Project Manager: Yep . Soon as I get this . Okay . This is our last meeting . Um I'll go ahead and go through the minutes from the previous meeting . Uh and then we'll have a , the prototype presentation . Um then we will um do an evaluation . Uh or we'll see what , what we need to have under the criteria for the evaluation . Then we'll go through the finance and see if we fall within the budget . Um then we'll do the evaluation , and then we can finish up after that with um any changes that we'll need to make , or hopefully everything will fall right in line . Um let's see , minutes from the last meeting . Um we looked at uh the the trends . We had uh the fashion trends that people want a fancy look-and-feel . It was twice as important as anything else . Um they liked fruit and vegetables in the new styles . Um and a spongy feel . So we were talking about trying to incorporate those into our prototype . Um they wanted limited buttons and simplicity . Um then we looked at the uh the method for coming up with our own remote . Um looking at other other devices . Um the iPod , we really liked the look of that . Um we also had uh the kid's remote for a simple idea . Um a two part remote , which was what were were originally looking at . Uh and then um there was talk of spee uh speech recognition um becoming more uh predominant and easier to use . But I think we've still decided not to go with that . Then we looked at the components um the materials for the case , the different energy sources , the different types of chips , um and made a decision on what we were going to use to make our remote . Um and basically how , what were making for the prototype . So I'm going to leave it at that and let you guys take over .
User Interface: The prototype discussion .
Project Manager: The prototype yeah . Do you need a this ?
User Interface: No . Project Manager: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Can try to plug that in there
User Interface: There is our remo the banana .
Marketing: Industrial Designer: but User Interface: Um yeah basically we we st went with the colour yellow . Um working on the principle of a fruit which was mentioned , it's basically designed around a banana .
Project Manager: User Interface: Um but it would be held in such a fashion ,
Marketing: User Interface: where it is , obviously it wouldn't be that floppy 'cause this would be hard plastic . These would be like the rubber , the rubber grips . So that's so that would hopefully help with grip , or like the ergonomics of it . Um but all the controlling would be done with this scroll wheel . You have to use your imagination a little bit . And this here represents the screen , where you , where you'd go through .
Project Manager: Very nice .
User Interface: And the the simplest functions would be um almost identical to an iPod , where that one way ch through channels , that way th other way through channels . Volume up and down . And then to access the more complicated functions you'd you sorta go , you press that and go through the menus . It's that that simple . That just represents the infrared uh beam . That's a simple on and off switch . Um I don't know , we could use the voice . T that blue bits should be yellow , that that'd be where the batteries would be I suppose . And um that's about it . It's as simple as you , we could make it really .
Industrial Designer: Right .
User Interface: Is there anything you want to add ?
Industrial Designer: That's what we have there . That's plastic . Plastic covered with rubber . We might uh add some more underneath here . Maybe give it , give it a form . I mean you're supposed to hold it like that , but um just if you grab it , take it from somewhere ,
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: so yeah ,
User Interface: Doesn't make much make much difference .
Industrial Designer: you have some rub yeah .
User Interface: You could work left-handed or right-handed I suppose .
Industrial Designer: Exactly , use both . Might as well think about User Interface: T the actual thing might be smaller .
Industrial Designer: Th think about the button as well . Like either put either one one on either side or
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: What but what's that button ?
Industrial Designer: not do it at all . It's a quick on-off button .
User Interface: Just the on and off .
Project Manager: Uh , 'kay .
Industrial Designer: That's um
Marketing: Industrial Designer: yeah I think it's pretty important . So you don't have to fiddle with that .
Project Manager: 'Kay .
Industrial Designer: Right ? Um that's not um Project Manager: Industrial Designer: I'd say a bit smaller would probably be nice . You wanna play with that over there .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: There you go .
User Interface: It's you know it's flimsy 'cause it's made out of heavy Play-Doh ,
Marketing: Project Manager: Would you like to uh Industrial Designer: Right .
User Interface: but Marketing: Pretty impressive .
Project Manager: Well done .
User Interface: Marketing: Kind of a banana .
User Interface: And whether or not it would fall into the cost everything I suppose . With the scroll and the L_C_D_ .
Project Manager: Well luckily we are going to find out . Or not luckily . Um do you have a marketing presentation for us .
Industrial Designer:
