Project Manager: Okay , back to this meeting . Um we're down to the prototype presentation .
Industrial Designer: Ta-da .
User Interface: Alright .
Project Manager: Over to you .
Industrial Designer: Right .
User Interface: Well .
Project Manager: Ooh , two .
User Interface: Yeah , well you see , each made one , we didn't have enough yellow dough .
Project Manager: Ah .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: This is the one that I made .
Project Manager: Uh-huh .
User Interface: It is uh curved , easy to hold , hand-held , nice and small with big easy buttons . This is like a scroll , but they are push buttons and they enter takes you into the different menus . Of course we need someone who's experienced with the television . I mean this is the infrared thing that's gonna zap at the television . Uh I'm not quite sure how to make that , but I'm sure it will work . Uh this is on off switch , 'cause I think we do need that , and I think it gives it a nice balance .
Project Manager: 'Kay .
User Interface: And it's gonna have the logo imprinted on it uh in there .
Project Manager: Okay .
User Interface: Um as for what it's actually made of well the function of these buttons is up , down , left and right in the different menus .
Project Manager: Okay .
User Interface: Uh position , I presume that just means right right on it , easy to see . The main feature of it is just a simple design , simple , lack of uh buttons all over the place . Right ? Form curved , kind of smooth , hand-held , makes it feel nice to hold . Uh material , I think Kate's gonna tackle that quite a bit , but I think we have two different options , because we did make a another one , which wa uh is in the shape of banana , it's just if you can imagine this as yellow with black buttons , like just like this but in the shape of a banana ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
User Interface: which is also nice and easy to hold and feels good and has a similar sort of scroll push button technology , just a slightly different design .
Project Manager: User Interface: Also with on off switch and infrared  uh I had envisioned it in hard smooth plastic . So like uh well , I dunno , what's it like ? I guess like an existing remote control , but molded and smooth . Whereas otherwise we'd thought , like with this one or mix and match , just we were gonna see what you thought , the uh a more spongy rubber cover with spongy buttons . So we have the two options we can follow , either the smooth hard plastic or the spongy rubber , depending on cost restraints . And what we well , what conclusion we reach when we discuss it . Uh material yeah , that's what I have to say about material . Can I scroll down on there and see what else Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Well colour , I think I definitely have a preference towards bright yellow with black buttons , because that's the company colours , but if anybody's got any other suggestions , I'm quite willing to consider them as well . So , it just depends what you think about these ideas and if I'm yeah , maybe , Kate , you better say what you think about them .
Industrial Designer: Um well I don't have very much to add . Um the the case oops , that's the uh on off button just come off our prototype .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: The the case can be either um spongy rubber or hard plastic . We're not absolutely sure about a combination of the two , but it can be either of those . We have the technology to do that . Um and as for the the actual components um , uh Steph just said this is a quite a cheap device to manufacture . We have simple rubber push buttons um which provide all the functionality we need . Um the um the diode that actually does the um infrared is at the end , it's the stalk of the banana , or it's just the thing at the end of this version . Um so that's for material . Colour , well uh Steph's the expert on colour . Um we we don't have any particular restrictions on that . Yeah , I think that's all we've got to say really .
User Interface: I thin as for as for the fruit or organic theme , I guess this one is obviously fruit shaped .
Industrial Designer: A banana .
User Interface: This one has n banana , yeah . This one has no obvious connections to fruit , but because it's round and molded , it kinda makes you think sort of organic , touchy-feely , kiddie , it's more like yeah , you'd expect it to be like a child's sorta toy remote control instead of a real one , which I quite like that sort of image . 'Cause it's very big and chunky and child-friendly and
Industrial Designer: Would you care to examine the prototypes , see how they feel in the hand ?
User Interface: Hold them , you see , you know . Curvature , is it to your liking ?
Project Manager: Oh I see , the on-off's in the back .
Industrial Designer: Yes , that's so that your index finger automatically goes straight to it .
User Interface: If you don't wanna tire out your thumbs after all .
Project Manager: And then you can use your thumb . Industrial Designer: And it was partly we thought the design looked better ,
User Interface: Yeah . Project Manager: I could see this thing , unless it's reinforced , having a problem with the you know User Interface: Breaking ,
Project Manager: yeah .
User Interface: oh right . Well you see , that's why hard plastic would be quite a good thing for it , because then it'd just be rigid .
Marketing: I like the fact that on both of them the keys play such a prominent role .
Project Manager: Hmm .
User Interface: Yeah , we really like we really like that design ,
Marketing: It's really kind of a User Interface: I mean it looks just like a logo , that arrangement of the keys . Like a c like a compass point , you know ,
Marketing: Mm-hmm mm-hmm .
User Interface: just up , down , left and right , and we think we could make that quite a good feature . And it's like the the iPod scroll wheel , but better .
Marketing: Yeah . But it's also like texting ,
User Interface: Yeah . Yeah , yeah ,
Marketing: you don't Industrial Designer: Hmm .
User Interface: I mean it that's what it makes me think of , mobile phones ,
Marketing: Industrial Designer: User Interface: I was try I was thinking , moving your thumb like this , what does that remind me of ?
Industrial Designer: And it's a very simple design ,
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: It's texting .
Industrial Designer: there's not a lot to wrong , the components are cheap to make .
Marketing: It's also in terms of um being lost it's it's quite it looks quite different .
User Interface: Hmm .
Marketing: You know , I I d I have several four remotes , and they all look the same until you get up close and you have to User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: you know , this is really identifiable .
User Interface: I mean the thing is we do need to develop our technology of  I mean actually how to program the menus and what sort of , you know , text box is gonna appear at the bottom of the screen ,
Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
User Interface: but we do definitely think that it's a viable option .
Project Manager: Okay . The next item is evaluation .
Marketing: No , okay .
Project Manager: Uh if that's if you're finished .
User Interface: Uh yeah , we're finished .

Summary: User Interface first summarized the propotype of the remote control discussed before. The remote control should be curved, easy to hold, nice and small with big buttons. Those buttons were a scroll and some push buttons. The body of the remote control shall be smooth plastic or spongy rubber with yellow and black buttons. The remote control would be comfortable to watch because it had suitable curtature and it's on-off was in the back.
