Project Manager: Um thank you for that . Uh Craig do you wanna
Marketing: Yep .
Project Manager: uh plug yours in then ?
User Interface: Is it working ?
Project Manager: Mm . Not quite .
Marketing: Did you press F_ eight ?
Industrial Designer: It's probably not sending . Yeah .
Project Manager: Oh something coming now , yeah .
Marketing: Industrial Designer: Yep , there it is .
Project Manager: There we go .
User Interface: And so think of this concept . Um to research it I've um had a look on the the homepage again . It's provided me with more examples of um previously existing c remote controls . Um there's a wee bit of discussion about the other existing ones there , um so I've taken the um suggestions from them and tried to incorporate them into this um So then this we're looking for um suggestions on size th um size of control and the buttons , um the shape of the control , and whereabout the buttons should be located on the control .
Project Manager: Mm .
User Interface: Um what I found from the research is that most the current controls are just basically big bricks with loads of buttons all over them . Um they're not very attractive to look at , and they're not very comfortable to hold , they're I just hold 'em like big bricks , and they're very easily lost . Um they tend to be very dark colours , so if there are shadowy places down the side of couches you can't really see them . Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Um the the controls themselves tend to use a very inconsistent colour scheme . Um for instance , the stand-by button isn't always red , uh it really should be . It's uh something the user then uh identify with . This is a red switch off , that's how it should be . Um I'm not sure if there's any other examples of that , but something to look out for . Um there's a problem that I've I've got couple of preferences for the the end control um I get 'em with the the red colour button for stand-by and s the other examples of that um  The buttons should be large . They shouldn't be tiny little things like you get on some mobile phones . They should be easy to press , very comfortable . Um one of the examples given on the homepage was um there's an up and down volume button but both of them have a V_ on them ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: so the up volume button looks like it should be a down volume button , that's kinda confusing . Um should avoid s things like that . Um if the the corporate colour scheme allows it we should have a very bright colour so that it can be easily identified anywhere .
Project Manager: Okay .
User Interface: Um obviously trying trying to avoid being tacky there , but it could um tie-in very easily with your your lime and lemon idea .
Marketing: Yeah . Okay , do we have a corporate colour scheme ?
Project Manager: I think it's yellow
Marketing: I didn't know .
Project Manager: because like the website is yellow and there's a band at the bottom is yellow ,
Marketing: Okay .
Industrial Designer: And the Play-Doh 's yellow .
Project Manager: so yellow , lemon , you know definitely food for thought there ,
Marketing: Okay .
User Interface: Fantastic . Project Manager: but keep going
Marketing: Okay .
Project Manager: and we'll discuss it after .
User Interface: Um
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: any extra features we add beyond the basic ones should be m hidden , they shouldn't be on the  um shouldn't be visible without something be opened or some sort of special extra effort .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Um if we did decide to go for voice activation there sh should always be a button as alternative , possibly hidden in the the opened up section um making that something is wrong with it or with somebody's voice , maybe they got a cold or Um we should definitely avoid the big square block look . That's just wrong .
Project Manager: Mm 'kay .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: And um we got an email uh from I think it's the the research department , and they've said th the voice control um can now talk back if you ask it a question .
Project Manager: Mm .
User Interface: So it sh it could be good to have them um confirm any action you take
Project Manager: Aye that's a good idea , yeah .
User Interface: and possibility . Right and these are problems I've had with it . Um I don't know where the slogan should go , or really what the slogan is . I think it's um , fashion into electronics .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: And we don't know how flexible the colour scheme is . I mean you say you wanted the the corporate colours , but they don't say you know if we can use any other colours at all or Marketing: Mm .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: Mm .
Industrial Designer: Cool .
User Interface: That's it .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: Great . Lots of good information there .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Yeah that that was very good ,
Industrial Designer: Mm 'kay um .
