Marketing: Okay now I think for this one I could Would you guys prefer use the whiteboard or mayb maybe I'll just do it on right on the screen where you can see it . Um , we're gonna be doing an evaluation report together based on the protoptype that we've just seen . Um and looking looking back at my notes from our both our conceptual and our functional meetings , um I made a list of what our original requirements and goals were , um , back to our kick-off meeting this morning . Um , and we'll evaluate as to whether we've s done what we set out to do . Um and we're gonna do it on a one to seven scale where one is true and seven is false . So basically the lower p the lower the points the better . Okay so question number one . Does the remote whoops . Sorry . Oh I'm not gonna be able um , I'll do it on the whiteboard . I can't change it so I'm g I'm gonna ask you to push it down once .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: I'll write down our scores up on the Project Manager: Ooh .
Marketing: Okay so number one . Do we have a fancy look-and-feel ?
Industrial Designer: Feel I think .
User Interface: Mm .
Industrial Designer: We've been quite successful with the rubber coating
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: and Project Manager: The look is a little bit more playful .
User Interface: Well Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah I guess that depends on your definition of fancy , but it's definitely different .
Project Manager: Oh definitely different yeah .
Marketing: It's not your traditional yeah .
Industrial Designer: I think the colour has a lot to do with it . I mean th the colours we were given for making the prototype aren't the colours that I think we would've necessarily chosen .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: It's not the kind of ooh uh at all sleek
Project Manager: Oh you were only given red and black ?
Industrial Designer: red , black and yellow , and orange .
Project Manager: Oh okay .
User Interface: Yeah so Industrial Designer: Um User Interface: not very sleek and we don't wanna go for black because most remote controls are black or grey .
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: So we want it to be stand out that way , anyway .
Project Manager: Yeah . Okay .
Industrial Designer: But if you can imagine that in like a s just a maybe uh a kind of pale metallic-y finish or something User Interface: Yeah . A metallic-y finish we were thinking .
Industrial Designer: Well I know know it's for rubber .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: I mean diff if you can visualise this in nice colours I think it would look quite fancy . User Interface: Polished . Okay Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah . I kinda I like the potato look .
Project Manager: It's mango . Industrial Designer: Oh well , potato , mango , fruit and veg .
User Interface: We we were we were thinking about  Marketing: It's very different . It's what ?
Project Manager: It's mango . Marketing: Oh sorry the mango the mango look .
Industrial Designer: Potato's fine . Potato's fine .
User Interface: yeah .
Marketing: Yeah it is , fruit or vegetable depends on your mood .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Yeah . Totally . It's really adaptable .
Marketing: So I myself would say a one or a two .
Project Manager: Yeah . I would say two . Personally .
User Interface: I w I'd say two I think .
Marketing: It's a two ?
Industrial Designer: For the
Marketing: Okay ,
User Interface: Fanciness .
Marketing: and p
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: fancy Marketing: One being true . So Industrial Designer: I uh two , three . Marketing: Two .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Okay , actu that's pro that's gonna get confusing , like that . Okay so question number two was is it techn technologically innovative ? So I know we have the kinetic energy which is very innovative .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah and the use of the rubber .
Marketing: Use of the rubber , the use of the L_E_D_ .
Industrial Designer: For the anti-R_S_I_ .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: The L_E_D_ use isn't particularly innovative
Marketing: Isn't Industrial Designer: and we don't have any scroll buttons , it's all pushbuttons ,
User Interface: Mm .
Industrial Designer: there's no L_C_D_ control , so if we're thinking about the rest of the market , it's sort of probably halfway .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: In some aspects it is , like we said .
Project Manager: Yeah . I'd say maybe three .
User Interface: I'll go for three as well .
Marketing: Yeah . And I think I mean it it's tough to say because we were we didn't want it to be any more innovative than this , because then that would've defeated the purpose .
Project Manager: Yeah we want it simple .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Though it was our specification .
User Interface: No . Wouldn't be simple , yeah .
Marketing: So I mean I we'll put three , but I think we actually reached our goal .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: We didn't want it any more than that . Okay question number three . Uh , will it be easy to use ?
Project Manager: I think so . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah very .
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: I think one for that .
Marketing: Yeah . S Yeah
Project Manager: Yeah . One .
Marketing: I think it's Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: you can't really get confused with that .
User Interface: No .
Project Manager: Th
Marketing: I mean , there'll be s we have to work out the uh number the plus system .
Project Manager: The plus number thing .
User Interface: Yeah that's the only thing yeah .
Marketing: But once that's figured out , it should be fine .
Industrial Designer: Yeah and perhaps the turning on but User Interface: Marketing: Number four . Is this a good-looking remote ?
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Marketing: Remember that seventy five percent of users find most remote controls ugly .
User Interface: It's definitely Industrial Designer: Again I think the colour comes into this .
Project Manager: Yeah colour will definitely be a factor .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: I think that the logo could be smaller .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Project Manager: And maybe not such a prominent way .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Maybe like at the bottom , kind of .
User Interface: But the Industrial Designer: Not in User Interface: Remember the management said that it it had to be prominent .
Project Manager: Oh it just had to be on there I guess .
Marketing: Whoops .
User Interface: Yeah . Marketing: Should just not touch it .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Don't worry . Marketing: This time it's the three I killed . I was just wondering if it should be like flatter . Or Industrial Designer: I suppose I've got quite big hands .
Project Manager: I like the appeal of it being like a big glob in your hand .
Marketing: Well User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: But you know what I've just thought of there now . What where's it gonna sit in your living room ? Is it not gonna fall off the arm of the sofa ?
Project Manager: Maybe if the bottom was just sort of flat , and then the rest is like
Marketing: Yeah the bottom could be like ch chopped a bit .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: round .
User Interface: But then it wouldn't sit as comfortably in your hand .
Marketing: Oh . That's true .
Project Manager: It would still be comfortable I think . We c we could handle it I think .
Industrial Designer: Thing is like that , it's not going anywhere particularly .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Maybe , it could it could be on the bottom , so you wouldn't loo like if it's flat here , so it sits up .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Like that .
User Interface: Oh that would be nice . Project Manager: Ah it'd fall over all the time though . It'd be annoying .
Industrial Designer: Uh yeah , it's less um , what's th ha .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: I g If it's weighted maybe .
Project Manager: User Interface: Project Manager: 'Kay we're done designing .
Industrial Designer: H it's got higher centre of gravity like that .
Marketing: Details , details . Project Manager: Come on .
Marketing: Okay . So , is this a good-looking remote ? Would we wanna show it off to our friends ? User Interface: Three . You would though , 'cause it's bit it's more interesting than other remotes .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: I think , it was another colour and it was like I think it'd look okay . I think maybe a two .
Marketing: Yeah ?
Industrial Designer: I would definitely go for that rather than like your average plain old remote like that ,
Marketing: I mean I gue yeah , it's personal taste , but User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: but definitely in another colour , I'm not happy with those colours .
Marketing: Okay , so should we say two for that ?
Project Manager: Sure .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah ?
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Okay . Uh , question number five . What's um will people be willing to spend twenty five Euros on this product ? Remember that eighty percent of users were willing to spend more money when a remote control looked fancy .
User Interface: I think we have to market it in the right way , that um to say that it is simplistic .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So people don't just see it and think , uh , this is so simplistic , I don't want to spend twenty five Euros .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: We have to market it .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah it the marketing will have a lot to do with it .
Industrial Designer: And the kinetic energy , shaker-style-y , whoo ,
User Interface: And the kinetic energy part . Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah . Durable . Industrial Designer: ooh no . Marketing: Shake it and the buttons fall off . Industrial Designer: But you know , those'll be firmly on .
User Interface: Don't shake  Oh no the plus . You're
Marketing: No , I guess , I don't know much about the remote control industry , how much your average sells for ,
User Interface: use the zero .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Make a new one .
Project Manager: But you're our Marketing Expert . Marketing: but I know I am , aren't I ?
User Interface: I think they're about ten po ten pound , aren't they ? About ten pounds . Fifteen ?
Marketing: But you don't have to buy batteries . So in the long term this can actually save you money .
Industrial Designer: Mm , yeah , that's true .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Oh . Exactly . Exactly .
Marketing: So we'll market it that way too .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Good point .
Marketing: So yeah I think with a good marketing scheme um and the personalisation options , it'll User Interface: Project Manager: Yeah . I would give it a two still though .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah .
User Interface: Mm .
Marketing: Yeah . Okay number six . Can someone read it out ?
Industrial Designer: Does this prototype match the operating behaviour of the average user .
Marketing: Or Project Manager: Mm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Um yeah . So that was mainly that the statistics Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: I think it does very well .
Project Manager: Oh yeah .
Industrial Designer: Because Marketing: we said Industrial Designer: yeah , because the most accessible buttons are the volume and the and the channel-changing .
User Interface: The zap Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: And it's just you won't have to think about it .
User Interface: yeah .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: You don't have to look down to find them .
Marketing: Industrial Designer: They're clearly there , easy to use .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Simple .
User Interface: Uh Marketing: Yeah I guess the I think the key word there is average , 'cause there were some people that used the uh video input and sound and stuff .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: But they're not you and I really .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: So . Okay so one ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Okay . Number seven . C Heather could you push it down ? Will this remote control be easy to find when lost ? Remember that fifty percent of users lose their remote regularly .
Project Manager: We have the alarm system .
Marketing: Now is there the is the alarm system still was it implemented ?
User Interface: Yeah the bu when you press the alarm system , the lights behind the and it'll vibra Industrial Designer: It Yeah
Marketing: Industrial Designer: l lights on and , or flash as well . But I mean it's not obviously obvious from the outside that that's gonna happen 'cause you can't s particularly see an alarm .
User Interface: It'll be again in the marketing .
Project Manager: I thought the light from the inside was gonna light up .
User Interface: Yeah . The light it will .
Project Manager: Or or was it gonna make a noise ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah . But when the alarm's not User Interface: But Industrial Designer: yeah . If you  User Interface: But both  Marketing: Project Manager: You press the button it makes a noise right ?
Marketing: It turns into a duck and starts quacking .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: You could s Project Manager: Yeah . Awesome . Awesome .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . User Interface: Oh , that would be brilliant .
Marketing: Here I am .
User Interface: I'd be tempted to Industrial Designer: Well the thing is , if it was had an alarm system ,
Marketing: Um Industrial Designer: I mean , when it when it lights up as we I mean it could light up when the alarm went . But if it was hidden underneath the cushion or something , there wouldn't be any point .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: So you can't see the alarm , but it would light up .
User Interface: It would have to be in the market
Project Manager: I though w it was gonna make a noise .
Marketing: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Alarm ,
User Interface: Yeah but you still couldn't see it .
Industrial Designer: but you can't see an alarm inside uh the alarm system itself .
User Interface: It would just be a little speaker on the back or something .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: We oh you're just explaining why it's not on the prototype .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah . It w yeah .
Marketing: But yeah , it'll be there .
Project Manager: Oh okay .
Marketing: So we can we could say that Project Manager: Whoo . Okay .
Industrial Designer: Sorry .
User Interface: Marketing: We can give it a one , because compared to every other remote ever m ever made , this one will be easier to find .
Project Manager: Yeah , totally .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Okay . Um Industrial Designer: Sorry Heather .
User Interface: Project Manager: No problem , mm .
Industrial Designer: That wasn't very clear .
Marketing: Question number eight . Will it be easy to learn how to use this remote when brand new ? Remember that thirty four percent of users usually found it difficult .
Project Manager: Totally .
Marketing: So it has to be yeah , it's eas they'll pick it up and they'll know what to do .
User Interface: So the plu the plus w once that's written down on the page that'll be really simple ,
Marketing: The plus thing needs to be worked on .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah
User Interface: won't it ?
Industrial Designer: I think Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: just because it's we've decided to reduce it down to the basic buttons , I think that in itself makes it so much easier to use .
Marketing: Well User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Do Does it make more sense for the middle one to be an just an enter button ? So then you would have to push two buttons every time at least .
Project Manager: Yeah , so it's just like channel six , six , enter .
User Interface: That kind of annoys me though , when it's zero six when you have to press Marketing: Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Yeah but you don't have to press zeros .
User Interface: I don't know why . Marketing: You could just press six enter ,
User Interface: Oh okay . Right .
Project Manager: And then like twelve , enter .
Industrial Designer: And or sixty six enter , y
Marketing: or one two enter .
User Interface: Alright , aye .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah I think that's probably more straightforward . Yeah . Good  Project Manager: User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Um , okay so we can  User Interface: I'd say w yeah one .
Marketing: we'll say yes it's uh one ?
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Ooh . Mm .
Marketing: Question number nine .
Industrial Designer: Oh .
Marketing: Uh , will it minimise the effects of R_S_I_ , which was repeated strain injury ?
Industrial Designer: Injury .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Um , which affected over a quarter of users .
User Interface: Hmm .
Marketing: S
Project Manager: I think so . It's like right in the User Interface: But if you're zapping Project Manager: Your thumb might get a little bit uh Industrial Designer: Yeah , that's what I was thinking .
User Interface: yeah . I don't think it will f
Industrial Designer: We may have to do some more research into other strain injuries that we don't know about .
User Interface: Yeah ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: the biology .
Project Manager: But it is soft .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: It's soft ,
Project Manager: And that's kind of what the um
Marketing: and User Interface: Mm .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: the PowerPoint slide thing said would be good for R_S_I_ ,
Marketing: And people could Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: so maybe it is but Marketing: I don't know what other options there are .
Industrial Designer: I think we're getting Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: that's true .
