Marketing: I do . Okay . You guys are gonna help me do an evaluation of the criteria . Um . Okay . So first I'll just discuss some of the criteria that I found . Just based on the past trend reports that I was looking at earlier . And then we'll do a group evaluation of the prototype . And then we will calculate the average score to see how we did . Um so the criteria we're gonna be looking at are the complaints um that we heard from the users who were interviewed earlier . So we're gonna be doing it based on a seven point scale . And one is going to mean true , that we did actually achieve that . With seven being false , we did not achieve that . . Okay . So for the first one , we need to decide , did we solved the problem of the users who complained about an ugly remote ? Industrial Designer:  .
User Interface: Project Manager: I think it's definitely different than anything else out there .
User Interface: Marketing: Mm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So if they think that what is out there is ugly , then yes I would say , I would say most definitely .
Marketing: User Interface: I would .
Project Manager: It's bright .
User Interface: It's bright . It's Project Manager: It still has your traditional black .
User Interface: It's curved . It's not there's no sharp
Industrial Designer: User Interface: angles to it .
Project Manager: Yep , not angular .
Marketing: Mm .
Industrial Designer: I'd say , when it comes to the ergonomics , the form and stuff , yes that's definitely more beautiful than your average .
Marketing: Industrial Designer: However the colour , we don't have a say in that .
Marketing: Yeah I think the colours detract a little bit . User Interface: Some people might say it . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: That has been , that has been dictated pretty much by the company .
Project Manager: Mm .
Industrial Designer: So uh to answer that honestly I would rather say like uh , we have not solved the problem completely with the ugly remote because the colour is ugly , definitely .
Project Manager: Yep .
Marketing: That's true . Yeah .
Project Manager: User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: 'S nothing you can say about that . I mean I much prefer something like brushed chrome with that form .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: But Project Manager: Yeah something more modern to go a a modern colour to go with the modern form .
Industrial Designer: Right . Right . It's different . You don't want your uh three feet huge L_C_D_ dis display in your living room that's hanging from the wall to be controlled with something like that .
Marketing: Um okay so , do you think , since we This was a a sign criteria , do you think maybe we should put it somewhere in the middle then ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Does that sound good ?
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: What do you think ? Three ? Four ?
Project Manager: I would say
Marketing: Five ?
Project Manager: four . Industrial Designer: Yeah . Marketing: Four is fair . Okay .
Project Manager: Very non-committal , four .
Marketing: Okay , the second one . Did we make it simple for new users ?
Industrial Designer: It's very intuitive , I think yeah .
User Interface: Yeah . I think that was the main aim , one of the main aims that we had .
Industrial Designer: S give it a one .
Marketing: One ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: 'kay . Okay . Um , do the controls now match the operating behaviour of the users ?
User Interface: Uh yeah . 'Cause we've we've brought it down to basically four controls most common , which are channel and volume .
Marketing: I'd say that Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Right .
User Interface: And then the other ones are just a matter of just going , just scrolling further .
Project Manager: S scrolling through and selecting a few .
Industrial Designer: Right . So that's a one .
Marketing: So one ?
Project Manager: I think that's a one .
Marketing: Yeah ? Okay . Okay um the fourth one . How about the problem of a remote being easily lost ? One of the number one complaints .
Industrial Designer: Something that big and that yellow you just don't lose anymore .
Project Manager: User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Whether you want to or not , you're not gonna lose it . User Interface: It's bright yellow .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Bright yellow's hard to lose . But um if we were to , if we were , that , the speech recognition . That , we could maybe just use that solely for the the finding thing . That was what we'd we'd mentioned .
Project Manager: So if we incorporate speech recognition into it then it could User Interface: Just just to use , to find it when it was lost . But like I said , like I don't think you'd lose something so yellow so easily .
Industrial Designer: Oops . Hmm .
User Interface: And it's not gonna fall , like a rectangle would slip down behind things . That's gonna be a difficult shape to Industrial Designer: Well what Project Manager: And it is quite bright and User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: User Interface: Maybe in the middle again , three or four or something ?
Project Manager: Uh Industrial Designer: S
Marketing: Okay .
User Interface: I mean you know loo losing things is one of those things that people can lose , I mean a million ways .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: You can pick it up and walk away with it and then you've lost it .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Marketing: That's true .
Project Manager: But if we do go with the , with the speech recognition , then it , then our scale goes up quite a bit I think .
Marketing: Mm .
Industrial Designer: Oh yeah . You probably User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Probably two . You know . If we eliminate the fact that you know it's impossible to guarantee that it's not gonna be lost then
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: I'd say two .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Project Manager: With the speech recognition , which of course may be changed depending on budget .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Y you could add an extra feature actually . Which makes this thing raise hell when you remove it too far from the television .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: We could add that but that's nothing we have thought of so far .
Project Manager: Which , which may be cheaper than speech recognition if it were just a Industrial Designer: Yes .
User Interface: Yeah true . But I mean d just those whistling , clapping key rings you have . They're cheap .
Marketing: Annoying alarm or something ?
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: It's it's Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: So it can't be that
Industrial Designer: Um the it's based on this anti anti-theft technology for suitcases and stuff ,
User Interface: expensive .
Project Manager: Some sort of proximity  User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: where you have one piece that's attached to your luggage , another piece that starts beeping . That can't cost much .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: So that can also easily be integrated because these things are small enough to to hide , so you have one piece , you have to glue somewhere behind your stick it behind your T_V_ and the other User Interface: stick it on the T_V_ .
Project Manager: Pray that you don't accidentally lose that piece . Industrial Designer: Right .
User Interface: Marketing: Industrial Designer: That'd be tough then . Well also your remote would uh alarm you if somebody stole you t your television , yeah . Ran off with it without taking the beautiful remote control .
Project Manager: User Interface: Yeah . Marketing: So . Are we adding one of these two features ?
Industrial Designer: Let's add one of those features and say yes . Marketing: gonna say okay .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: So we're back to a one ?
User Interface: Two .
Marketing: Or a two ?
Project Manager: Two .
Industrial Designer: Two .
Marketing: Two , 'kay . Okay . Are we technologically innovative ?
Industrial Designer: Uh User Interface: I'd say so .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Uh don't get many mo remote controls with
Industrial Designer: It's all just User Interface: screens on .
Industrial Designer: It's all just stolen technology when it comes down to   User Interface: Yeah it's stolen technology .
Marketing: From iPod yeah . Project Manager: It's  User Interface: But we have .
Project Manager: But there's not a lot of yellow , there's not a lotta yellow .
Industrial Designer: right
Marketing: But for remotes yeah .
Project Manager: Course that wasn't really Industrial Designer: right
User Interface: Fa
Industrial Designer: right right .
Project Manager: we were kinda forced to take that colour .
Marketing: Two ? Three ?
User Interface: 'cause it's stolen .
Project Manager: I don't know that we are that innovative , to tell you the truth . User Interface: No maybe not .
Industrial Designer: Yeah not really .
Marketing: But how many remotes do you see like this ?
User Interface: Project Manager: If we added the screaming factor then we go up .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Not so many .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Marketing: Project Manager: Um I would say we're probably at four .
Industrial Designer: Right .
Marketing: Really ? Okay . That's gonna hurt us .
User Interface: Marketing: Okay . Um spongy material ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah well you have that , kind of , sort of .
Project Manager: We have some spongy , yeah .
User Interface: Yeah as much as as needed , I think .
Marketing: 'Kay .
Industrial Designer: It's not a one though .
Project Manager: No .
Industrial Designer: One would be the whole thing
Project Manager: Yeah . Because it's only got what , these parts are the grips and perhaps the back side the bottom the underneath on the back .
Industrial Designer: to fold and stuff . Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: So that's a four at most .
Project Manager: Probably a four at most . Possibly even a five .
Marketing: And lastly , did we put the fashion in electronics ?
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Y yes .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: I'd say we did .
Project Manager: If your fashion is b is Carmen Miranda , you betcha . Industrial Designer: More  User Interface: Yeah . Marketing: Industrial Designer: Well the recent fashion is rather displayed in the in the L_C_D_ and the way you operate it than the form and the colour ,
User Interface: On the Project Manager: It's true .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: but it definitely is User Interface: Be what we were told , and they'd say yeah , definitely .
Industrial Designer: .
Marketing: 'Kay . Alright . Now we just gotta calculate . Six eight twelve sixteen . Seventeen divided by s
User Interface: .
Project Manager: Seven is Marketing: Eight .
Project Manager: Two point Marketing: Project Manager: two point four ?
User Interface: Is that some long division ? No .
Project Manager: Something .
Marketing: Well I haven't done math in years .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: What two User Interface: Marketing: I dunno .
User Interface: Just , I'm sure there's a .
Marketing: Okay we'll say two point four two . Right ? How does that look ?
Industrial Designer: I'm impressed . I can't do that without a calculator . User Interface: No I can't do long Marketing: It's been a while .
User Interface: very impressive .
Project Manager: And what what is the acceptable criteria ? Is there like a scale that we have to hit ?
Marketing: Oh no . They just told me to
Industrial Designer: Marketing: pick my own criteria and have you guys evaluate it basically .
Project Manager: Alright then .
Marketing: So that's that .
Project Manager: Okay . Well , let's see .
Marketing:
