Marketing: For the functional requirements and especially for the for the user requirements . I prepare a marketing report and we have to find the weaknesses and and the the improvements we could do to the current remote controls . And also I di I did a study with for the incorporation of new technologies it seems that the remote controls have been have remained the same for the last five , ten years . There is no no significant difference between the the b the first new controls and Project Manager: Okay . Sh next slide ?
Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: Well  more most of the people think that remote controls are ugly , thoroughly . So and they they admit that the the they should uh s they would uh spend more money in a fancier remote control , which is which is good and it's interesting point . Also the people are worried about about the R*_S_I_ disease , which is if you repeat the sa the same movement , which is not a with a not very appropriate device , you you will have problems whe when you will get old . So s people are uh are worried about the the shape of the of the remote control . They are also  they get angry very often because they lost the remote control very often , so I think it would be a good point to to l to to find a a solution to any beep any alarm or something incorporated to with the remote control every time it it get lost .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: And also I found that young people the the younger people are the more interested they are in incorporating new technologies in the in the remote control .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: So  in my opinion the Mando this Mando shouldn't be very small because the smaller it is , the more like the the liklier it is to get lost . Liklier or more likely ?
User Interface: More likely . Marketing: likely . Okay . Uh people also complain because they they they all have the same size of the buttons for buttons who w which are not very use like f uh memorising channels or or this kind of actions which are not very often but they they shouldn't they shouldn't have the same importance in the in the uh in the remote cont in the remote control . Also the z the design should fit the hand shape . So it may be interesting to to think in a in both prototypes , for right and left handed people .
User Interface: Well th the on the thing is though , most remote controls are used by more than one person . So unless you're kind of targeting single people you know you're gonna maybe
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: cut out some a lot of your market .
Marketing: I dunno I th Anyway I think it could be int interesting to to release some a a small fraction of of this remote controls .
Industrial Designer: Well maybe it could be a universal design .
Marketing: Sorry ?
Industrial Designer: A universal design , which is which is good for both the hands .
User Interface: Still shaped for yeah for your hand but not for a particular hand , right ?
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah ? That's right , whether it's left hand or right hand ,
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: but but don't you think that the two points are clashing , one thing you are saying design should fit the hand shape and it should not be very small ?
Marketing: Sorry ?
Industrial Designer: The first and the third point , they are clashing .
User Interface: Well it can still be a , you can still extend past the hand .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
User Interface: Uh .
Marketing: Like uh Industrial Designer: So fitting the hand doesn't mean much then .
User Interface: Well it means like , this remote here is kind of is very thin and long so instead of having you know you might have it kind of a bit bigger
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm mm-hmm .
Marketing: Yeah , like User Interface: or , you know , with maybe some some finger molds or something .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: So it means design should be similar to the traditional ones ?
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Little sleek , longer ?
User Interface: Industrial Designer: And it should fit the hand .
Marketing: No no I was thinking of so like something Project Manager: Something with the shape of the palm ?
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm .
Marketing: yeah .
User Interface: Some finger grips maybe .
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: You could even have some buttons like you know on the sides and everything ,
Project Manager: On the sides .
Marketing: Yeah yeah . It sh it shouldn't it shouldn't be symmetric symmetrical .
User Interface: but Industrial Designer: Mm-hm mm-hmm mm-hmm .
Marketing: Not anymore . That's what yeah .
Project Manager: And then finally Marketing: And finally , the incorporation of a L_C_D_ or a speech recognition system in the remote control could also be interesting , but I don't know if the budget would be large enough .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah . First I'm just wondering about the L_C_D_ stuff because uh because Marketing: But most of yeah most of the young people to thirty to thirty years old were really interested in this kind of technology .
Project Manager: Yeah , so maybe it's a good time for me to uh to bring you to some new uh new informations . We had the new requirements from the so uh from the head offices of the company , and so they wanted so they want to um they would like to be restricted to T_V_ .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay , I dunno if you had this information already . No ,
User Interface: No .
Project Manager: so they want us to restrict the remote control to T_V_ only because of time limitations . Um they want also uh Marketing: Actually this marketing report is restricted to T_V_ remote controls .
Project Manager: Excellent . So we have also to focus more on the internet aspects because well well te teletext is outdated now and uh finally , it should be clear that the corporate image , that means colours and logos of the co our company should be clearly inde identified in the product . So
