so we're all gonna draw our favourite animal and then sum upour favourite characteristics of that animal . Even if you are not a good drawer like me .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright .Industrial Designer: Artistic skills , nil .User Interface: Fine.Project Manager: Um .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh , thanks . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Bless you .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I draw like I'm in grade five .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh do I .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Kay , about one more minute .{vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . And who would like to start us off ?Marketing: I'll go .Project Manager: Alright .Marketing: {vocalsound} Um this is my picture . I drew fish{disfmarker} {vocalsound} I like fish , because uh , you know , their whole water-vascular system thing .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: It's pretty cool , and um they've got a pretty good habitat and they arepretty sometimes , sometimes vicious but that's okay .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Only if they're piranhas .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah , they they're easy , you know .ProjectManager: Alright .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Who wants to go next ?Industrial Designer: I'll go .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I drew a kitty . It's pretty much impossible to tell that's a cat ,but I love cats .Marketing: No I I see it .Project Manager: No , it looks like a cat .User Interface: No , I kne I knew .Marketing: Yeah , it does look like a cat .Industrial Designer: I love cats because they're independent ,uh they pretty much know what they want , they get it , they move on . {vocalsound}Project Manager: I love cats , too . I'm a cat person .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: I'm allergic to cats .Project Manager: Uh.Industrial Designer: I'm allergic to cats , too . {vocalsound}User Interface: Ah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh , okay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: If you're around one {disfmarker}User Interface: In my next life.Project Manager: I had a roommate who was um allergic , but if she was around my cat forever she became used to it , you know ,Marketing: Yeah , yeah , if you're around them for a long period of time{disfmarker}Project Manager: it's weird . Okay . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I still can't sleep with them in my room .Marketing: Oh , yeah , this summer I , oh I had to live with cats . It was crazy .ProjectManager: Okay , Fenella ?Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Um , I drew a badger . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Badger . Good choice .Industrial Designer: Yay .Marketing: Cool . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} Well , yeah .Project Manager: Why a badger ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Uh I dunno , they're grumpy and nocturnal and {vocalsound} {gap}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Are you trying to suggest something ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Well , a little bit like the {disfmarker} Yes . Um . {vocalsound} And then , if you know Wind in the Willows {gap} badger .Marketing:Oh , okay .User Interface: Yeah and then uh I don't know if you know Brian {gap} . He's Liverpudlian writer .Project Manager: Alright .User Interface: Um {gap} , that kind of books . Badgers are cool in that one too .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . And I'm last . 'Kay . Look at my sad sad giraffe .Marketing: No , that's good .Project Manager: No , no , no , it ends up looking like some kind of a dinosaur , but whatever . I don'tknow even much about giraffes , but I just love the way they look . They're just such odd creatures , you know . I I like that they're so unique and individual , I guess . I don't know much about their behaviour oranything , though . Only seen a couple in zoos .Marketing: You don't really have to , I mean , if you like 'em {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , but you can appreciate the way they look . Okay . Alright . Guess we'regetting straight back into business here .User Interface: {gap}Project Manager: Um the selling price for our remote is going to be twenty-five Euro , and our profit aim is fifty million Euro . We're going to make this aninternational product marketed in the States , in Europe , in Asia . And um our production cost to make that profit is gonna be a max of twelve fifty Euro per remote . Okay . So we're gonna talk for a little while . Umhere are some topics that we might be able to discuss . Expe our experiences with remote controls um , our first ideas about this new remote , anything that you can bring to the table for this project . So .UserInterface: Now ?Project Manager: Yeah . You wanna start us off ? Anybody have anything to offer ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well , we wanna make a multifunctional remote , right ?ProjectManager: Right .Industrial Designer: One remote for everything .User Interface: And everything being {disfmarker} Wait , we have what , sound system , T_V_ , D_V_D_ , V_H_S_ , uh TiVo ?Marketing: Right.Industrial Designer: Um . I think they'll be phasing V_H_S_ out shortly .Marketing: Yeah , TiVo .Project Manager: TiVo .User Interface: But it's still there , soIndustrial Designer: Okay .User Interface: if po if we'regonna do it {disfmarker}Marketing: It needs to be compatible 'cause universal remote controls are never universal .Project Manager: They're never universal . That's right . Esp e especially if you buy a a not big product, D_V_D_ player , say , usually it doesn't work if it's not one of the {disfmarker}User Interface: Or if it's not like a Sony , if it's like a {disfmarker} I don't know .Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah . Something from Sam'sclub .Industrial Designer: So we'll have to figure it how to cover all the different variances in signals .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: And what we need an insanely good instruction booklet , because you alwayshave to reconfigure all your contraptions to go with the remote anyways .Project Manager: Yeah . 'Kay , and um another thing that I think is important is the d the design of the product , how it feels in your hand . If it'sjust flat and kind of boring th those don't {disfmarker} Nobody wants to buy those any more . They want the ergonomic ones .Marketing: They want like the flashy lights .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Oh like thiscame from Las Vegas .Project Manager: Ones that ones that look high-tech , too .User Interface: But at the same time are simple .Project Manager: Right .Marketing: Mm yeah .Project Manager: So that people like mymother can use it .Industrial Designer: What about something with the curvature like that matches the curvature of a hand ?Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay . Anybody haveany experiences with remote controls that they can remember that {disfmarker}User Interface: Just bad ones . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah {gap} . {vocalsound} That's true .User Interface: Um .IndustrialDesigner: What kinda battery would we want to use ? Because battery changing is usually {disfmarker}User Interface: D Double A_ .Marketing: Double A_ .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Do some of themuse triple A_s though ?Marketing: Yeah some use triple A_s .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Some but {disfmarker}Marketing: So double or triple ?User Interface: Yeah , I guess then it's {disfmarker} If weneed to do triple A_ we can , but most people usually have double A_s around .Project Manager: Okay . Yeah . But that has to do with the size of it too . Well , w as long as we know that issue is {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .User Interface: Right .Project Manager: Here we can {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , if we want it to be more thin , then we'd probably wanna go with a triple A_ .Project Manager: Triple A . ButIndustrialDesigner: Can you {gap} with a small lithium battery ?Project Manager: it's okay , we don't have to decide about it now , just as long as we remember battery type and size is important .User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Hey . Anything else ? Alright . Moving along . Oh , we're closing the meeting . Next meeting is gonna start in thirty minutes . Here's what we're going to do . Um the I_D_ , which is who ?Okay , you're going to think about the working design . What do you think that means ? {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . And U_I_D_ , the technical fun functions design ,User Interface:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: making sure it does everything that we need the remote to do , the functionality of it , operating all those different things . Okay . And the marketing person , that's Courtney , is going to dothe user requirements specification . I guess that means specifying um what exactly the user is going to be looking for . Right ? I would think so . Okay .Marketing: Right .Project Manager: And you're gonna get morespecific instructions emailed to you in just a little while . Okay , so does anybody have anything they wanna say before we close the meeting ? Okay . This meeting is officially over .
