Mm-hmm So, ready?.

'Kay

No not really Just.

Crap.

Sorry, I I um.

Okay.

It's perfect..

Your judgement it's is biased..

I'm afraid Uh thi this remote control will stay a prototype..

'Kay, so whe where is the remote control?

So, we are.

Where?.

It's here..

So let's go for our detailed design meeting.

Okay.

Yep.

So I will still play the role of the secretary, and we'll have um first the project presentation by our User Interface Designer, David Jordan,

Okay.

Yeah..

Yeah..

and our Industrial Designer, Baba.

Yeah..

So we'll have to evaluate the uh your proposed remote control,

'Kay.

and um have an idea of the price that uh this thing will cost..

And in case if we're we all agree on the fabrica of um building of this remote control, we'll evaluate the um production.

So maybe I will let the our two designers talk about so their.

I have slides.

You have s oh, sorry.

Okay.

Oops.

Ah,

Effectively one slide and maybe we can discuss everything.

Product prod

What slides?

Yep. Okay. Okay. So, this is our product or prototype. This is made by clay.

Looks strange..

Yeah. Uh the basic colour is uh yellow and red. Yellow is uh our company colour,

Okay.

uh red it's uh is more attractive. So we used two basic colour, yellow and red. And the shape, there's two basic shape. The first is a circle and the second is a triangle s piece.

Okay.

It's we call it a mushroom design.

It's looks like some mushroom, so we call it mushroom design.

Yeah. Uh.

So this is a introduction of our product.

Genetically modified mushroom I will say, but

Next a mo

Yeah.

Okay,

keep on speaking.

yeah, so next slide. So there are several key features of our pr prototype. The first is that it is fuzzy. I'm sure this would be the unique design the market.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah I'm sure..

Maybe, I hope so..

Yeah, so it's a fuzzy design, and a unique design.

Yeah, that's true.

Um, and uh the second key feature is that uh s circle channel um selection. In the traditional key uh traditional controller use button to to select the channel but now we have a s circle, so we can turn this ball to t to select channel.

Chan

So it's quite convenient for user to use it.

Yeah, okay, but don't touch don't destroy your prototype..

Yeah, s.

okay. Uh the third feature is a stable triangle base. Uh this sta uh this triangle base is very stable, so uh so it's it's um it's unlikely you cannot found it. So it's v Um, you can put it in the table so you can turn the the ball to cha to select the channel and there's some cute button. You c can can you can see the the shape of the buttons n is a mushroom, so.

Everything's mushroom. So we can call our remote control the mushroom.

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's mushroom. Mush Mushroom design, yeah.

Yeah but it's not like really mushroom because you have uh you know uh like lemon shape, you know, centre is yellow and t d

Yeah

Okay.

Yeah, th that's why if you put it in the table, be careful, somebody will eat it..

To integrate, you know yeah.

I don't think I hope nobody will eat it You know, to integrate the fruit aspect, you know the the in

Oh.

Yeah

Yeah, because mushroom was not in the trends. I mean there was fruits yeah. Yeah.

Fruits and vegetables.

Really? But Fruit and vegetable,

Vegetables. Mushroom is a vegetable.

so mushroom was a kind of you know uh.

Yeah.

I don't think it is.

It's vegetable.

Mushroom?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, uh I'm not sure..

So th it's something eatable.

We can it's a veg a kind of vegetable,

Yeah.

but you know we we integrated them with different colour.

Yeah.

But anyway this is not a mushroom anyway, so it's fine.

Yeah..

I think we take into account what you said about fruit and vegetable you know. This, you know, very enlighted colours, you know.

No, I mean, yeah yeah. Inspira inspiration is.

And inspired colour

and and very sophisticated material, so.

True.

And so.

Yeah.

Next slide.

Uh, no this our only two slides..

So what we w what I can add is that, you know he talk about what is outside, so what is inside is what we dis what we talked before about, you know, the chip,

Yeah.

it is a low level chip, and.

So we cut it to see..

You know, we don't need to k.

Mm-hmm.

You know wi the low level chips inside and you know the L_C_D_ button and the i

Okay. So where's the battery battery?

The battery it is under.

In the base.

It is in th in in the base, yeah..

In the basement. In the basement.

Base. Here?

And where is the solar solar cell?

But we say uh we sa we said solar.

Where is the solar cell?

In fact this this this this is a kind of you know revolutionary solar receptor that we can put outside and.

Oh. Do you think it won't be It won't cris increase the price?

Okay

I don't think so,

Okay, we'll see after.

but it it's might be okay, so.

We will have first to.

I it might be okay. So.

so, mister money, what's your opinion according to this remote control?

Yeah.

I mean, we gonna try to measure how good it is instead of just talking about uh

we had three keys key points to uh for this remote control design,

and first one was uh

Mm-hmm.

fancy look and feel.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So w we'll try to judge this feature uh with a one to seven scale, one being uh no, I think.

Uh just let me check.

So, four point three point five, it means it's acceptable.

One one being true, and seven being false. Okay.

Oops.

Ouch. So

Okay.

Do we have a fancy look and feel, according to you?

Yeah, I think so.

I think you have nice colours. I don't.

But is it.

The sha the bowl shape people like.

Yeah, the shape is unique, and the colour.

Uh I'll agree it's unique, but is it really.

Is it really fancy?

So it depend on how d do you define fancy.

Yeah I mean, fancy was was defined by s fruit and vegetable look.

But it's you have the lemon aspect of this th this this thing..

Yeah.

Maybe if you change if you take the buttons out, and maybe do things like that.

Do Don't do that, please.

I dunno where the lemon is, but

I it's it's i this shape is a lemon like, so.

I mean it's not obvious.

It would be bet more like a lemon?

Yeah.

If.

Because i

I dunno, maybe improving the texture of like having it less smooth or.

Yeah.

Less button.

Uh so, my mush.

Looks like more fruit. Maybe a pineapple?

Yeah, but you don't have any button now.

Mm.

Yeah. I dunno.

And you know, you have the finger here, with the buttons?

Yeah.

That's uh yeah, is that.

Hmm.

that's a good idea.

Yeah, it's getting.

It looks more like a pineapple.

So that's great..

Sorry.

That's great..

What's the use for that?

I have no idea, so..

Uh, for turn turn the ball. If you want to turn the ball, it's very it's very convenient for you to to to turn the ball to change the channel.

I have no idea what.

And where is the voice recognition?

Okay.

Uh. Ah, it's embedded, your microphone.

Okay.

Th this th th there's two two functions.

Yeah, that's Wait th that's the second point.

This is microphone array.

First one is we have to judge the fancy look and feel.

If it is fancy or not.

Okay. Is it better like that?

I mean.

Looks okay,

So we can we can say t

let's say it's a pineapple now..

The colour, is the colour acceptable?

No, the colour is okay, that's fine.

So the shape now.

I mean it's.

It looks like a.

but I would say there is more too much red.

now you took it.

It's too much red?

Um if

In the basement?

It looks like a pineapple with cherry on top.

Okay.

Right. So, from one to seven?

I will give I will.

Mm uh Seven is the ma the maximum?

I'll gi

No, seven is false and one is true.

I'll give two or three.

Three, I will say three.

Three, it's okay. Three, three. Three is fine for me.

Three?

'Kay

Okay.

Isn't it bitter like that?

Three.

Yeah yeah yeah..

Then uh let me.

What other.

The other criterion is is it technologically uh technologically in innovative.

Is it easy to use?.

Feasible? You said previously that you there's um microphone inside an

Ye uh Embedded.

Yeah, this is microphone array, in fact.

It's a micro array, okay.

There four microphone.

Oh. Okay,

So they they they they there's a microphone array.

and you have the there's the technology inside that recognise simple vocal comments?

Yeah, yeah.

And you can turn it so maybe it's techno technologically innov innovative?

So you can capture voice yeah, you c

Oh yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so you can capture s voice from different directions. Yeah.

And I think you you've never seen a rou a round remote control, so it is I

Yeah bu but when you say technologically it's more uh I dunno, in the core, or single.

W Yeah, but.

We have tactile buttons.

Mm-hmm.

I see, you have microphone array embedded. You have.

No, that's good. Yeah.

That's good.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, th that's another really good point. Maybe okay.

I think technically it's acceptable, so.

Maybe two?

Yeah.

So using the same scale, two?

Two? I would say two

Two, yeah, two. It's it's fine, so.

. You agree?

Yeah, I agree.

Okay.

It's better like that, isn't it?

Now maybe the most critical one.

Okay.

Most.

L last one w I would like to judge is is it easy to use?

Eh, for th the vocal command yes, it's might be easy. But it's just speaking.

Yeah, it's very easy.

You just need the command.

You can use this in this way.

Yeah but this this turning can you can you just re explain me the.

As a principle..

Yeah.

Please.

Th this is the base.

So you can turn to change the channel.

Yeah. Yeah but how how intuitive is it to turn things to change channels?

You just tu turn d d

I think maybe if you he

Oh, ok I understand.

Like if you want to go from.

You take take the remote, so.

If you hear some click.

and you can turn like that to change the channel?.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah but imagine you y

I think it's quite easy to so s zapping, but maybe it will be too fast..

Yeah I'm I'm no I'm not definitely convinced it's it's the best way to if you wanna jump from, I dunno, one to twenty?

Oh yeah, that's difficult. That's dif that's difficult.

Yeah.

How can you go directly to twenty, for example?.

No, no, no. I if y uh if.

Yeah.

it depend on the the angle you turn the.

Yeah. I agree. I agree.

Yeah but y how you need to know I.

But I mean if you're fro from two?

I if if this is a channel one. So it c it could be channel two, channel three, channel four, channel five.

I think something that Yeah.

Yeah, you have a, like that, and so on.

So change. Yeah.

And you you can.

Yeah ju just imagine you have fifty fifty channels uh.

Oh yeah.

Y uh fifth channel divided by the num by the by three hundred thirteen degree.

We're not talking Yeah.

So you got how many degree you you it.

Yeah but y but you have to go through all the channels if you want to go.

I think you can if you have a scale, so.

No no, you don't have to y no it's uh when you when you stop t uh when you stop, the the turn,

Mm-hmm.

then the angle you stop is the angle you is the channel you.

Yeah. How d how do you know this angle is th is the correct one?

It's it's very easy, because you kn you know how many channel are there in the.

So you you count one degree, two degrees, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can do it.

I don't think so..

Yeah, it's a bit difficult.

I think so I think so you can do it. I think so, you can just change.

I think b but the the vocal command is easy too. You can say fifty and fifty it's okay, so.

Yeah voc vocal command is okay. But w we've said previously that maybe it's not going to be th l the main.

There's uh also a number, you know.

Yeah, but when you're zapping you're changing from one channel to the other, so you're passing through all the channels. So, when you say I want to go to the channel number twenty that's you've decided to go to channel twenty, so you can say channel twenty, or channel four, because you really want to go on this channel.

Uh, yeah, and y that's yeah.

But if you really want to to do zapping you you don't really know what you want to do, you can turn it.

And this would be more for browsing, ah.

Yeah.

Just go through all the channels and maybe stop if there is something interesting?

Yeah. To see uh.

Mm-hmm.

yeah uh.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Seems to be good.

Yeah.

Good choice, mister David Jordan..

Yeah..

Yeah, I mean you're famous. You.

And but I'd.

And also you can, if you i

yeah, what's what's this cherry?

You ca you can turn this. Or you ca you can you can also turn this.

It is a turn off t turn off button, maybe.

For this you can tune it's for tune. You you if you want to skip from channel one to channel two, you you skip this. If you want to from uh skip from channel one to channel ten you tune this.

It's like fine, from coarse to fine.

Mm.

This is coarse, this is fine.

Yeah, yeah yeah. That's

Okay.

So it's coarse to fine design.

that's very technologic, so. Yeah.

Yeah..

Okay the uh th this looks better. Yeah.

Yeah is is this is, from one channel to maybe to ten channel.

S But I di I didn't see where the t f the turn off t turn on turn off button so much activates

This is from one channel to.

maybe one of the.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, th you have the vocal commands.

Uh it's k.

Yeah.

On off.

on off, yeah.

Yeah, but it has to be on to recognise fas

Most of the time you have the yeah it's a sleeping remote control.

Yeah, sleeping.

Ah, that's not the ecological part, yeah.

That's true. W that why we have the solar ti yeah.

To compensate.

Solar.

Yeah.

Okay.

So

So, which number?

three.

Easy to use, it's very relative but three it's fine, I think, it's reasonable three..

Do you agree?

Mm-hmm.

Three?

Yeah, agree, agree.

So reasonably, is four, is one?

Three f three for me, it's o it's okay.

So, three.

Four or three. Maybe you can vote to see how many everybody gives and no and just take the mean.

And what's your opinion?

Will you give four?

Uh we wouldn't say, I mean, those are sort of agreed but this one would be more five to me.

Five? Yeah, so maybe if.

Uh w w what do y what uh you compare with traditional uh um tr traditional controller?

Yeah.

I think it's easier than traditional controller. If you use traditional controller you have to put a button, but now you don't have to put button, you have you just turn the turn the ball.

Yeah but y you know.

There's two kind of balls,

So you have.

the smaller the the the so you can c you can c you can control the scale.

yeah.

But in the traditional controller, how do how can you control the scale?

Uh by pushing zero after after the first one.

You just push two button, zero and and one.

Yeah,

And that's.

yeah, yeah, y you you can do it, but you can also do it in the b if you you do not wa if you do not want to browsing all the channel you can just p there's also a button here.

Yeah.

Are there some buttons? Okay.

Yeah, this function is just for your browsing, from one channel to th the next one, the next s sn s, the th the third one.

It's not what you said previously.

Mm-hmm.

Previously you said that turning this was the fine.

Yeah, if you're changing your mind.

Fine to coarse.

Fine to coarse.

Yeah, yeah.

And from ten to ten channels here.

Y one to ten, ten to twelve, uh ten to t uh twenty. Ten to twenty and this one, t one two three four five six, like this.

Okay.

Uh there's different scale, so you can you can choose how much do you want to sc

Okay. But this this has to stay on the table, right?

Mm-hmm.

This has to stay on the table.

In fact on a flat place.

I i this is just a base. You can just.

You can.

Yeah.

Yeah but then uh when you turn turn it.

Oh.

Yeah, no no, no. You can't put it out.

Oh ye yes, that's right.

Just It's.

It's just your turning from the base. You need to have everything in hand. If you want to turn, you can't use it and turn.

It's impossible..

Oh

You need to put it on and turn..

Yeah. You know tha that's the weak point,

You use your y

because with a traditional one you just have one hand.

Yeah, but nobody would be able to take it in the pocket and bring it in the kitchen and say I've lost the remote control.

my God.

So th this is a d next generation controller. Yeah..

Nobody would take it..

Sure. Yeah, you would never you would never lose this one, yeah.

So nobody w will lost lose it.

yeah maybe, maybe may

Yeah.

it's the next prototype, maybe we cou

Okay okay, okay.

S maybe we can change from th

Four. Maybe four, it's okay.

Four. Okay.

Four? Easy to use, four.

I'll put four.

Gonna say four.

Four.

Yeah, four it's more reasonable.

Uh it's even easier to maybe.

You can you can erase with this er yeah.

Ok

Okay.

Mm.

Yeah, four it's more reasonable, so. So it's nine,

So, average?

nine over three.

Three?

Three?

Trois. Three..

Oh yeah, it's.

Trois..

Okay, so.

It need maybe some wo further work, but it's.

Yeah, especially on the easy to use

Yeah, uh s yeah.

Yeah.

target.

Might it might be fine.

So, th the project is accepted?

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, b I think.

But I d m I think that it will be good to do some more work to transform this into a pineapple.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

If you re we really want to have a fruitful remote control..

Yeah.

Okay.

So uh mm mm. Mm.

That's the finance.

Okay and we we had a project prototype presentation with the evaluation. So as we all agree to accept, under certain conditions, the prototype, we'll have look to the final sh financial view.

Yeah.

Mm. Okay.

So we need to calculate the production cost. As I said in the first meeting we need to have so a remote control that would cost not more than twelve and point fifty Euros.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And if not if it's not the case y you would have to redesign it.

Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

So, just have a look at the okay here is the Excel sheet, so

so it has the energy source. We have hand dynamo. No, we don't use that.

No.

We have battery, right?

Yeah, we have battery.

Kinetic, we don't have it, I suppose,

No,

but we have solar cells.

um solar cells, yeah.

Um, how many do y do you need, solar cells? Do you think one would be enough, or such as as number of branches?

Uh I think in each ball you have three.

Three?

three uh yeah, three, yeah. Three three solar cells.

So, electronic. Single simple chip on print? Just one would be necessary?

S s simple, simple, yeah.

One?

Yeah.

Zero for the others. And sample sensor, sample speaker. One?

Mm. One maybe, yeah.

As we have voice recognition, I think.

Yeah yeah yeah.

So the case.

Is it.

Is sh it.

So we are all already nineteen.

Wooden..

Okay,

just keep on going, just to have an idea.

The solar cell is too expensive..

Yeah..

Is Yes a wooden pl I and that's.

Well uh.

There's no wood, so plastic just only, I think.

yeah, but what what about case? Uncurved, flat, single curved, double curved. I think it's more like double curved.

That's gonna be double curved, yeah.

Double curve, yeah, double curve.

One?

One, you have.

Uh wood?.

But it's yeah, a a rubber uh.

Rather four buttons.

Uh do we need special colour?

Oh no, interface.

Y maybe, two? We have two special colours.

Yeah, yeah. Y y yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah that's special colours, sure.

Push button.

Mm. Yeah, we have four.

Five?

Five..

Okay. Scroll wheel. We don no.

No.

It it's more like integrated scor.

I think that this will be like a scroll wheel, actually.

No no.

Yeah tha that's wheel.

Y you tu you turn you turn it, so.

No no no, it Okay.

Yeah, maybe two scroll wheel, as we have the coarse coarse to fine scroll wheel.

Yeah.

Yeah, true. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Scr

So, no button supplements?

I think the price is okay.

No.

Okay.

Um, no.

Okay we I think we have problem..

L_C_ display, maybe. Interface.

I think we s if we keep on adding things.

It's okay. fine.

so we have to.

Yeah w one of the m key point is solar cells.

Maybe if w t if suppose if we change and we g put just one?

Yeah.

Has it changed.

Yeah, it was stage one, so.

No y i it did change, but

Okay.

We have change the electronics to from from the the the sample sensor to regular chip. Oh.

just imagine we have.

So.

We have to delete the the sample sensor, I think.

Yeah, but we have you the the voice recognition,

Yeah.

no?

Yeah but this one one of the feature we were not really.

Yeah it's the one it's.

Okay.

m maybe we ha we have two versions, the first version, the basic version.

I think you can transform the wood into plastic, maybe.

Advanced version we have speak.

Yeah.

Because uh it seems that this can be.

Yeah, if.

Or it would be better.

yeah, wood into plastic and it it should be fine.

Plastic is free..

Yeah.

So, do we need special colour?

Yeah, that's one of the requirement.

Because we have red.

Yeah, red and yellow.

Red and yellow.

Wait.

Fancy.

We we can we can we c.

We could turn we could turn everything in either yellow or black.

yellow.

Black then is a regular colour, so.

I think so we need if we try to have a kind of

Yeah, one.

pineapple bee..

Yeah. So push button then it's it's the next expensive one.

Yeah. An but we have integrated scroll wheel with push dut button. And I think this is one. Integrated scroll wheel push button

Yeah, thi this might be.

. So we'll we have only one? And push button.

Close to.

So if we have all integrated i in the scroll wheel and push button, it's uh.

One. I can remove maybe f you have five with push buttons, so we can just, I dunno, try to modify some of them to have yeah.

Okay, so what's the bottleneck?

How about we change the sale?

Double curved.

Double curve. We can transform the double curve into single c yeah.

Something flat.

F some.

Yeah, but flat.

S uncurved. Yeah, maybe not.

Single curve.

Case, what's the ca

Yeah.

Single curve should be fine, so. Oh, what.

Mm. Nearly.

Ah we have one.

And then one Euro left.

Um.

Maybe don't bat no battery, only solar cells.

It's it's a bad idea, so..

Um.

I think there's a problem with the push push button. We only need maybe just one.

Two?

Just one.

One..

Yeah.

That's fine. That's fine..

Okay. Okay. Agree.

So yeah, you will have.

So we have one button,

One s one scroll wheel, so

one wheel.

So one button, and s scroll wheel with push button on it.

And the vocal chord, it's fine. It I th it's fine.

So.

It's good they're not charging anything for that..

So, yeah. It think we we've done good job, as the cost is

Cou could we have look.

twelve fifty e

Could we have look at the p the the prod the p the cost?

Yeah y actually it's wrong. We're not under twelve Euros and a half.

Yeah, but it's under or equal. It's not written. Sometimes it's under or equal.

It's fine. It's under or equal. It's fine, so.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. So let's say.

Twelve fifty.

Wha what.

It's fine, twelve fifty uh.

yeah. Which part is the most expensive part?.

Solar cells.

Yeah, I think.

The solar cells, r is i is it?

Yeah, I think it's not t t

I think, yeah. But it would i be interesting for our marketing team, to make a lot of advertisement concerning these solar cells to be.

Yeah, to be able to si to sell it.

Yeah.

Cheaper.

That's nice argument,

Yeah, with mi

but if it's it's still four our of twelve.

It's it is really really uh really very very expensive, though.

Yeah.

Maybe if uh okay.

Yeah but it will be technologically innova innovative, so..

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah but we just have one button..

So it's easy to use and powerful, as the remote control a has only one button.

Easy. I don't know about powerful. Yeah.

Easy, powerful.

It's easy to use. It's very easy to use..

Mm.

So I don't think we need to redesign the p the product.

No.

Uh that's what we've just done.

We've done it with it is under the if it was low, high or so.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So.

Um okay.

Now.

So So what are we going to do with this project evaluation?

So.

Well I think we have just have to discuss if.

Okay, okay, it's fine.

I dunno.

So did you enjoy your clay modelling?

Yes. Of course. This is my job..

Yeah? Was it a nice way to create your remote control?

Yeah, it's uh it's good, to to create a control instead of a computer..

Yeah, I think I find it really funny and amazing and interesting to go through all the process to from the beginning to the end. And designing, looking at the chips, the solar cells and uh and it was very informative for.

Yeah.

And for the marketing guy?

Uh tha that was good but we should have more brainstorming like meetings, maybe.

Yep.

'Cause we just presenting one is presenting his stuff

Okay.

next one his stuff and then we try to combine afterwards, so it um.

Okay, okay.

And new ideas about new products, maybe, wi which would be fashion and uh and yellow..

Yellow. I think you can think about a yellow T_V_ now after a fruit T_V_ or I dunno.

It can be an interesting I don't know.

Yes, just lemon.

Yeah, just a lemon T_V_ it'd be yellow lemon.

Yeah, but y you know the traditional T_V_ it's um.

It's flat, uh.

Yeah yeah it's flat,

Squared?

yeah the shape is very boring.

Yeah, that's right. It's really boring, yeah.

Could we come up with new T_V_ with such as this kind of T_V_?

Yeah..

So you can you have base, triangle base so you the T_V_ you can.

Ah, the lemon T_V_ with the pineapple remote control.

Yeah, that's that would be really interesting, actually.

Yeah. Yeah. Because the T_V_ you also.

Oh, that's interesting. You could f we could do a kind of fruit collection of electronics things. Electronic device.

Device devi

Yeah.

Yeah, but just don't trust too much the trends.

Yeah.

The fruit? Yeah.

Maybe.

'Cause fruit and vegetables it won't last for ten years uh.

Yeah, maybe la next year it will be insects.

Yeah, it's.

Maybe two years it's dead.

Yeah.

But I think it's good to follow the f flow and you know make it now and after, you know, if the people change their mind you change also the product.

Yeah.

Mm.

Yeah, but this is good because it's not a long long life product.

Yeah.

T_V_ is more like fifteen years, maybe, so.

Yeah, yeah. That's a yeah, yeah.

If you have a lemon lemon T_V_ for

We can think about T_V_ with you know where you can change you know the aspects o like for the cell phones, you know.

fifteen years.

Customable T_V_.

Yeah, you customise it every ti so every ti if people change, you just change the appearance, and y y you can keep.

Yeah, yeah.

Ah such yeah. You've already said mobile phones.

Okay.

Tha that would that would make it. Yeah.

Yeah, you can keep the global appearan

Yeah, and following.

The mood of persons, the fashions uh.

Mm.

Yeah.

It's interesting, maybe we can create a a line of uh T_V_ with uh a a tr

We int Yeah, T_V_, yeah. A T_V_ for autumn and a T_V_ for winter, you know, so it's.

Yeah. Yeah.

So what i and do w is it Okay.

So I think the costs are within the budget. We're just at twelve fifty Euros.

Yeah, the pr at.

Yep.

Yeah.

So

do you think you can celebrate your creation?

And you can celebrate your leadership..

Oh, thanks a lot. Thank you, mister David Jordan..

Yeah but I think f it's really a celebrating object. So it's yellow and very a very ha it's very happy, so.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Uh it's it's a pr it's like yeah.

Yeah. It's party party remote control.

The thing now is to to sell it.

Yeah, it's your job..

Yeah,

Sell it..

right, go and sell it. Goo and good luck, so.

Yeah..

Yeah. Okay and the twelve fifty twelve uh twelve.

Uh-huh. Twenty five Euros.

Twenty five Euros, yeah.

It should be fine.

Yeah, I think it's.

It's maybe a little bit expensive..

Twenty five Euros.

It's cheap, yeah. No, I.

No, it's not so expensive.

I'm not so happy about the fruit shape, you know.

Wh really?

It should be it should be fine, you know, actually. S

Okay.

Maybe what you can do a test. Put it outside, and if bees come, it's really fruit..

Yeah.

I I think I like the the colour a the colour are very good, so actually so.

But don't put sugar in it, it's not working.

Okay..

No, the colours are uh it's perfect, yeah.

It's perfect, and.

True. Uh yeah, another thing is the logo is missing still.

I p is th y.

Yeah, but the colour, I think the colour is more is most important,

the the yellow ball thing that.

Uh.

because I I don't think you have ever seen something like that before for a remote control.

Still that was one of the requirements we had. It's yeah but it I don't think it's such a problem just putting the logo somewhere.

Uh f like y we can we can put some uh double R_.

Yeah, but we decided to have something yellow and red, for the costs.

Yeah.

So maybe we can just integrate it on th on one side, the double R_.

Mm.

Okay yeah, yeah. That's actually good idea, so.

Yeah.

Mm.

So we have the logo, we have the colour, and we have the fashion in electronics,

So we have to give a.

so we have the slogan too.

So we have give him give it a cute name.

Yeah

th no, it's the it's the pineapple control remote control.

Mush mushroom controller.

Cute na You cannot say mushroom because it's not the trend.

It's a pineapple now, it has changed. It's a pineapple.

It's not a mushroom. It's a pineapple remote controls.

It's not the trend.

Pineapple.

Pa Pine apple.

Yeah, pineapple remote remote control.

Yeah, but just flying saucer, or.

With cherry on top.

Oh, that.

Okay.

I would say flying saucer.

Oh unid uh unidentified remote control, so.

It's more appropriate, somehow.

Okay.

That's that's pineapple remote control. I think it's fine.

Okay.

Will you buy one?

Yeah. Yeah I will try I'll try.

Okay.

Mm.

Try to. Okay uh.

Twenty five Euro.

. I can hel I will try versions so to see how easy easy to manage.

Okay. Yeah you told me you h you d you d you lost your control your T_V_

Yeah I always lose my Yeah, so so i if it is a universal one I can use it with my T_V_, so it would be.

so you need to buy one.

One thing I like is the shape, because you know it's not like the uh the remote controls you can put in your pocket, on uh in your jacket.

Okay..

Mm.

Traditional one? Yeah. So this one and this one. What do you choose?

I prefer the laser remote control. No.

I think I would choose this one because of the colour. It's

What do you choose? Okay.

it's will enlight your house, your home and your T_V_, so.

Okay.

Oh. Maybe next if we decide to do something we'd can put light inside.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah that would be uh an idea.

Yeah but that's going to be expensive, you know.

Yeah.

We had some problems going to twelve Euros and uh I dunno.

I think it it would be interesting to just to see if we can if people will buy this one, and maybe add some features to it after yeah.

Yeah, afterwards, if

Yeah. Yeah.

if it's a new trend. Okay.

So.

Yeah that's that fine. So we can celebrate now. That's our new product.

Champagne, mister Baba..

Yes.

We should celebrate.

It's it's fine. It's I like it. Next time..

So buy one..

Well, I'll buy one here.

Yeah..

So.

Mm.

Okay, I will close this. Mm.

Yeah. No?

So I think we have finished the designing and the evaluation of our remote control

Okay. Okay.

Yeah.

and we have a nearly final product.

Our final prototype which yeah.

Final prototype, yeah, ye yeah.

Final prototype, right.

Prototype, yeah.

So, thank you very much.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Very productive.

Okay. Thanks.

S so who is going to take the remote control?

Question: In the Pineapple Remote Control meeting, what was the advantage of the pineapple remote control’s shape?

Response:
The Pineapple Remote Control's mushroom shaped design is stable and unlikely to be misplaced or lost.

* It has a triangular base that prevents it from rolling.
* It is easy to use while on a flat surface because the ball can be turned to control the channels and volume.

Question: What was the main goal of the Pineapple Remote Control meeting?

Response:
The main goal of the Pineapple Remote Control meeting was to evaluate the prototype and determine if it met the project requirements, especially the budget of twelve Euros and fifty cents.

'Kay. Hmm. Okay everybody. Welcome to the detailed design meeting. Um Let's see. Our agenda. Last time we discussed the squishy fruitiness of our remote controls and how we might pursue that. Um and I think looks like we've come up with some ideas. Um and we also talked about materials we'd use and what kind of chip would be necessary. Um so for later in the meeting I've done a a spreadsheet of production costs so we'll take a look at that. Um and see if it's changed at all from when we last discussed it. Um so actually I think Yeah um f you guys wanna give a prototype presentation of.

Okay well um. So our design looks something like this. This being the wheel that you use to uh change channels or volume or whatever. This is a button, serves as the power button if you hold it down, and if you just tap on it I think it brings up the menu. And uh the base of the remote control, which has a squishy spongy rubbery feel, is interchangeable. So you can change the colour, according to your to suit your living room or whatever. And it comes.

You could change the vegetable, or fruit.

yeah, I can change the vegetable.

Oh is that broccoli?.

This one's broccoli.

Yeah.

So this snaps off and you can put on whichever one you want. This is not to scale'cause it would have the battery inside it. This is a mango.

The it's trendy fruit, it's not just ordinary fruits.

You don't have orange, you have mango. Um I guess strawberry's not as trendy, but.

'S a very bright strawberry..

So we'll come up with a variety of trendy and exciting fruit designs for the remote control. And then people will be encouraged to buy three or five of them, because they'll need to switch'em out.

It's been a l

It's been a little bit difficult to um make sure that it's hand-holdable, and that the user can use it, you know, it's not too big. Uh but we think that this you know, this size will be okay and we will have to fit the battery case in there somehow.

Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah.

And I guess the only other thing that we really didn't talk about was or design yet actually, would be the um thing the locator. How how so.

Well the locator is just chip that's inside there.

Okay so that's just.

And the beeper's also inside there too somewhere

So you have to have a button on your on your you have to attach the button to the.

Yeah we didn't design that.

Yeah we have that that has yes yet to be designed.

But it would be coordinating with that of course.

Yeah that c hey that that could you know match the handset.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

You could have a broccoli, or you could have a mango..

So. Tada.

Oh. Um if you wanna look in your project documents folder, there's an Excel spreadsheet. Um the only one that's in there, production costs. And if you open it up. Um I've just stuck the numbers in, it was a real challenge there. But if I missed anything that we've gone over, or if you see something that has changed.

I mean, we decided on batteries, and the regular chip would be necessary for the more advanced iPod-like button. Um I said uncurved or flat. I think that's what you have there, is that right? For the for the plastic part would be.

My impression was that flat meant like like one of those square remotes.

Oh. Okay.

But it's really not very clear, because you got single curve and double curve and d I dunno what that means.

Right.

One side is curved and then the other side is curved.

Well yeah. If we're talking about the area just oh I d I dunno. I guess we'd have to contact the company that makes them and see.

Um so what else? There's plastic for that area around the button. Um and then rubber would be the squishy like thing right?

Mm-hmm.

Um and lots of special colours actually. Uh scroll wheel. Do you see anything that I've missed?

No I think that's alright.

Okay so that would make our total of eleven point nine, which is even less than twelve point five, which means we'd be making even more of a profit.

And if we sold a lot of squishy things.

Mm.

Boo yeah. Okay. S So Mm. Did y what did you work on? The.

Um evaluation criteria.

Okay. Do you wanna.

I've got a presentation.

Okay. I think that's.

So I need where's the cable? Right what happens is we have to um decide whether this this whole this whole project we've been working on actually um meets the standards we were set at the start. Um. Right. This doesn't okay. Um the method is we well I've analysed the user requirements and integrated them to the trends found in marketing reports and in our company strategy marketing. And um the findings were that we need it to look in a certain way, feel in a certain way, and this is everything's listed down. Um, look in a certain way, feel in a certain way, it has to be technologically innovative and it has to be easy to use. These are all things we looked at at the start, um and criteria that have to be met. We have to use a table, I'll show you that later, together to decide whether it meets the standards. And we we have therefore in total um We have five we have eleven points according to which this should be evaluated. And um the cri well basically the findings are the same as the evaluation criteria. I would like to show you the table we have to use. Um. No. This is the table. Can you see this here?

Mm-hmm.

Um so the que the questions I've given you c could you write that down? True is one and and false is seven. And we'll just go through each point together, hopefully. Um. I think if each of us gives an opinion then they can be mixed somehow.

I dunno how it works exactly, I haven't been told.

Yeah. Is it possible that we can bring this up on our own.

Yeah it's in the um it's in the project documents.

Is it meeting three minutes? No it's not minutes.

It's called evaluation criteria.

Okay.

And it's under evaluation.

Huh, the PowerPoint one?

Hmm?

Okay. Cool.

Yeah. You've found it all?

Yeah.

So it was um Yeah true's one.

True's one and false is seven.

Do you want us to discuss this together or do you want us to do it singly?

Um we can do it separately and then discuss it

Yeah okay.

if if that's what people wanna do.

So it's actually a scale.

Wait, one is true and.

Um,

so these are the questions we're answering. And one is.

yes it's if it's fancy you put one,

One, right okay.

if it's really unfancy it's seven.

If it's somewhere in between you put four.

Yeah, something.

Okay.

Okay. Does it feel fancy?

Feels like play-dough.

No..

They shouldn't really be questions. Should be more like Are the batteries easy to insert?.

I'm gonna say yes..

Yes? Very very true. Okay.

I imagine they're somewhere on the front. We have a little case that you slip'em in.

Okay.

Are we just about ready?

Apparently I'm supposed to use the whiteboard. Do we um is it necessary?

I don't think so. It's.

We'll just do um.

yeah the the marker thing kinda stopped working last time we.

Yeah. Okay.

Our animals will forever be there.

Yeah. Okay.

Un unless you feel you need it t to.

I don't feel any.

okay okay.

We'll.

right um Right so one point one? We'll just go in a circle.

'Kay

One.

Five.

Right. Ooh I don't know.

Right. One?

Five.

Five.

Five.

Two. Okay so do we just add it up and divide it by four? Is that what the company does?

I I think we should.

It's four if you wanna do that.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It adds to sixteen, so that's four.

Oh no. It adds to thirteen. One five five two.

Oh I thought she said five.

Hmm.

One five five two is thirteen, over four for now. I think that's um next?

Um three.

Six.

Six.

Really?.

Yeah..

Two.

I wasn't cheating I swear.

Uh-oh. Right. One point three is.

So it's a one was true and seven was false?

Uh.

Huh?

Okay, so you guys really didn't like it?

Yeah.

Oh I thought it was the other way round.

Wait a minute.

I really.

I thought it was the other way round too.

So we do have about the same thing, we just have it the other way.

Well uh.

Sh Yeah I I was thinking one means no points, you know, all the way up to the top.

Yeah yeah. It was one is true and false is seven.

I should've kept the table up.

Oh gosh. Okay. Well.

I'll just I'll just reverse them all. It's no problem.

Yeah.

Right, well I'm glad this came out.

Yeah..

I thought you guys hated it..

I was like, why did you guys design it that way if you hated it?.

Yeah.

Yeah..

No. Oh that's quite funny.

Okay.

Okay..

Yeah.

Okay. So, starting again, one point one?

One.

Say two.

Three.

Two. Okay, one point two?

Uh three.

Two.

Two.

Two. Okay. Um, one point three?

One.

One.

One.

Ha. Two point one?

Two.

Uh two.

Uh two.

Two point I think I missed two. Wait, is that two point one?

Yeah I put it down as one point four for some reason.

Yeah.

One point four, one point five. Okay right

Oh dear, okay. Sorry.

that's I have two of them.

Mine has all kinds of problems.

Two and one.

Sorry about that. T two point two, which is one point five.

One.

Uh three. Wait why did I put three?

Uh one.

I meant one on mine too.

Okay. Three point one. Is that correct on my slide?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Uh one.

Three point one. I have four.

Three.

One, four, three, three, three point two?

Three.

Three.

Uh. One.

Three point three.

One.

One.

Two.

Four point one?

One.

Two.

Five.

Two. Four point two.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Two and four point three.

Two.

One, two.

One.

Two.

Right so I put one on that.

Okay I'll um I'll just do the calculations now if you want to continue.

Okay. Um.

Or is it tedious? I'm I'm sorry this was so tedious for everyone.

No no that's um I think we should look at the ones that like where s where people said four, where um it looks like we might wanna discuss changing an aspect of the remote.

I didn't know how else to do it. Okay. Well the worst ones were three point one.

Mm-hmm.

Do does every ones have the slide?

The.

Three point one.

that was material.

Slide show. Material technologically innovative, okay. Um,

Mm.

do you want to change it? What are the suggestions? I don't know, anyone?.

Um.

Which one is that again sorry? Three point one?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah that it's three point one was not that good. Four point one.

Does the shape.

The shape.

I think.

Four point two?

See I'm having I'm having trouble imagining the is it uh gonna be the size, like the the controller? It or bigger?

I think the wheel would probably be mm.

Because.

What if we just smash all the vegetables down flat?

And like then it you could hold it in your hand better.

I think the base would definitely be larger,'cause some of these are not as easy to hold. They're kinda smallish.

Yeah. No but I imagine even if it was bigger, like if it's round and it's big then you you can't get that's why remote controls are long because you have that thumb kind of.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The flat one. Yeah.

so c they could all be bananas and cucumbers.

Yeah.

Um but I don't s I I personally don't think this is comfortable to to sit there, like it's an awkward position.

I didn't yeah. But like if if you just squash them flat like and you made it flat.

Well if they're that s uh stress ball stuff they would be pretty squishable. Mm.

But it's still too big I think, in your hand. Yeah.

Yeah. And would it even resemble fruit that way?

I mean.

Yeah like certain ones you'd have to limit the fruit selection,

Yeah.

like you could probably do a strawberry still.

Yeah.

I think the broccoli would be out.

You could do, although the broccoli is quite comfortable, I have to say, like sorta like a joystick.

Yeah that I I when you were holding that before, it actually looked yeah.

Yeah. That looked really good.

I don't know. So.

Are there any fruits that look like broccoli, no?

Uh.

Not that I can think of. Rhubarb..

Rhubarb.

I think that broccoli is my favourite actually.

These obscure fruits.

Yeah.

Uh despite the.

I think we needn't.

What if um the it was just patterns on like we we chose the shape or the sh shape could be whatever we wanted and then it would just be like a design on the rubber.

Huh?

You know like like just a printed yeah or coloured yeah.

Oh okay.

So it's just colour, and not necessarily the shape of a strawberry.

Yeah. That could work.

Yeah..

Or I mean we could even have fruit like around.

Yeah.

I mean.

Yeah. I dunno.

But if we if we need.

Yeah and just have the colour match or something.

yeah. And if we wanna incorporate the fruit thing somehow, there might be.

I mean if it if it in if it uh conflicts with the comfort of actually holdi holding the.

Yeah.'Cause yeah no-one wants to hold a remote that's uncomfortable obviously.

Mm..

Mm.

Or like I dunno, some of'em you can kind of think see as like.

like you could if it was only this you know, if it was shaped like that, and it just had that. But you see the problem is you have to attach that, and this has to be detachable.

Yeah. Yeah.

So like maybe that's just too big

Well see th the reason the broccoli works is you can kinda hold it like that,

because.

which is a nice kind of.

Yeah it's sorta like a joystick.

Yeah.

yeah. But.

I dunno.

I mean is there some way we could make it this kind of shape?

I guess.

'Cause like kind of.

We could make it that shape but just have different colours, and call'em the different fruits.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or like even.

Dif

We went with shape because we were having fun with the play-dough.

Or even like Yeah like you said, like a joystick like that. You know?

Yeah. Yeah. Like uh we could do I'm trying to think of other sha like fruits that are oddly shaped.

'Cause that, I think I mean that fits the whole round iPod idea.

Yeah.

And you still have the comfort of holding it like that.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Mm.

And you could like if it's like this, you could put fruit designs and stuff on that part.

Yeah. Yeah. Alright.

But I mean it do we have any other ideas about that?

Um.

We could tr I don't know.

Think the critical ones came out to be yeah that one.. Batteries easy to insert for some reason,

which can be easily I think that's not a problem any more.

The batteries are going in the back?

That everyone gave that a one or a two. Yeah they'd probably be either on the front or the side of the remote.

No.

The reason I I ga I didn't give it a one I think I gave it a three because I thought you'd have to like unc clip.

No I imagine there'd be sort of a hatch door,

no you could Just like any other one. Okay. Yeah.

yeah um like on a normal remote.

Right.

So it would probably either in the f no it can't be in the front'cause the I_R_'s right there, but it'd be on one of the sides probably.

Okay.

I think everyone's under three anyway.

Mm.

So I think it's yeah those are the only two points.

Cool. Well Yeah the broccoli I guess wins.

Yeah I'd agree with changing the shape.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, I was just having fun making strawberries and stuff..

We were a bit off task.

Um so uh I can't think of any So we'll have to like Mm.

Yeah I dunno. You could make the touch pad in th in different shapes, but then that kind of re-designs the whole project like,

It might also sort of annoy people if we get used to having the buttons in one shape.

but you could do like Yeah that's true.

Yeah. And it would probably cost more to produce,'cause they're irregular.

Yeah. Yeah that's true. Mm.

I bet having different colours is a lot cheaper than having different shapes too.

Yeah. Which is why printing might be like just printing the fruit on fruit.

Hmm.

Mm. Not really Well we've done finance evaluation criteria, production evaluation. Um so project evaluation.

Do you want this and we can all No.

I guess we're supposed to discuss um the prod the process of the project and how satisfied oh, oh it's alright. Uh. Yeah.

It's alright yeah?

Um Did you feel there was a lot of room for creativity in the sort of.

Sure.

Yeah.

I did.

I mean fruit and squishiness. How c more creative can you get?.

Yeah.

Sponginess..

The prototype making was very creatively stimulating

and I think we've come up with a product that's fun and meets all the criteria.

And how was our leadership and teamwork?.

I think it was good. We knew what we were doing. It was a very democratic process and everyone got to contribute.

Well I thought my leadership was crap personally.

Well you told us when to start and when to end, and that's all that matters.

Excuse me, am I allowed to say that? Yeah. Um.

I think you were fine.

Yeah, well I'm never gonna do a management position, I know that now.

You did a good job leading.

Um yeah, I thought we all worked very well together.

Yeah we didn't we uh it all c sort of blended quite well.

Yeah.

Yeah I think it more than anything we didn't really have our set roles so much, as we just would be like I don't know, all had ideas about it but.

Yeah. Very democratic. No spats, that was good.

yeah.

No..

Um and the means for like the materials we used, how convenient were they? Like the the pens, the whiteboard,

I mean we used.

Well I'm not a big fan of any Microsoft, PowerPoint or any of this stuff.

Are you a Mac person?.

No no I never touch Macs either.

I just use the Unix or the off market, sort of WordPerfect and all these other things.

Huh.

Hmm.

Which isn't very user-friendly though..

Yeah. Well the problem is if you don't like my new computer never has WordPerfect so I have to go track someone down who has an old disk and then I have to reinstall it. So I have all these documents I can't use now. But yeah I mean I guess it's okay.

I felt like my I dunno if it was just my role, but l but uh I di I thought that my the information that was available to me was kind of just like or maybe it was just the idea that we had. But there's kinda it was kinda like okay, I don't really think I dunno what I'm doing here.

Mm.

So I didn't really think it was helpful. So I kind of just made up my own stuff and I didn't really like the PowerPoint presentations,

Yeah.

so I kind of wrote a lot of notes instead.

Yeah.

But yeah I d I don't really like PowerPoint personally, think it's kinda stupid.

Yeah. I never use it.

Yeah but uh.

I can't say I found everything particularly helpful. Like I.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It didn't really yeah.

It.

My first bit of information was like this child's drawn picture of how a remote works.

I though it was brilliant no?.

Really?.

No mine was really helpful as in my stuff was quite helpful I think.

I mean m my problem.

Yeah it probably does.

So like a f

I think it depends on the role

yeah, yeah.

Yeah I think so.

no?

'Cause my problem was, you guys had access to like they'd put send you to sites and stuff right?

Yeah.

See I couldn't do that, so I didn't really know what you guys were doing. And when you were talking about it I was just like.

you know that's wh that's why I seemed so ignorant when when you were j explaining things,

'cause I.

Yeah well mine was mostly made up except when they told me like you know titanium costs more than wood to make a remote control.

Yeah. Yeah.

As if you'd wanted to.

Yeah. But it must have been quite difficult for them to build a whole um

System. Yeah.

a whole system,

'cause of course they can't give you uh uh anything comparable to the internet for the.

Yeah.

Yeah I mean, it.

Well I think it's interesting how it all went together, like I had the stuff about how me how rubber's cheap, and you have how people want it to be spongy, and.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, huh.

It seems planned you know.

Yeah..

Yeah I kinda thought that um I felt like I would go and like try to use my information, or like I'd make this stupid little presentation and then like I just would end up talking about something completely unrelated

because.

Yeah.

I dunno I felt like I was off-task all the time. But um.

Well I mean we really got into talking about like personal practicalit like it wasn't necessarily what was like we would never have thought of fruit or sponginess you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

No..

So it's.

If I hadn't been told that fruit was.

But I think that it it might be to see whether people actually all come up with the same thing.

Oh right. given certain information or Just.

Yeah, like if everyone's given the same input.

yeah.

I don't have a clue, anyway.

Mm, mm.

Um what's next? Looks like oh no that's not um.

What do you guys think of the pens?

It's quite.

It asks about that.

They're pretty cool.

Mm.

I wanna s

They're kinda hard to write with though.

Yeah

Yeah.

and I I've f forgotten once or twice to check the box..

I I'd like to see what what it looks like on the.

They're nicer than the pen that I'm using, because like your stuff actually shows up here, rather than having to look at the screen and write.

Mm.

But even so, I dunno.

And new ideas found?

Yeah it's all very new,

Yeah.

no? It's all very new.

Yeah I think I'd like to um I dunno. Like it was the.

Sorry.

I think the microphones are okay when you're sitting down, but like they're kinda clumsy I guess when you're like when you're s going up to the whiteboard like.

Oh yeah. Well they drop off if you like move too much.

Yeah I dunno. But they're they're okay.

But I don't think we're supposed to be testing these microphones. Maybe we are.

Mm.

I don't know..

Uh I think, and I think that uh all this technology like I guess some people must be interested in using it but I can't imagine finding it any more useful than like looking at someone's notes,

Yeah.

Well the thing is, like I actually worked in a company,

or like I dunno.

and I had a role and I had to go to meetings. And like the last thing I would have wanted would be to have to watch a video'cause I missed a meeting. Like usually I missed meetings deliberately.

There's just there's really not that much information that actually goes through a real meeting, like when you're actually at a real meeting in a real company.

Yeah.

It's mostly like rehashing old stuff.

Hm.

And you're sort of going over general stuff that anybody who's sort of on task should already know.

Yeah.

It's like the there's just really not a lot of information that goes through.

Seems kind of like an excessive reiteration.

It seems like way overkill.

Yeah.

Like if I missed a meeting I could probably get it summed up in like one sentence.

Yeah.

I wouldn't need to have to watch like a t two hour video with the sound and the transcript and.

Yeah.

I guess it would be it's gotta be worth it to I'cause I'm just mostly curious about like what kind of person or like company would would really find it useful,'cause can't really imagine, dunno. How about a p a?

Um I dunno.

Well does anyone wanna talk about fruit more while we still have time?.

Any other ideas for.

What what's the end? Are we are we supposed to um you supposed to write a report? Or we ending?

Um we still have time if there's any other input.

Is that the end?

I mean the I think we did really well personally, which is why we've you know, gone through this so quickly.'Cause I mean we've all we all kind of agreed our product is satisfactory, it fits the budget, and it's trendy.

Yeah.

So. Um.

End of meeting. You have to tell her, she.

So I think that's all for today..

Okay we have to fill in all this stuff.

M meeting adjourned.

Stuff stuff stuff.

Meeting adjourned.

Yeah.

I think I've learned not to bring play-dough to meetings..

Yeah..

I think it would be a good idea, I like it..

It's hard enough to get people actually paying attention. Especially if you have food.

So I guess we're supposed to write final reports.'Cause.

All of us?

I don't know. Hmm.

Well there's al eight, nine.

Ooh. Oh ooh.

Hmm. Or is that just me?.
