I'm proud of it..

Okay. This is our final meeting, the detailed design meeting. And again I'll take minutes. The what we have to get through in this meeting is firstly the prototype presentation from you two, so you can show us what you've been working on so diligently.

Yeah.

It does look very cool.

Um then

then Cat's going to present the evaluation criteria that we're going to be evaluating this against.

Then I need to say some st a few things about finance,'cause we have to check that it's within the finance criteria. Um and then we'll be making sure that our product fits both the evaluation criteria from Cat and the financial limits. Um and then we uh will have a brief evaluation of the whole process of production and design that we've been through. So we've got forty minutes. S

And then do we get to make a remote control?

'Cause we missed out.

Yeah.

So

it's now I guess that we're supposed to start at fifteen thirty five, so we've got until four fifteen.

Uh-huh. How how much do we have, forty minutes?

Is that right?

Yeah, about four fifteen, yeah.

Yeah,

Yeah.

Yeah.

until about four fifteen. So yeah..

Okay, so.

Go for it. Do you want.

So, you said um are are we starting with the the.

Yes.

Presentation.

so will you maybe start with like the mm the shape and things and and then I will explain the the user interface th uh things, like the buttons and the scrolling things and.

Okay. Okay. So um basically going with our trend of vegetables and we selected the colour and approximate shape of banana.

You think bananas are a safe thing to use?

Um.

It's a bit um phallic.

Yeah. Um.

Well, but it's it's just an a approximation..

Dual use, perfect.

Yeah..

Dual use, perfect.

Oh, your remote control? Oh that's just bad..

Does it vibrate when you press the buttons?

Um so basically it's the it's the flip open thing again.

Sorry, sorry.

So now we we have the okay,

Mm-hmm.

so Ma Maarika will explain you the user interface there. And it flips open on the side, so it opens like that. And we have the user interface o in here

Mm-hmm. Wow.

and uh the the L_C_D_ and and the scroll are inside. Um well, everything else is probably user interface, so. Yeah, yeah.

And it's the whole thing's made of rubber, is that.

Uh yeah.

Oh yeah. Yeah, it has, yeah.

Rubber.

Is it to scale, or do you think you can make it a bit smaller?

Yeah,. Um it could be made a bit smaller, and and of course it would be and.

Yeah.

yeah, but um one thing we actually kind of um forgot while designing, that one side was supposed to be rounder,

Yeah,

so we said the back side round, yeah.

well, but i since it's made of rubber anyway. I I think it's it's uh.

Mm-hmm.

It l does look like the curvy

Yeah.

and then the whole shape's curvy, so I would say that this curvy does look quite like a vegetable.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm. Hmm.

Yeah. And it's spongy as well..

I wasn't very keen on that, but yeah..

So so uh the user interface as as we discussed last time uh mm on on the on the cover we just have the very basic things.

Huh. Mm-hmm.

So we have that n uh channels here starting from um uh one two three there would be numbers in in the on the actual one.

Yeah.

So it's four, up to four, up to seven, up to nine and zero, z zero here.

Six seven eight nine. I like that.

Yeah. And then, well this is on off button. It's it's quite standard mm place for it and and also the colour is quite often red, so it's it's kind of user friendly.

Yeah.

And then these ones would be for flipping the channels back and like the previous one and the next one.

Uh-huh.

And and we would also have a l little um thing saying here, previous and ne prevon prevon next.

So where's the volume?

Yeah.

The volume is is scrolling.

It's on the side.

On the side,

Ah, you did get that in then,

this one. Yeah you just do it like this.

mm-hmm.

And and and it's it's on the back is mm cover or back lid, because if you flip it open, you can still do the scrolling here.

Oh okay,.

Mm-hmm.

See? So the volume is you just scroll, but then once you flip it open, okay, there there you have the screen

Yeah.

and and you have the mm spinning wheel with options to choose.

Mm-hmm.

You can move back and forth and then if you need to m choose something on the screen, you just push the cen mm the middle button.

Mm-hmm.

Cool. Oh, the thing we forgot was like a mute button.

Uh no, we we'd not put.

A mute button.

Yeah.

so on on the cover we have the the bare essentials.

Well, we'll have this on the screen, on the display.

Y or you could have it so you on the wheel if you.

On the wheel, like if you hold the wheel down then it will mute.

Uh on the L_C_D_ we r you know, the main menu will have various options.

Well, but the but the mute yeah, the scrolling is kind of you have to scroll all the way to make it mute, right?

But if you hold it in,

Mm.

Yeah, but it's a scroll and click, isn't it?

if it's a scroll and click so you hold it in?

Okay, cool.

Okay, yeah, okay.

So that that solves the whole mute issue.

Mm.

Yeah. And okay, so i so the the voice recognition is also just part of it.

no.

You can't really see it in the interface.

Yeah, it's hidden in there somewhere.

Yeah. And we do have the logo on it as well.

Mm-hmm, very good.

So I think it.

And it's with the the black and yellow you're even in the right colours.

Yeah.

Cool.

Yeah, I think um we could do l the logo in grey, as it is on the website.

Mm-hmm.

We ran out of resources here, so..

Yeah.

In the actual one.

Yeah..

You can have a look..

So if you have questions.

Very good, let's have a look.

Test it out..

Uh it's a sort of intermediate colour, I guess.

Yeah, oh, we hold the remote.

Oh, but it it does feel all cold and slimy.

I hate Play-Do, it's just minging.

But yeah, uh that's cool, cool.

Very good.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so maybe if we go on to evaluation cri criteria

Okay.

and then we'll there.

Yeah, see the budget.

I suspect we're gonna have a couple of minor finance issues, but um we'll se I'm sure we can get around them somehow.

We'll just send all of our manufacturing to some nice poor country

and cut some of the prices that way.

Wales..

Wales, for example..

Mm. Cool, okay. Right, okay. Fabulous,

Marketing Expert.

yeah. Okay, cool. So what we're gonna do is prefer prepare the evaluation of the new design. Um so we're gonna be using a seven point scale,

Mm-hmm.

so one is, you know, yes, it totally meets with that requirement and seven is, no, it really doesn't, we need to go back and start again. Um, you know. Basically, what I did was I went through all the like user requirements and things that we've done and we've worked on and like made a list of them. Um you know, so that we can evaluate each one and like so it was about going back to the start and saying oh yeah, we did manage to do that, or oh no, we really forgot about that.

Yeah.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

Cool, so these are what they are. Oh.

So for each of these we need to give it a one to seven. Is that right?

Yes, I did have A_, B_, C_, and D_ down here, but it seems to have turned into like just bullet points.

Mm dots, never mind.

Okay. But if you can imagine that they say A_, B_, C_, and D_, then that would be really good.

I guess we'll give it maximum points in everything..

Yeah, the yeah, it's definitely attractive..

Yeah, I agree.

Oh, the locatable thing we actually forgot.

Well, I thought we'd um kinda said that you'd have a little thing to stick on the T_V_?

Yeah, just prepare one now.

Yeah. Shall I just prepare it now?

Yeah.

It will be red, too.

Cool. Okay. So, be attractive to look at. That's this one. What do you all say?

So?

I reckon it.

S seven was th the maximum, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I I go for seven.

Yes.

Oh we're all so proud of the.

Seven, yeah, it's terribly sexy. Yeah.

Okay, so that'll be a seven for A_.

Could oh no, you can't whilst that's up there. Okay um uh what I've done on the next page is I've set it up so we just put the marks in.

Ah, okay.

Okay.

Excellent. Except we can't.

Yeah.

But we can we can.

But that's alright.

uh we can if we.

I can I can take note uh uh.

If you take a note of them, and then I'll put them in in a minute.

then yeah, I'll take a note, it's fine.

Okay, so we're all agreeing on seven for A_?

Yeah.

Cool, okay. Does it match the operating behaviour of the user?

Um the the only thing that we were considering was that uh this thing is kind of more for right-handed people than for left-handed people,

I think it does.

I would think yes, yeah.

Yeah. I mean.

so if you're left-handed you're kind of left uh scrolling with your finger.

Yeah,

Alright.

so y so we we might do we might want to do like a uh another m model another another version, which is like exactly the mirror image of this one.

Yeah.

But that's gonna be a problem,

But then yeah.

'cause you don't always have all left-handers or all right-handers in a family.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So bu it's it's not a huge problem,

I th I think it's not it's not like it's a pen.

because i i it is operatable.

But then then I think left-handed people are already used to discrimination anyway,

Yeah.

so they just.

Yeah, but I mean because it's not like it's a pen, you know, left-handed people can't normally write right-handed,

Yeah.

but they can normally do most things right-handed,

Yeah.

Right.

so I would say it's not such a big issue.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, because I mean anyway, right-handed people would be able to scroll with it,

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean you can you can use your finger to to scroll rather than your thumb.

Yeah.

so i if the majority are right-handed, it's uh.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

So I mean that does kind of negate the whole R_S_I_ issue.

Yeah.

Mm.

So maybe we need to put that needs a little bit of investigation, maybe give it a five, I would say?

Um.

What do you what do you all think?

Mm.

Six.

Or maybe six, because it's just one one i one among the issues,

Yeah, I think I think for um.

I mean. Yeah.

I mean most people are right-handed, so in in terms of our greatest target group, I think it's pretty good, but we might want to flag it for management, they want might want to um.

Yeah.

One more thing is that i

Okay.

It might be a little clumsy when when it opens up, right,

They.

so it opens on the side. So.

Mm-hmm.

No, yeah, but mm but we have it nicely with the hinges here yeah.

Yeah yeah yeah, I mean yeah.

Yeah.

So it won't be a problem,

Yeah. Yeah.

So you guys can decide wh whether.

it will be and it will be it won't be heavy.

Oops.

I th I think the alternative is flipping from the top.

Yeah, but we which makes it kind of really big, yeah.

Yeah well yeah,

The length is gonna be difficu

but it's it's a bit long. It's a little bit long.

Yeah um.

Well, I mean it can be opened like this of course and yeah.

But you were thinking about making it smaller, yeah?

Uh this this kind of uh makes it more.

Mm.

Because.

S uh slightly smaller.

and two, it might interfere with the I_R_ channel.

So you have to keep that side flat.

Yeah, but if we flip it open only as much as that.

Okay.

So it works like a mobile phone flipping, but y you know, as long as that side's flat, than that will work.

Right. Okay.

Okay. Um okay, so C_. Are are we admitting defeat on C_ or are we saying we're gonna stick a locator on the T_V_?

No, we have a locator.

No, we're gonna put it like we've got th there's the locator dot.

There's a locator. Cool, so that means you need a that does mean you need a little speaker on it though,

Mm that you stick on T_V_.

Mm.

doesn't it? To make it beep.

Yeah.

Or a buzzer.

Yeah.

Yeah well w but l but the speak sample speaker is included, so it it has some capacity to mm to do some to make some sounds, so yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

So that's two, so that's seven, yeah. It's locatable?

Yep.

Fabulous. D_.

Intuitive, completely intuitive..

Yeah. If uh uh if this means intuitive, if it means the way people kind of are used to finding things

Yeah.

and it's I th I think it's.

I'd say six,'cause the I mean the the standard layout for numbers is three three three and one, rather than the way you've got it. I really like the way you have it,

Yeah.

but it's not the immediate thing that you're used to.

Intuitive.

Yeah, and I mean d

And uh even the scroll, it's a it's a new technology

So.

so m m might be a little more difficult for people to get used to in the beginni

Might be.

so it is kind of not very intuitive but uh it's a good technology, I mean once they get used to it.

But it and it's something that they will be experiencing in a lot of different places soon.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, should we maybe say f a five

So l

and say it is intuitive,

Five?

but it's different, so, do you know, I mean it's obvious how to use it,

Yeah.

but you might have to think about it first. So we give that one a five, you think?

Yeah, okay. I'm gonna give a seven in everything, so..

Yep.

I'm happy with five?

Yeah.

Yeah..

I'm glad you're accepting this. It has taken a little while, hasn't it? Um intuitive but Sorry, it's really hard to write on those.

Mm..

I just went a bit mad, didn't I?

Um okay, cool, E_, okay. Um I would guess this comes back from this whole B_ thing links in here, so possibly for left-handed. Investigate.

Yep. But otherwise it's superb.

So, should we give it a six?

Six.

Six?

Um uh the ergonom ergonomic design.

Yeah.

well mm I mean I d uh I dunno, I mean the the repetitive stress things,

but then who would be really pushing the buttons so much on the on the remote control anyway,

Yeah. Yeah, unless you are a all the time sitting.

yeah? See.

Yeah.

Yeah, so it's kinda.

Yeah, I I think it is ergonomic.

I used to send fifty texts a day, you know,

Well we've banned them from.

and I never got repetitive strain injury from that,

Mm yeah.

so I find it quite hard to believe to be honest.

And moreover it it has um L_C_D_ and everything,

Yeah.

so that uh you know uh we minimise the pressing of the buttons anyway.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's varied.

Okay, so we give that a six,

Yeah. Six?

yeah. Okay, F_.

Yeah, it does have yeah.

Absolutely.

Voice control have seven.

Hang on, how come it's showing up with the things there but it only had bullet points there? That's just.

Ah, that's the second one. So you must have changed it on this one where it's got score, but not on the previous slide.

Oh okay, cool. Um right, so.

So it has voice control.

Yes, so that's a seven then.

Yep.

Um, cool.

G_ technologically innovative.

Anyway it ha yeah,

Technologi well.

it's the most sophisticated remote that I ever seen..

But in terms of the actual technology, none of it is actually new.

Yeah. Well mm we have we have the sample speaker as well, which is yeah, it's kind of new.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I mean you don't.

All of the components have been used in other things before.

Yeah, but they've been brought together in a remote.

But at the same time they are all they are all relatively new.

They're never been used i they've never been using remote remote control before I don't think.

But do yeah, yeah. Yeah.

What do you reckon, five, six?

Yeah, what do you all think?

Six.

Yeah.

Six?

I mean how how far can you go with a remote control, really?

Yeah.

Well, that's it, I mean.

It still has to do what i what it has to do.

Yeah, but I mean everything has been used in space before it gets to anyone else really, hasn't it?

So, I don't think many peop

Space remote.

That's it, they can take it with them.

Put fashion in electronics.

Absolutely..

Yeah, isn't it fashionable?

The carrot banana remote..

Yeah, sure.

It's the maximum fashion.

So, we give it seven, and we write.

Fruit fruit and vegetables are fashionable these days, so.

There we go.

I think that's a.

So I think we've done very well, but.

Yeah.

Cool.

Very good.

What's the assessment?

So, we need the average here, so we got.

The average is about six and something.

Yeah, one.

A little bit over six.

Seven.

There are how many sixes?

Or a seven.

One, two, three.

So we've got four sevens,

No, wait, a little bit under six.

so that's twenty eight,

Three.

No, wait.

three sixes,

And one five.

eighteen.

Oh, three sixes, okay, yeah.

Fifty one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Okay, twenty eight, thirty eight, fo forty six. Forty six and five, fifty one.

Six point point.

Fifty one divided by.

Six point something, yeah.

Two three four Seven eight.

about six point five.

Six point five, yeah.

Close enough.

Okay, that's pretty good, I think..

Now wait until we get to finance and then we'll see if we can afford it.

That's all you've got at the moment, or did you have anything more?

Um no, that's it,

That's it?

yeah.

Alright. So, finance. And we'll see if we can unscrew this first.

Cool, there we go.

Sorry, this is I'm just um.

. There we go and there are the marks.

Beautiful.

Yeah.

Not anymore.

Computer no signal?

Mm I guess it'll have to wait for a bit.

Adjusting. There we go. Okay, so we've looked at the prototype presentation and the evaluation criteria. And now we have to calculate the production costs. So I've got an Excel spreadsheet to help us do that. Can you read that? Almost.

More or less. Um I started filling it in, but of course these are provisional, so we have to go down. No hand dynamo, right?

Yeah.

One simple battery.

Yeah.

Mm.

No kinetic energy, no solar. The chip, we're going for an advanced chip on print.

Advanced, yeah.

We also said the sample sensor and sample speaker.

Yep.

Um single-curved surface, so that we can fold it.

Yeah, yes.

Case material we said rubber.

Rubber.

Yep.

I don't know what special colour means.

Mm anything uh I think which is not more.

I think something coloured, yeah, probably. So I think this is probably special co no?

Yeah.

It could be.

Yeah, but rubber comes coloured, doesn't it? You know.

Rub rubber comes coloured,

Yeah.

it's I would maybe it's like if you want titanium coloured or wood coloured, it's different.

Or maybe maybe if you want some kind of pattern thing on it,

Yeah, let's leave it as zero,'cause it's easy..

yeah yeah, okay.

Yeah,

Yeah.

you might end up having to take off the sample sensor.

We we're definitely going to have to.

We have pushbuttons,

Mm.

so we've got pushbutton, and then we've

scro we have scroll wheel as well.

Scroll wheel with pushbutton we had, no?

No uh we we have uh yeah.

S yeah, yeah, we had, for muting, yeah.

Yeah.

And we have L_C_ display

And button supplements.

and yeah.

Mm no.

Um.

. No.

We don't have.

No. No?

we're not using any of that.

Yeah, but what do we ha we have L_C_ display, but but the wh but the s spinning wheel.

But the the spinning wheel's not there. I have think maybe it's integrated with the L_C_ display?

Yeah.

We've got more than one pushbutton though,

Okay, let's yeah.

haven't we?

I think the pushbutton oh.

'Cause then you have.

I don't know if that's one.

That means you can only have twenty five push buttons in total doesn't it? Not counting anything, we'd still be in budget.

Yeah. That seems unlikely.

Huh?

Push what uh

Wh wh what is the limit? Uh.

Twelve point five.

whether whether pushbutton means that p count by button or do we.

We have to count all of them, or yeah.

Mm I don't think so, no.

I don't think that makes sense.

No.

No it says what what is the kind of interface,

Well it doesn't, but it uh.

No.

if it is pushbutton then you got a zero point five, it's a scroll wheel so we we've put it's pushbutton and scroll wheel and L_C_D_ display,

Yeah. Yeah.

And L_C_ display.

so that's that's the three kind of interfaces that we have.

Yeah. Yeah. So, as we can see, that's way too expensive down here.

Wh wh what's our criteria?

This sample sensor.

Our budget's twelve point five.

Uh okay.

Yeah, the sample sensor will have to go,'cause that's the most expensive thing on there.

Yeah, so that has implications though for the.

Uh it does not have for voice recognition, but it does have for the feedback speaker. when you say when you press one it says one or it says hello.

Yeah.

For the locator.

But that's a bit of a gimmick anyway really, isn't it?

Mm and the locator also goes away.

Yeah.

We can afford to get rid of it.

But it was very no innovative

Yeah.

So that means no locator, does it?

innovativeness. Well um yeah.

I mean does.

What else does it need?

Well the speaker uh the sample speaker is is expensive, but we could just have some some very very easy device that just beeps.

Yeah,'cause the sample speaker was, I think, more complicated then just a beeping thing.

This would be Yeah, yeah yeah.

Yeah.

there you record your samples your speech samples and.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, so we.

A also i in the case I'm not sure that you will evaluate this as a curved surface, because it's just rubber, so it's probably a flat surface rubber. Uh I mean uh um yeah.

Uh-huh.

Okay, yeah.

Um.

Right, so we need one fifty off.

See, I was gonna say the scroll wheel pushbutton thing,'cause.

Take it down to just a scroll wheel. We could do.

So tha that mean that we cannot press how do we how do we make a selection in uh in the L_C_D_?

Yeah, then then we would be in the b budget.

If in the L_C_D_ we can scroll, right? But how do we make a selection if we d cannot push the button.

Yeah b no no, you can push this one, but we don't have a pushbutton uh we ca we don't have this muting mechanism for this scrolling thing.

But that's well you would just have to to spin it down.

Yeah. You can have to scroll it straight r roll it straight down for for mute.

Mm-hmm.

No w w w but ha

So that's point three.

it's it's the scroll wheel and I thought we were referring to this as a scroll spinning wheel and pushbutton thing.

But I mean we can put an additional mute button on the top as well.

Yeah,

If you.

I mean that wouldn't actually cost any more. That's the spin wheel though, isn't it? Didn't that come with the L_C_.

That's with the L_C_

That comes with the L_C_D_?

Yeah.

We decided,'cause it's not on our list.

Oh so so the the this is.

Yeah.

Mm.

The scroll wheel is on the side.

. So we're adding costs for right, okay uh I mean I think this is good.

S so we're point three over.

So.

We're point three over at the moment.

Unless we just take off the scroll wheel altogether

It's nothing n

and just have pushbuttons for the volume. Could b still put them on the side. But yeah.

Yeah,

I mean the scroll wheel's pretty cool, but.

I have.

Instead of scrolling here we have two buttons here, up for up and down.

Yeah.

On the side.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm uh it sounds good actually, yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah.

Rather than having three different things that people have to do.

Okay.

There we go. Oh look, we're way under budget and we'll make huge profits and we'll all get bonuses.

Yeah, well we could admit to the single curve, couldn't we?.

Or or that we have to have some sort of special colour.

Yeah, but.

So that's alright. We we'll leave it at that.

Yeah.

and then I'll take I can send it back to management and say we weren't quite sure about the colour, if that costs extra then we've still got some space for it,

We have, yeah.

Yeah.

yeah.

Yeah.

Excellent. Alright. So did we lose um on our evaluation criteria, as a result of doing that?

No.

Not really, no.

No, I don't think so.

Because we keep all the features, we keep voice recognition, we keep L_C_D_ display.

Mm.

We instead of having scrolling we we just push the buttons.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We just got rid of a gimmick that was never anyway,

Um yeah.

Yeah.

and the scroll wheel is I mean essentially the two buttons that was it's not a great difference I don't think.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But we lose the locator.

Alright then.

Really?

We're gonna have a beep.

Well we're going to have a beeping thing.

So instead of speaker,.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's it's not like sample speaker, but it will just beep, so we still have the locate.

Yeah.

'Kay..

Cool. That's not a very exciting colour. I think you should make it more vegetable-like..

Tha

Which colour, the the colour of the phone or the colour of the.

Oh the the beeper thing.

It.

But it can be yellow as well. It can come in the same colour as the the case.

'Cause we we won't have run out of our pot of Play-Doh.

Yeah, I think Jen wants it to vibrate.

Yeah, I know I know, my pen vibrates.

You know, your pen vibrates?

Yeah..

But only for a very short time. Um okay. So looks like we've designed a banana.

Well done, team. Um we need we've just got about ten minutes or so left of the meeting, so it would be good if we could just have a little talk about the project itself and how it went, um so that we can feed back to the management for next time they're designing a product.

I think it mm.

Cool.

Feedback? Ideas?

Yeah mm, as far as creativity is concerned, yeah I think there was there was room for creativity. The only the only problem being that at the end we had to cut some things down because of the the budget we had.

Mm-hmm.

I think uh n one thing that was lacking uh was that we did not know what the various things cost to begin with.

Mm-hmm.

Um we kap kept a adding things randomly.

Yeah.

So, had we known.

Yeah.

If we'd had that sheet at the beginning should've been like, okay, so we can have that lot, let's just throw it together and do what we can.

Yeah, that or not, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. So d all the random decisions at the end could have been prevented.

Yeah.

Mm..

But in terms of the process of um going and working individually and then coming back to a meeting, that that worked in terms of.

Yeah, mm.

I think'cause the meetings were so regular, you know. It wasn't like we were alone for very long,

Mm-hmm.

so you didn't st go off and think, wouldn't it be great to have a vibrating remote control shaped like a banana,

Mm-hmm.

Banana..

and then, you know, come back three days later and Jen's going look, look, it vibrates and it looks like a banana.

Yeah..

Um yeah, so yeah.

Yeah, the m the means were very very good, the means we used.

Mm-hmm, the whiteboard digital pens.

And the pens..

Uh I like the pens.

We like the pens..

I want one. That would just be so cool, to d do all your notes and s

Yeah, you could take it to lectures and just write stuff down

Yeah yeah yeah,

and have it printed out when you got back to the office.

Yeah, yeah.

that's it's it's.

They great?

I wonder what one of these costs..

Do you think they'd notice if one went?

I don't think you should say that was the recording.

Oh okay.

Okay, cover up the microphone. Alright, let's take it..

Yep. Shh..

Yep.

Okay.

But that worked well having having a whiteboard that we could draw on as well as having the PowerPoint,'cause the I find that the problem with PowerPoint often is that it's so static and you can't change it once you're in there,

It is a bit limiting, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

yep.

Yeah, and and and this time also the time limits but actually preparing the.

Yeah. The thing flew in,

Mm-hmm.

you didn't have the whole whooshing thing,'cause there wasn't time for that, so yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. That's alright, that always irritates me anyway, yeah.

Not that you can do that on the board, either. We could make some little.

But yeah, but I mean already just just preparing the slides before before the meeting, yeah.

Yeah, totally, I mean that was fairly tight anyway, I mean especially with that last-minute alteration.

Mm. Yeah.

Yeah..

Mm yeah..

back it, this is just had to be changed

. And yeah, so cool.

Yeah.

Are we supposed to say nice things about Jen now?

And presumably you don't you can say nasty things as well.

Yeah.

I have no stake in it.

I was I was satisfied with with the leadership, yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

You weren't like a a dictating leader, so that was always good.

You have to say that,'cause I'm taking the notes.

I'll leave the room and you can have another go.

Mm-hmm.

I know you've got the pen, you might attack me with it..

Better than that than the banana.

And then the teamwork I think I think it worked quite quite nicely, yeah.

I think it worked quite well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did anyone feel that they were getting sort of covered up and not being able to say their bit?

To express them mm mm

Mm. I guess it was a fairly small group,

no.

so all of us got to express our opinions, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

. New ideas found. Not quite sure what about.

Well it's it's it's pretty new,

Mm.

Yeah..

pretty novel solution for a for a remote control really, all this flipping open thing and.

Yeah.

I don't know, I don't go shopping for remote controls that often, maybe somebody's already though of it.

Yeah, neither neither do I,

but I've never seen anything and and none of my examples were was was like this, actually, so.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I'll be looking out next time I need to write an essay.

Yeah, that's right..

That looks boring, I'll see if anyone's made a remote control.

Yeah maybe w maybe we could have a patent on this one.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah..

Patent patent patent. Mm.

I think we'd like to think the ideas were new,

Banana remote.

but we've got no way of finding out..

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Or you can always go to Google and type in banana remote control.

That vibrates.

Flip. Vibrate

Yeah, but that would just come up with like other things really wouldn't it.

. And uh yeah. Nothing that you really want..

True. Yeah. Okay. So, costs are within budget,

Yes.

Yes..

well within budget, including a little what have we got? One Euro left over for bits that we didn't foresee. Um we've evaluated the project.

Yes.

And it's fabulous.

You've got the scores. Can you put that in the project documents file?

It's in the project documents.

It's in there already. And the process wheel didn't really have any major problems with. Were there any was there anything that you found difficult, or anything that didn't go as smoothly as you'd hope?

And my main difficulty was the the time pressure.

Yeah.

Otherwise it's it's all fine.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, sometimes it's like a little bit rushed.

I thought that was good though, because if you're given too much time then you got nothing to do with your time and um yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Although we could have made the R_s better had we had five more minute..

Yeah.

Okay then. Um I think we're still well within our time.

Yeah, we've got like five minutes left.

We've got about five minutes left, but if we've finished, then we've finished. We're just too too efficient

Yeah.

We certainly are,

and you should never drag a meeting on just because you have extra time.

Yeah.

mm. Yeah.

Yes.

So I would say that's the end of that meeting.

'Kay.

Thank you, team.

Yeah, it was a pleasure working with you.

Yeah, same here..

It was very productive day and.

We could draw animals on the board again.

Mm uh no..

Mm uh no..

I don't think so..

You can make some animals.

I don't like Play-Doh, no.

Oh, you don't like anim

It's just minging. It smells so bad.

It doesn't?

It does.

Smells quite nice. Smells very sweet.

Mm.

Right, so we have to complete the final questionnaire and meeting summary when they send it.

Was there a questionnaire already sent?

I don't know if it's already sent or not.

No, it hasn't been.

Um presumably I have to.

Do we have to go back into the other room or can we stay in here now?

I don't see why you can't stay here, really.

Okay, so the other way..

Did I save this one? Production costs.

I made your animal for you.

It was supposed to be pink. But it was blue on the board.

Yeah, that's the one.

Question: Can you give me a summary of the meeting that just took place?

Response: The meeting was dedicated to finalizing the design of a remote control device for TV. The main talking points were the evaluation of the prototype, budget allocation, and the overall production process.

Question: That sounds interesting. What did they conclude about the prototype evaluation?

Response: The participants evaluated the prototype based on a set of criteria, giving it an overall score of 6.5 out of 7. They were particularly impressed with the voice control feature, the technological innovation, and the intuitive user interface. However, they noted the need to investigate the ergonomics of the design due to potential repetitive stress issues.

Question: Can you tell me what was discussed about the remote's durability and wear resistance?

Response: The provided meeting transcript does not contain any discussion or evaluation of the remote's durability and wear resistance. Therefore, I am unable to provide an answer to your question.

Question: What was the final decision regarding the innovative sample sensor feature?

Response: The participants decided to remove the sample sensor feature due to budget constraints. To compensate for this, they agreed to include a simple feedback speaker that would provide basic beeping sounds for locating the remote when needed.

Question: That makes sense. What motivated them to select rubber as the case material?

Response: The participants opted for rubber as the case material due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. Rubber comes in a variety of colors, allowing for flexibility in design, and it is relatively inexpensive compared to other materials. It also provides a comfortable grip and has shock-absorbing properties, making it suitable for a device that is frequently handled.

Question: Can you summarize what they decided about the scroll wheel feature on the remote?

Response: Ultimately, the participants agreed to replace the scroll wheel with two push buttons located on the side of the remote. This change was made to reduce costs while still maintaining essential volume adjustment functionality.

Question: Did the meeting participants consider including a gyroscope or accelerometer in the remote's design for motion control functionalities?

Response: The provided meeting transcript does not contain any discussion or evaluation of including a gyroscope or accelerometer in the remote's design. Therefore, I am unable to provide an answer to your question.

Question: What was the final decision regarding the remote's capacity to learn user preferences and adjust its behavior accordingly?

Response: The provided meeting transcript does not contain any discussion or evaluation of the remote's capacity to learn user preferences and adjust its behavior accordingly. Therefore, I am unable to provide an answer to your question.

Question: What was the advantage of including a solar charging option for the remote?

Response: The provided meeting transcript does not contain any discussion or evaluation of including a solar charging option for the remote. Therefore, I am unable to provide an answer to your question.

Question: Were there any questions brought up in the meeting that didn't get resolved or answered satisfactorily?

Response: The provided meeting transcript does not contain any discussion or evaluation of unresolved questions. Therefore, I am unable to provide an answer to your question.


I'm proud of it..

Okay. This is our final meeting, the detailed design meeting. And again I'll take minutes. The what we have to get through in this meeting is firstly the prototype presentation from you two, so you can show us what you've been working on so diligently.

Yeah.

It does look very cool.

Um then

then Cat's going to present the evaluation criteria that we're going to be evaluating this against.

Then I need to say some st a few things about finance,'cause we have to check that it's within the finance criteria. Um and then we'll be making sure that our product fits both the evaluation criteria from Cat and the financial limits. Um and then we uh will have a brief evaluation of the whole process of production and design that we've been through. So we've got forty minutes. S

And then do we get to make a remote control?

'Cause we missed out.

Yeah.

So

it's now I guess that we're supposed to start at fifteen thirty five, so we've got until four fifteen.

Uh-huh. How how much do we have, forty minutes?

Is that right?

Yeah, about four fifteen, yeah.

Yeah,

Yeah.

Yeah.

until about four fifteen. So yeah..

Okay, so.

Go for it. Do you want.

So, you said um are are we starting with the the.

Yes.

Presentation.

so will you maybe start with like the mm the shape and things and and then I will explain the the user interface th uh things, like the buttons and the scrolling things and.

Okay. Okay. So um basically going with our trend of vegetables and we selected the colour and approximate shape of banana.

You think bananas are a safe thing to use?

Um.

It's a bit um phallic.

Yeah. Um.

Well, but it's it's just an a approximation..

Dual use, perfect.

Yeah..

Dual use, perfect.

Oh, your remote control? Oh that's just bad..

Does it vibrate when you press the buttons?

Um so basically it's the it's the flip open thing again.

Sorry, sorry.

So now we we have the okay,

Mm-hmm.

so Ma Maarika will explain you the user interface there. And it flips open on the side, so it opens like that. And we have the user interface o in here

Mm-hmm. Wow.

and uh the the L_C_D_ and and the scroll are inside. Um well, everything else is probably user interface, so. Yeah, yeah.

And it's the whole thing's made of rubber, is that.

Uh yeah.

Oh yeah. Yeah, it has, yeah.

Rubber.

Is it to scale, or do you think you can make it a bit smaller?

Yeah,. Um it could be made a bit smaller, and and of course it would be and.

Yeah.

yeah, but um one thing we actually kind of um forgot while designing, that one side was supposed to be rounder,

Yeah,

so we said the back side round, yeah.

well, but i since it's made of rubber anyway. I I think it's it's uh.

Mm-hmm.

It l does look like the curvy

Yeah.

and then the whole shape's curvy, so I would say that this curvy does look quite like a vegetable.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm. Hmm.

Yeah. And it's spongy as well..

I wasn't very keen on that, but yeah..

So so uh the user interface as as we discussed last time uh mm on on the on the cover we just have the very basic things.

Huh. Mm-hmm.

So we have that n uh channels here starting from um uh one two three there would be numbers in in the on the actual one.

Yeah.

So it's four, up to four, up to seven, up to nine and zero, z zero here.

Six seven eight nine. I like that.

Yeah. And then, well this is on off button. It's it's quite standard mm place for it and and also the colour is quite often red, so it's it's kind of user friendly.

Yeah.

And then these ones would be for flipping the channels back and like the previous one and the next one.

Uh-huh.

And and we would also have a l little um thing saying here, previous and ne prevon prevon next.

So where's the volume?

Yeah.

The volume is is scrolling.

It's on the side.

On the side,

Ah, you did get that in then,

this one. Yeah you just do it like this.

mm-hmm.

And and and it's it's on the back is mm cover or back lid, because if you flip it open, you can still do the scrolling here.

Oh okay,.

Mm-hmm.

See? So the volume is you just scroll, but then once you flip it open, okay, there there you have the screen

Yeah.

and and you have the mm spinning wheel with options to choose.

Mm-hmm.

You can move back and forth and then if you need to m choose something on the screen, you just push the cen mm the middle button.

Mm-hmm.

Cool. Oh, the thing we forgot was like a mute button.

Uh no, we we'd not put.

A mute button.

Yeah.

so on on the cover we have the the bare essentials.

Well, we'll have this on the screen, on the display.

Y or you could have it so you on the wheel if you.

On the wheel, like if you hold the wheel down then it will mute.

Uh on the L_C_D_ we r you know, the main menu will have various options.

Well, but the but the mute yeah, the scrolling is kind of you have to scroll all the way to make it mute, right?

But if you hold it in,

Mm.

Yeah, but it's a scroll and click, isn't it?

if it's a scroll and click so you hold it in?

Okay, cool.

Okay, yeah, okay.

So that that solves the whole mute issue.

Mm.

Yeah. And okay, so i so the the voice recognition is also just part of it.

no.

You can't really see it in the interface.

Yeah, it's hidden in there somewhere.

Yeah. And we do have the logo on it as well.

Mm-hmm, very good.

So I think it.

And it's with the the black and yellow you're even in the right colours.

Yeah.

Cool.

Yeah, I think um we could do l the logo in grey, as it is on the website.

Mm-hmm.

We ran out of resources here, so..

Yeah.

In the actual one.

Yeah..

You can have a look..

So if you have questions.

Very good, let's have a look.

Test it out..

Uh it's a sort of intermediate colour, I guess.

Yeah, oh, we hold the remote.

Oh, but it it does feel all cold and slimy.

I hate Play-Do, it's just minging.

But yeah, uh that's cool, cool.

Very good.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so maybe if we go on to evaluation cri criteria

Okay.

and then we'll there.

Yeah, see the budget.

I suspect we're gonna have a couple of minor finance issues, but um we'll se I'm sure we can get around them somehow.

We'll just send all of our manufacturing to some nice poor country

and cut some of the prices that way.

Wales..

Wales, for example..

Mm. Cool, okay. Right, okay. Fabulous,

Marketing Expert.

yeah. Okay, cool. So what we're gonna do is prefer prepare the evaluation of the new design. Um so we're gonna be using a seven point scale,

Mm-hmm.

so one is, you know, yes, it totally meets with that requirement and seven is, no, it really doesn't, we need to go back and start again. Um, you know. Basically, what I did was I went through all the like user requirements and things that we've done and we've worked on and like made a list of them. Um you know, so that we can evaluate each one and like so it was about going back to the start and saying oh yeah, we did manage to do that, or oh no, we really forgot about that.

Yeah.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

Cool, so these are what they are. Oh.

So for each of these we need to give it a one to seven. Is that right?

Yes, I did have A_, B_, C_, and D_ down here, but it seems to have turned into like just bullet points.

Mm dots, never mind.

Okay. But if you can imagine that they say A_, B_, C_, and D_, then that would be really good.

I guess we'll give it maximum points in everything..

Yeah, the yeah, it's definitely attractive..

Yeah, I agree.

Oh, the locatable thing we actually forgot.

Well, I thought we'd um kinda said that you'd have a little thing to stick on the T_V_?

Yeah, just prepare one now.

Yeah. Shall I just prepare it now?

Yeah.

It will be red, too.

Cool. Okay. So, be attractive to look at. That's this one. What do you all say?

So?

I reckon it.

S seven was th the maximum, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I I go for seven.

Yes.

Oh we're all so proud of the.

Seven, yeah, it's terribly sexy. Yeah.

Okay, so that'll be a seven for A_.

Could oh no, you can't whilst that's up there. Okay um uh what I've done on the next page is I've set it up so we just put the marks in.

Ah, okay.

Okay.

Excellent. Except we can't.

Yeah.

But we can we can.

But that's alright.

uh we can if we.

I can I can take note uh uh.

If you take a note of them, and then I'll put them in in a minute.

then yeah, I'll take a note, it's fine.

Okay, so we're all agreeing on seven for A_?

Yeah.

Cool, okay. Does it match the operating behaviour of the user?

Um the the only thing that we were considering was that uh this thing is kind of more for right-handed people than for left-handed people,

I think it does.

I would think yes, yeah.

Yeah. I mean.

so if you're left-handed you're kind of left uh scrolling with your finger.

Yeah,

Alright.

so y so we we might do we might want to do like a uh another m model another another version, which is like exactly the mirror image of this one.

Yeah.

But that's gonna be a problem,

But then yeah.

'cause you don't always have all left-handers or all right-handers in a family.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So bu it's it's not a huge problem,

I th I think it's not it's not like it's a pen.

because i i it is operatable.

But then then I think left-handed people are already used to discrimination anyway,

Yeah.

so they just.

Yeah, but I mean because it's not like it's a pen, you know, left-handed people can't normally write right-handed,

Yeah.

but they can normally do most things right-handed,

Yeah.

Right.

so I would say it's not such a big issue.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, because I mean anyway, right-handed people would be able to scroll with it,

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean you can you can use your finger to to scroll rather than your thumb.

Yeah.

so i if the majority are right-handed, it's uh.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

So I mean that does kind of negate the whole R_S_I_ issue.

Yeah.

Mm.

So maybe we need to put that needs a little bit of investigation, maybe give it a five, I would say?

Um.

What do you what do you all think?

Mm.

Six.

Or maybe six, because it's just one one i one among the issues,

Yeah, I think I think for um.

I mean. Yeah.

I mean most people are right-handed, so in in terms of our greatest target group, I think it's pretty good, but we might want to flag it for management, they want might want to um.

Yeah.

One more thing is that i

Okay.

It might be a little clumsy when when it opens up, right,

They.

so it opens on the side. So.

Mm-hmm.

No, yeah, but mm but we have it nicely with the hinges here yeah.

Yeah yeah yeah, I mean yeah.

Yeah.

So it won't be a problem,

Yeah. Yeah.

So you guys can decide wh whether.

it will be and it will be it won't be heavy.

Oops.

I th I think the alternative is flipping from the top.

Yeah, but we which makes it kind of really big, yeah.

Yeah well yeah,

The length is gonna be difficu

but it's it's a bit long. It's a little bit long.

Yeah um.

Well, I mean it can be opened like this of course and yeah.

But you were thinking about making it smaller, yeah?

Uh this this kind of uh makes it more.

Mm.

Because.

S uh slightly smaller.

and two, it might interfere with the I_R_ channel.

So you have to keep that side flat.

Yeah, but if we flip it open only as much as that.

Okay.

So it works like a mobile phone flipping, but y you know, as long as that side's flat, than that will work.

Right. Okay.

Okay. Um okay, so C_. Are are we admitting defeat on C_ or are we saying we're gonna stick a locator on the T_V_?

No, we have a locator.

No, we're gonna put it like we've got th there's the locator dot.

There's a locator. Cool, so that means you need a that does mean you need a little speaker on it though,

Mm that you stick on T_V_.

Mm.

doesn't it? To make it beep.

Yeah.

Or a buzzer.

Yeah.

Yeah well w but l but the speak sample speaker is included, so it it has some capacity to mm to do some to make some sounds, so yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

So that's two, so that's seven, yeah. It's locatable?

Yep.

Fabulous. D_.

Intuitive, completely intuitive..

Yeah. If uh uh if this means intuitive, if it means the way people kind of are used to finding things

Yeah.

and it's I th I think it's.

I'd say six,'cause the I mean the the standard layout for numbers is three three three and one, rather than the way you've got it. I really like the way you have it,

Yeah.

but it's not the immediate thing that you're used to.

Intuitive.

Yeah, and I mean d

And uh even the scroll, it's a it's a new technology

So.

so m m might be a little more difficult for people to get used to in the beginni

Might be.

so it is kind of not very intuitive but uh it's a good technology, I mean once they get used to it.

But it and it's something that they will be experiencing in a lot of different places soon.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, should we maybe say f a five

So l

and say it is intuitive,

Five?

but it's different, so, do you know, I mean it's obvious how to use it,

Yeah.

but you might have to think about it first. So we give that one a five, you think?

Yeah, okay. I'm gonna give a seven in everything, so..

Yep.

I'm happy with five?

Yeah.

Yeah..

I'm glad you're accepting this. It has taken a little while, hasn't it? Um intuitive but Sorry, it's really hard to write on those.

Mm..

I just went a bit mad, didn't I?

Um okay, cool, E_, okay. Um I would guess this comes back from this whole B_ thing links in here, so possibly for left-handed. Investigate.

Yep. But otherwise it's superb.

So, should we give it a six?

Six.

Six?

Um uh the ergonom ergonomic design.

Yeah.

well mm I mean I d uh I dunno, I mean the the repetitive stress things,

but then who would be really pushing the buttons so much on the on the remote control anyway,

Yeah. Yeah, unless you are a all the time sitting.

yeah? See.

Yeah.

Yeah, so it's kinda.

Yeah, I I think it is ergonomic.

I used to send fifty texts a day, you know,

Well we've banned them from.

and I never got repetitive strain injury from that,

Mm yeah.

so I find it quite hard to believe to be honest.

And moreover it it has um L_C_D_ and everything,

Yeah.

so that uh you know uh we minimise the pressing of the buttons anyway.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's varied.

Okay, so we give that a six,

Yeah. Six?

yeah. Okay, F_.

Yeah, it does have yeah.

Absolutely.

Voice control have seven.

Hang on, how come it's showing up with the things there but it only had bullet points there? That's just.

Ah, that's the second one. So you must have changed it on this one where it's got score, but not on the previous slide.

Oh okay, cool. Um right, so.

So it has voice control.

Yes, so that's a seven then.

Yep.

Um, cool.

G_ technologically innovative.

Anyway it ha yeah,

Technologi well.

it's the most sophisticated remote that I ever seen..

But in terms of the actual technology, none of it is actually new.

Yeah. Well mm we have we have the sample speaker as well, which is yeah, it's kind of new.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I mean you don't.

All of the components have been used in other things before.

Yeah, but they've been brought together in a remote.

But at the same time they are all they are all relatively new.

They're never been used i they've never been using remote remote control before I don't think.

But do yeah, yeah. Yeah.

What do you reckon, five, six?

Yeah, what do you all think?

Six.

Yeah.

Six?

I mean how how far can you go with a remote control, really?

Yeah.

Well, that's it, I mean.

It still has to do what i what it has to do.

Yeah, but I mean everything has been used in space before it gets to anyone else really, hasn't it?

So, I don't think many peop

Space remote.

That's it, they can take it with them.

Put fashion in electronics.

Absolutely..

Yeah, isn't it fashionable?

The carrot banana remote..

Yeah, sure.

It's the maximum fashion.

So, we give it seven, and we write.

Fruit fruit and vegetables are fashionable these days, so.

There we go.

I think that's a.

So I think we've done very well, but.

Yeah.

Cool.

Very good.

What's the assessment?

So, we need the average here, so we got.

The average is about six and something.

Yeah, one.

A little bit over six.

Seven.

There are how many sixes?

Or a seven.

One, two, three.

So we've got four sevens,

No, wait, a little bit under six.

so that's twenty eight,

Three.

No, wait.

three sixes,

And one five.

eighteen.

Oh, three sixes, okay, yeah.

Fifty one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Okay, twenty eight, thirty eight, fo forty six. Forty six and five, fifty one.

Six point point.

Fifty one divided by.

Six point something, yeah.

Two three four Seven eight.

about six point five.

Six point five, yeah.

Close enough.

Okay, that's pretty good, I think..

Now wait until we get to finance and then we'll see if we can afford it.

That's all you've got at the moment, or did you have anything more?

Um no, that's it,

That's it?

yeah.

Alright. So, finance. And we'll see if we can unscrew this first.

Cool, there we go.

Sorry, this is I'm just um.

. There we go and there are the marks.

Beautiful.

Yeah.

Not anymore.

Computer no signal?

Mm I guess it'll have to wait for a bit.

Adjusting. There we go. Okay, so we've looked at the prototype presentation and the evaluation criteria. And now we have to calculate the production costs. So I've got an Excel spreadsheet to help us do that. Can you read that? Almost.

More or less. Um I started filling it in, but of course these are provisional, so we have to go down. No hand dynamo, right?

Yeah.

One simple battery.

Yeah.

Mm.

No kinetic energy, no solar. The chip, we're going for an advanced chip on print.

Advanced, yeah.

We also said the sample sensor and sample speaker.

Yep.

Um single-curved surface, so that we can fold it.

Yeah, yes.

Case material we said rubber.

Rubber.

Yep.

I don't know what special colour means.

Mm anything uh I think which is not more.

I think something coloured, yeah, probably. So I think this is probably special co no?

Yeah.

It could be.

Yeah, but rubber comes coloured, doesn't it? You know.

Rub rubber comes coloured,

Yeah.

it's I would maybe it's like if you want titanium coloured or wood coloured, it's different.

Or maybe maybe if you want some kind of pattern thing on it,

Yeah, let's leave it as zero,'cause it's easy..

yeah yeah, okay.

Yeah,

Yeah.

you might end up having to take off the sample sensor.

We we're definitely going to have to.

We have pushbuttons,

Mm.

so we've got pushbutton, and then we've

scro we have scroll wheel as well.

Scroll wheel with pushbutton we had, no?

No uh we we have uh yeah.

S yeah, yeah, we had, for muting, yeah.

Yeah.

And we have L_C_ display

And button supplements.

and yeah.

Mm no.

Um.

. No.

We don't have.

No. No?

we're not using any of that.

Yeah, but what do we ha we have L_C_ display, but but the wh but the s spinning wheel.

But the the spinning wheel's not there. I have think maybe it's integrated with the L_C_ display?

Yeah.

We've got more than one pushbutton though,

Okay, let's yeah.

haven't we?

I think the pushbutton oh.

'Cause then you have.

I don't know if that's one.

That means you can only have twenty five push buttons in total doesn't it? Not counting anything, we'd still be in budget.

Yeah. That seems unlikely.

Huh?

Push what uh

Wh wh what is the limit? Uh.

Twelve point five.

whether whether pushbutton means that p count by button or do we.

We have to count all of them, or yeah.

Mm I don't think so, no.

I don't think that makes sense.

No.

No it says what what is the kind of interface,

Well it doesn't, but it uh.

No.

if it is pushbutton then you got a zero point five, it's a scroll wheel so we we've put it's pushbutton and scroll wheel and L_C_D_ display,

Yeah. Yeah.

And L_C_ display.

so that's that's the three kind of interfaces that we have.

Yeah. Yeah. So, as we can see, that's way too expensive down here.

Wh wh what's our criteria?

This sample sensor.

Our budget's twelve point five.

Uh okay.

Yeah, the sample sensor will have to go,'cause that's the most expensive thing on there.

Yeah, so that has implications though for the.

Uh it does not have for voice recognition, but it does have for the feedback speaker. when you say when you press one it says one or it says hello.

Yeah.

For the locator.

But that's a bit of a gimmick anyway really, isn't it?

Mm and the locator also goes away.

Yeah.

We can afford to get rid of it.

But it was very no innovative

Yeah.

So that means no locator, does it?

innovativeness. Well um yeah.

I mean does.

What else does it need?

Well the speaker uh the sample speaker is is expensive, but we could just have some some very very easy device that just beeps.

Yeah,'cause the sample speaker was, I think, more complicated then just a beeping thing.

This would be Yeah, yeah yeah.

Yeah.

there you record your samples your speech samples and.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, so we.

A also i in the case I'm not sure that you will evaluate this as a curved surface, because it's just rubber, so it's probably a flat surface rubber. Uh I mean uh um yeah.

Uh-huh.

Okay, yeah.

Um.

Right, so we need one fifty off.

See, I was gonna say the scroll wheel pushbutton thing,'cause.

Take it down to just a scroll wheel. We could do.

So tha that mean that we cannot press how do we how do we make a selection in uh in the L_C_D_?

Yeah, then then we would be in the b budget.

If in the L_C_D_ we can scroll, right? But how do we make a selection if we d cannot push the button.

Yeah b no no, you can push this one, but we don't have a pushbutton uh we ca we don't have this muting mechanism for this scrolling thing.

But that's well you would just have to to spin it down.

Yeah. You can have to scroll it straight r roll it straight down for for mute.

Mm-hmm.

No w w w but ha

So that's point three.

it's it's the scroll wheel and I thought we were referring to this as a scroll spinning wheel and pushbutton thing.

But I mean we can put an additional mute button on the top as well.

Yeah,

If you.

I mean that wouldn't actually cost any more. That's the spin wheel though, isn't it? Didn't that come with the L_C_.

That's with the L_C_

That comes with the L_C_D_?

Yeah.

We decided,'cause it's not on our list.

Oh so so the the this is.

Yeah.

Mm.

The scroll wheel is on the side.

. So we're adding costs for right, okay uh I mean I think this is good.

S so we're point three over.

So.

We're point three over at the moment.

Unless we just take off the scroll wheel altogether

It's nothing n

and just have pushbuttons for the volume. Could b still put them on the side. But yeah.

Yeah,

I mean the scroll wheel's pretty cool, but.

I have.

Instead of scrolling here we have two buttons here, up for up and down.

Yeah.

On the side.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm uh it sounds good actually, yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah.

Rather than having three different things that people have to do.

Okay.

There we go. Oh look, we're way under budget and we'll make huge profits and we'll all get bonuses.

Yeah, well we could admit to the single curve, couldn't we?.

Or or that we have to have some sort of special colour.

Yeah, but.

So that's alright. We we'll leave it at that.

Yeah.

and then I'll take I can send it back to management and say we weren't quite sure about the colour, if that costs extra then we've still got some space for it,

We have, yeah.

Yeah.

yeah.

Yeah.

Excellent. Alright. So did we lose um on our evaluation criteria, as a result of doing that?

No.

Not really, no.

No, I don't think so.

Because we keep all the features, we keep voice recognition, we keep L_C_D_ display.

Mm.

We instead of having scrolling we we just push the buttons.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We just got rid of a gimmick that was never anyway,

Um yeah.

Yeah.

and the scroll wheel is I mean essentially the two buttons that was it's not a great difference I don't think.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But we lose the locator.

Alright then.

Really?

We're gonna have a beep.

Well we're going to have a beeping thing.

So instead of speaker,.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's it's not like sample speaker, but it will just beep, so we still have the locate.

Yeah.

'Kay..

Cool. That's not a very exciting colour. I think you should make it more vegetable-like..

Tha

Which colour, the the colour of the phone or the colour of the.

Oh the the beeper thing.

It.

But it can be yellow as well. It can come in the same colour as the the case.

'Cause we we won't have run out of our pot of Play-Doh.

Yeah, I think Jen wants it to vibrate.

Yeah, I know I know, my pen vibrates.

You know, your pen vibrates?

Yeah..

But only for a very short time. Um okay. So looks like we've designed a banana.

Well done, team. Um we need we've just got about ten minutes or so left of the meeting, so it would be good if we could just have a little talk about the project itself and how it went, um so that we can feed back to the management for next time they're designing a product.

I think it mm.

Cool.

Feedback? Ideas?

Yeah mm, as far as creativity is concerned, yeah I think there was there was room for creativity. The only the only problem being that at the end we had to cut some things down because of the the budget we had.

Mm-hmm.

I think uh n one thing that was lacking uh was that we did not know what the various things cost to begin with.

Mm-hmm.

Um we kap kept a adding things randomly.

Yeah.

So, had we known.

Yeah.

If we'd had that sheet at the beginning should've been like, okay, so we can have that lot, let's just throw it together and do what we can.

Yeah, that or not, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. So d all the random decisions at the end could have been prevented.

Yeah.

Mm..

But in terms of the process of um going and working individually and then coming back to a meeting, that that worked in terms of.

Yeah, mm.

I think'cause the meetings were so regular, you know. It wasn't like we were alone for very long,

Mm-hmm.

so you didn't st go off and think, wouldn't it be great to have a vibrating remote control shaped like a banana,

Mm-hmm.

Banana..

and then, you know, come back three days later and Jen's going look, look, it vibrates and it looks like a banana.

Yeah..

Um yeah, so yeah.

Yeah, the m the means were very very good, the means we used.

Mm-hmm, the whiteboard digital pens.

And the pens..

Uh I like the pens.

We like the pens..

I want one. That would just be so cool, to d do all your notes and s

Yeah, you could take it to lectures and just write stuff down

Yeah yeah yeah,

and have it printed out when you got back to the office.

Yeah, yeah.

that's it's it's.

They great?

I wonder what one of these costs..

Do you think they'd notice if one went?

I don't think you should say that was the recording.

Oh okay.

Okay, cover up the microphone. Alright, let's take it..

Yep. Shh..

Yep.

Okay.

But that worked well having having a whiteboard that we could draw on as well as having the PowerPoint,'cause the I find that the problem with PowerPoint often is that it's so static and you can't change it once you're in there,

It is a bit limiting, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

yep.

Yeah, and and and this time also the time limits but actually preparing the.

Yeah. The thing flew in,

Mm-hmm.

you didn't have the whole whooshing thing,'cause there wasn't time for that, so yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. That's alright, that always irritates me anyway, yeah.

Not that you can do that on the board, either. We could make some little.

But yeah, but I mean already just just preparing the slides before before the meeting, yeah.

Yeah, totally, I mean that was fairly tight anyway, I mean especially with that last-minute alteration.

Mm. Yeah.

Yeah..

Mm yeah..

back it, this is just had to be changed

. And yeah, so cool.

Yeah.

Are we supposed to say nice things about Jen now?

And presumably you don't you can say nasty things as well.

Yeah.

I have no stake in it.

I was I was satisfied with with the leadership, yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

You weren't like a a dictating leader, so that was always good.

You have to say that,'cause I'm taking the notes.

I'll leave the room and you can have another go.

Mm-hmm.

I know you've got the pen, you might attack me with it..

Better than that than the banana.

And then the teamwork I think I think it worked quite quite nicely, yeah.

I think it worked quite well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did anyone feel that they were getting sort of covered up and not being able to say their bit?

To express them mm mm

Mm. I guess it was a fairly small group,

no.

so all of us got to express our opinions, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

. New ideas found. Not quite sure what about.

Well it's it's it's pretty new,

Mm.

Yeah..

pretty novel solution for a for a remote control really, all this flipping open thing and.

Yeah.

I don't know, I don't go shopping for remote controls that often, maybe somebody's already though of it.

Yeah, neither neither do I,

but I've never seen anything and and none of my examples were was was like this, actually, so.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I'll be looking out next time I need to write an essay.

Yeah, that's right..

That looks boring, I'll see if anyone's made a remote control.

Yeah maybe w maybe we could have a patent on this one.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah..

Patent patent patent. Mm.

I think we'd like to think the ideas were new,

Banana remote.

but we've got no way of finding out..

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Or you can always go to Google and type in banana remote control.

That vibrates.

Flip. Vibrate

Yeah, but that would just come up with like other things really wouldn't it.

. And uh yeah. Nothing that you really want..

True. Yeah. Okay. So, costs are within budget,

Yes.

Yes..

well within budget, including a little what have we got? One Euro left over for bits that we didn't foresee. Um we've evaluated the project.

Yes.

And it's fabulous.

You've got the scores. Can you put that in the project documents file?

It's in the project documents.

It's in there already. And the process wheel didn't really have any major problems with. Were there any was there anything that you found difficult, or anything that didn't go as smoothly as you'd hope?

And my main difficulty was the the time pressure.

Yeah.

Otherwise it's it's all fine.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, sometimes it's like a little bit rushed.

I thought that was good though, because if you're given too much time then you got nothing to do with your time and um yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Although we could have made the R_s better had we had five more minute..

Yeah.

Okay then. Um I think we're still well within our time.

Yeah, we've got like five minutes left.

We've got about five minutes left, but if we've finished, then we've finished. We're just too too efficient

Yeah.

We certainly are,

and you should never drag a meeting on just because you have extra time.

Yeah.

mm. Yeah.

Yes.

So I would say that's the end of that meeting.

'Kay.

Thank you, team.

Yeah, it was a pleasure working with you.

Yeah, same here..

It was very productive day and.

We could draw animals on the board again.

Mm uh no..

Mm uh no..

I don't think so..

You can make some animals.

I don't like Play-Doh, no.

Oh, you don't like anim

It's just minging. It smells so bad.

It doesn't?

It does.

Smells quite nice. Smells very sweet.

Mm.

Right, so we have to complete the final questionnaire and meeting summary when they send it.

Was there a questionnaire already sent?

I don't know if it's already sent or not.

No, it hasn't been.

Um presumably I have to.

Do we have to go back into the other room or can we stay in here now?

I don't see why you can't stay here, really.

Okay, so the other way..

Did I save this one? Production costs.

I made your animal for you.

It was supposed to be pink. But it was blue on the board.

Yeah, that's the one.

Question: What did the Industrial Designer say about the remote control in the meeting?

Response: In the meeting, the Industrial Designer mentioned that the flip-open design might cause interference with the remote's IR channel.


Okay. So, now um, last time. Can you uh push the button? One time please. So I'm still the secretary. Now uh, I ask you to presentate the prototype. One of your you two.

I don't care..

Oh this, you mean?

Yes. The prototype.

Huh?

Yes, well uh this is it..

This is it.

Well, thank you. Uh, now.

It's uh it's uh it's yellow. And uh, this is rubber. And and and this too. The

the sides.

Yes.

And the rest is hard plastic. And uh We uh we had some uh We had a new idea that that this can uh can be uh uh turned inside.

And then it covers the these buttons

Okay.

until here or something.

Yes.

And then you can still use the the power button and the mute and the the joystick.

Mm-hmm.

So, you can still operate uh all the things. Because you don't always use the menu. And then it can break.

Okay. And the buttons?

Uh, well uh.

Big..

Big buttons. And everything is blue, except the power button. And the mute. Of uh yeah, and the mute and the the other button. Yeah. Channel higher channel button.

Yeah.

And the joystick is for the volume and the channels.

Uh, yes. Yes,

Yes.

that's uh.

Very obvious.

Up is channel up. Down is channel down. To the right is volume up. To the left is volume down.

Yeah.

Okay, so if joystick and L_C_D_. What's the R_R_ d.

R_R_'s the l the the the the company uh logo.

The R_R_?

Okay. Very good.

So, we have.

That's on the rub rubber part.

Uh, yes. Yes. That's about here.

So, what they say on the side is put fashion there. Yes. It's good.

Oh.

So, that's it. That's prototype.

Yeah?

Now, the finance. We don't know if it's th it if it's okay.

Alright..

So, I'm gonna look.

Do we.

We have.

Do we change the.

Sorry?

Do we change the the order? Or are we going to uh ev evaluate it first?

Finance is um Yeah it's No, first uh Yes. We have to evaluate the product yet.

Okay.

Sorry.

That's uh um That can be none. Um, we gonna do the evaluation now, together. But I have uh a introduction how it works. So, it will come up. Uh-oh. Okay. Um, yeah. Well, we uh uh, I have um thinked a few evaluation uh criterias, uh based on um our marketing strategy, on uh the latest trends, on user preferences. Uh, we have a seven point scale from uh true, as well. To false, seven? And on base of each c uh criteria, we need to um give a rating. We can uh Well, it look like this. But we gonna uh do it here, they said. So, you hope found out how to do it with a Word document. Yeah. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Um, well uh we have the Word document

Criteria.

You So we open up that blank here. Um Think I can Uh, what this just an example. So, this not very important. But um, if I can get a number in here. Hmm.

No, it's okay.

Well, uh we can't do that.

I'll get it.

Oh, it's okay.

Um, so uh you have to think of it as uh the remote control is techno technologically innovative. Uh, and then we have to uh agree on the rating together. And in the end, we will c uh count an average of all rating. The first uh on each item.

What do you think?

Yeah, I think it's uh Uh, well technologically using, it's not uh it doesn't contain many new features. Only the L_C_D_. So, it Um, I think I will give it a yeah, yeah, yeah, a four. Hmm.

I think the scroll-button is something also uh new. What uh not anoth uh,

not a lot of uh a lot of uh remote controls have. I think technologically I'll give it an seven. Si six six.

Yeah.

Sorry, six.

So now i I think you uh see it um its statement.

Oh, true or false.

And you true or false.

Oh, uh I'll I'll give it uh a t a two.

And true is one. So, yeah. Yeah.

Two.

Sorry.

You?

Three.

Me too. So it's a three.

'Kay. Um, well It's a one. The first item. So, okay the second item. Um, this product is for all sorts of customers.

Mm.

Well, it's a statement which uh I disagree with, because we uh really aim uh at at young market and I think the way it looked uh c uh totally in yellow, it's not uh really aimed for all customers. It doesn't look like that.

So it's a.

That's uh a six.

Five.

Mm, four.

Yes, it's for the younger g group. So it's uh half half of the people.

Yeah, but it's it's.

So I think it's four.

Yeah. I mean it still has l large buttons and not m many buttons.

No.

So I mean, the colours are for young people,

Mm-hmm.

but

Yes. So, I think it's four.

older.

Yeah.

Maybe version uh three point O_ uh has other colours..

Yeah. Maybe.

Okay. Give it a four.

Four.

Yep.

Four. Uh, okay. Mm.

We put the fashion in electronics.

That's uh the motto of our company. Yeah, well do we do this with uh this product? I um Yeah. I think if we do this, as it's uh uh c uh it's really orientates on the design. Um, so I would give it a two.

Me too a two, because only the battery is not uh techin uh technologically high standard. But the rest of it is. So, I think a two.

Yes. Two.

Uh, I say uh a five.

Two.

It's not fashion, it's new. It must be a fashion. But it isn't.

It it will be fashion.

Yes. It w If it's not a fashion we can put it in it. So, it must be a fashion. I think it's a five.

Uh Okay.

Then make it th three.

Okay. Yes, I'll think of that too.

No. Oh.

'Kay. Three is okay.

Yeah, agree?

I use my feet though..

Oh, we'll wait outside.

A three.

Okay.

Yeah okay.

The next element um is the product looks good. Well personally, I do not prefer a um remote control that's fully in yellow. So, I would give this a five.

I give it a one..

. Yes, a one. I like it.

Well, I say three. So, counting then is two and a half..

We have to do our uh.

Say two.

Two or three?

Okay, two.

Two.

Two. Okay.

So, well we gonna do the next part. Uh, yep. Uh uh, the next statement. It has not too much buttons. Um, yeah, I I have uh said is not because uh a low number is better. And in the end we calculate an average. So, um that's why it's a negative in it. Um, well this one of our aims not have too much buttons. So, um uh did we uh do that? Well, uh if we go to uh this fashion, I We still have caused uh a lot of uh buttons for the numbers. But you can you can go for that. And um that way, you don't have a lot of buttons over. So, I would give this a two.

One.

You?

One..

Me too. One.

One. Um, but where where is the?

Next, six. It does not get lost easily.

So Yeah, did we implement uh the sound?

Uh.

Yes..

Just a small thing..

No, we did not. So, but can it get lost if it's such a thing?

Yeah, but uh Yeah.

Ah. Yellow.

I don't think so.

Looks like a pistol.

Yes. Not a not a normal shapes. So.

Uh It won't get between uh the pillows uh on the couch.

No. It won't get lost.

Yeah.

So.

Uh.

It won't.

A one?.

Yeah.

Yeah, o one.

Okay, a one.

One.

Next.

Okay, um well we aimed for the younger market.

Uh yeah, did we achieve that. I think with the way it looks and um it is designed, I will give it a two.

Yeah me.

Yeah. Me too.

That was our target. Two.

Two.

Yep.

Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah.

Right. There's a fancy look-and-feel.

Uh, yes. That that was uh, yeah, one of the most important things that uh Trendwatch said. I didn't uh say it in my presentation. But um, well does it have that? I would say yes. So um Well, let's also give this a two. T

I gave this a one because of the rubber. It feels soft. Uh, it looks like a l uh uh b uh, a bit like a joystick. It's Yeah. Yeah, f very fancy trendy.

Okay.

Yes, a one.

I say a two. It's a a bit personal. If it's fancy.

Yeah.

So I think s two is better.

Yeah, okay.

Two is okay.

Okay. Two.

And um, then the last one I could think of, uh it goes with the latest trends.

No, it's new. Innovation.

If we looked at the latest trends for the uh younger people, and they ate uh fruit and vegetables, well it has a um a nice colour, uh well compared to food but we didn't uh We did not paint any uh fruit and vegetable on it for something like that.

Oh.

So, I would did not give this uh a one or two. I We'll go for a three.

I go for two because uh the the shapes are still round. Uh, the latest trends are soft things, you know, like uh I said in my presentation. Uh.

Yes.

But the the colours are um basic, like yellow, red, um blue. Something what also younger people want. It's also a trend, so I'll give it a two.

Okay.

Mm, three.

Me too. Three.

A three.

Yeah.

Okay. So um, come back to the presentation now. So, we find yourself there, and now we have to calculate an average rating.

Effort is three, ten and twelve. Thirty, forty, fifty,.

So, we will do that. Yes.

Twenty one. So, it's uh two and three nine two and one third.

By nine.

Two.

Yeah. Um, uh okay. Two.

Yep.

Come on..

Uh, nah. Okay.

So uh, that's a pretty low rating, I think.

Yes.

So, it's good.

So, according to our uh own evaluation uh we did a good job..

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah, I think.

Oh. Nah. How am I doing? Yes.

Okay.

And I closed your slide-show.

Back to my uh.

Which one was the last for you? Uh, dreaming.

Yep. Next please.

Next. Finance.

So, now uh we have a product. Very happy. But uh, is it cheap enough? Um, so if uh I'll have a look. We have a battery. One battery.

Mm-hmm.

Cheapest there is.

Okay, one battery. Electronics. Advanced chip.

Expensive.

Yeah it's the most advanced. Chip-on-print. We have that one.

Well, it's the most advanced.

We have the simple, regular and advanced.

Advanced.

We have the adva advanced.'Kay, so uncurved or flat. Nope. Single curved or double curved? We have double curved..

So.

Then we have plastic, wood, rubber.

we have half rubber, half plastic.

Mm, yes.

No titanium. Special colour. Yes, yellow.

Uh, yellow..

Yeah.

Mm, yeah.

Interface, push-button. Scroll-wheel, integrated scroll-wheel push push-button, or L_C_D_ display.

So, we have the L_C_D_ We have two scroll-wheels? Or one?

One.

One.

And it's not really a s

Joystick uh thing.

Yeah, it's this one. Now, uh button supplement.

Special colour. We already Uh, that's the from the for the buttons. The buttons are regular colour.

Mm, yeah.

So, then uh then then then then then then Then.

We're not gonna make it..

Uh, no. It's too expensive.

Yeah. Wh

So, we have to change something.

What what are the costs?

Fifteen Euros.

Fifteen.

Yeah, well uh when we lose one scroll-wheel, it's okay.'Cause we can't lose the battery. We can't lose the advanced chip. We can't lose the double curve. We have rubber, special colour.

. We would have uh n

A special colour.

Oh, no, we.

Uh, maybe it will be easier if you have a smaller monitor and uh you would also see there. And with a normal mouse. Um, and uh the project. Yeah, I agree on what was said uh mainly. Uh, yeah but you always have that some people are talking more than others. And maybe is then um the task of the the project manager to also uh ask more to the people uh less talking. To tell their opinion.

Okay. Well, what do I have to say. I think it was good. Not too many discussions.

No.