Marketing: Could I mean , you could hold it in your left hand and d use your index finger .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Marketing: But there's not really any other options unless it's like a keyboard .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: So , I think we did as as much as you can with a remote control .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: So , one or two do you think ?
Industrial Designer: I think User Interface: I I'd say t
Industrial Designer: yeah , I think too .
User Interface: two . Yeah
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: Two okay . Okay number ten . Did we somehow incorporate the company colour and logo ?
Project Manager: Yes we did .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Yeah . Marketing: Now is the colour gonna be there even if it's like vanilla ?
User Interface: N We we can't really do that
Marketing: Is the yellow User Interface: because for example on the banana theme we can't have it as being yellow .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: It won't stand out .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: So n it's not always gonna be the same colour .
Marketing: It sounds like the colour's something that we Project Manager: Well , yeah the colours are yellow and grey .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Gray , yeah .
Project Manager: So it could be grey on the banana one .
User Interface: Yeah , could be grey .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: But I mean the yell yeah d yellow's ugly though ,
User Interface: Yeah that's right ,
Marketing: depending on the User Interface: we didn't even rea
Marketing: So I think we'll have to talk to our executive managers , and see if we can get away with just the R_R_ .
Industrial Designer: Mm . Yeah . I think this is the
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: the factor that we've been least successful in confronting .
Marketing: Okay .
User Interface: Perhaps a metallic
Project Manager: Mm , yeah .
User Interface: or or like that's grey , and it wouldn't be that expensive to have a little bit of metal . No ?
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: That isn't rubber .
Marketing: And the buttons in the middle .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Yeah . Marketing: Okay So , do you think that's more of a three then ? Three , four ?
Industrial Designer: Four I think . Well I don't Marketing: Four ?
Industrial Designer: what do what Project Manager: Hum .
Marketing: Well we have good reasons for it , so we but we can still put a a four ?
Industrial Designer: Okay .
User Interface: Okay .
Marketing: Okay , and final question . Um , did we stay true to our motto and put the fashion into electronics ?
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Marketing: Current trends of fruits and veggies , desire for sponginess . Project Manager: I would say so .
Marketing: User Interface: Following that briefing we did .
Project Manager: But maybe more like two 'cause there's no like pictures of fruit , it's just sort of naming it by a fruit .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: With the with the colours .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Like um the colour scheme names and stuff .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: No , uh , are the plates interchangeable ?
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: I think I missed a few Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: they are ? So you can have banana and kiwi and Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah . Marketing: okay . Okay , so that's something that's kind of in the making too , like maybe it'll become more Project Manager: That's fashionable in itself to have interchangeable plates .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: It is .
User Interface: I think w yeah , I think one . Well that was our brief and we followed the brief .
Industrial Designer: The thing is , I think if somebody saw that and you said what was that inspired from , I don't know if you'd instantly say mango .
User Interface: Well we haven't got a big banana but Oh yeah . Project Manager: Be like User Interface: No . No . Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: Project Manager: Maybe if it was scented .
User Interface: Oh that would be class . Marketing: Industrial Designer: Oh yeah . There we go . That would be great .
Project Manager: Yeah we have money for that . Um User Interface: Project Manager: Alright so based on this evaluation , do we average them out sorta thing ?
Industrial Designer: Um Marketing: Yes we do . So I wh what was I gonna put for that ?
Project Manager: Oh .
Marketing: A two for fashion ?
Project Manager: I would say two .
User Interface: Yeah . Two .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Marketing: Okay , so our average there , five , six , eight , ten , eleven , twelve , thirteen , fifteen , nineteen , twenty one , divided by eleven
Project Manager: One point nine or something ?
User Interface: It's Industrial Designer: It's Marketing: is User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: I don't know these things . Um , between one and two .
Industrial Designer: Between one and two .
Marketing: Between okay .
Industrial Designer: So that's pretty fantastic .
User Interface: Close to two .
Marketing: Um .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah , that's very good 'cause the highest we coulda got is one .
Project Manager: Alright .
User Interface: I got Marketing: Does that seem right then ?
User Interface: Yeah , 'cause we've a four to bring down .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Marketing: Okay .
User Interface: Uh , aye .
Industrial Designer: It seems like it should be more around two .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah . Uh , should've added five .
Industrial Designer: Do we have an online calculator ?
Project Manager: I'm attempting to do that right now .
User Interface: This is .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Project Manager: Yeah it is one point nine . Ooh .
Industrial Designer: Oh wow . Well done .
User Interface: Yay .
Project Manager: Go Heather Pauls .
Industrial Designer: Well that's excellent .
User Interface: Marketing:
