D: D: That went well ,
D: thank you .
B: 'Kay .
A: That's great .
D: Perfect .
A: Alright ,
A: let me just PowerPoint this up .
A:   A: Right so um
A: this meeting will be about the conceptual design ,
A: don't ask me s precisely what conceptual design is ,
A: it's just something important that we need to do .
A: Um , think of it 's kind of uh turning the abstract into slightly more concrete .
A: In this meeting ideally we'll come to some final decisions on what we're gonna do for the prototype .
A: Um . Right so um ,
A: apologies for the last meeting ,
A: it was brought to my attention that I did not make the roles clear enough ,
A: um , so I will attempt to do so more accurately in this particular meeting .
A: Um , fair enough ,
A: thanks for the input ,
A: 's always good . Um .
A: So ,
A: basically all we're gonna do is have some presentations again much like last time ,
A: um , and gonna go through you ,
A: uh whoever wants to go first is f fine by me
A: um and we'll collate what we know about um what we discussed in the last meeting , possible directions .
A: And then we'll make some more decisions on um basic
A: uh firm up our idea on how we want this remote control to look and work .
A: So ,
A: perfect .
A: So ,
A: without th further ado , whoever wants to go first is free to .
B: I'll go first .
D: Go ahead .
A: Alright Nathan ,
A: take it away .
A: It is Nathan right ?
A: I'm not calling you the wrong name over and over again ?
B: No
B: Nathan's fine .
D: A: Good .
B: It's either Nathan or participant two .
A: D: C: Mister participant two that is . B: Uh .
A: D: Nice .
B: Okay . Um ,
A: Nice .
B: basically what I'm gonna have to talk to you about today is um component design
B: and it's been brought to my attention that we may be somewhat limited as to what we can do
B: because of what our manufacturer offers ,
B: so A: Mm .
B: Basically what I'm gonna be doing is talking to you about that .
B: Um , components of a remote control , okay . We've already kind of gone over this
B: but we're gonna have to get into more detail
B: and probably have to reach some conclusions some time soon .
B: Energy source , um , our manufacturer offers a variety of energy sources , your standard battery , solar cells .
B: Our manufacturer didn't say anything about lithium
B: so we might have to look B: if we do go that route , we might have to look elsewhere .
B: Um , and also there's a kinetic energy possibility .
B: Basically , it's like a um the idea of moving the remote would create enough energy to keep it running .
B: So that's one possibility
B: but I don't know whether that would be powerful enough to illuminate a touch screen .
A: Hmm .
D: Mm .
B: So we'll have to look into that .
B: Um , the case , we have a few options , plastic , rubber or wood .
B: Um and then as far as the way it's shaped , we can do standard boring flat ,
B: which we probably don't wanna do ,
B: curved or very sexy double curved .
A: What kind of th thickness are we looking at ?
B: Um , I imagine that we could specify .
B: Um , I don't see any reason to go outside of the convention of three or four millimetres . Yeah .
A: Okay ,
A: brilliant .
B: Um , the buttons , there are multiple scroll buttons available from our manufacturer ,
B: but to use those we'd have to use more chips ,
B: um and that would cost us more .
B: And if we do go with the rubber doubled curved case um we'll have to use rubber push buttons
B: because the other buttons aren't compatible with that .
A: Hmm .
D: Right .
B: Um and just a little note there ,
B: touch screen equals many chips
B: which equals many Euro .
A: D: Right .
D: Nice .
B: Um , one thing that I noticed was that most remotes operate on a infrare on the infrared part of the spectrum .
B: So you notice when you push a button on a remote you can't see anything coming out of it
B: but in fact there is light coming out of the remote
B: and you know the television can detect that .
B: And if you were to record B: if you were to make a video recording you could actually see the light .
B: Uh one thing that I thought might be interesting
B: was to use part use visible light coming out of the remote , just kind of as a fun gimmick .
A: Hmm .
B: So you could actually see something coming out of the remote when you pushed it .
D: Interesting .
B: Course it'd have to be a part of the spectrum that wouldn't damage the human eye or anything like that .
C: A: M Maybe D: Mm . Good call .
A: is there an option that we can have that off or on
A: so a person can select like D: Choose it .
B: Yeah .
B: I am sure that we could do that .
B: Um , of course A: Yeah I like the idea ,
A: it's a good idea .
B: Yeah ,
B: just as a fun gimmick .
A: Yeah .
B: Just to set us apart a little bit .
B: Um , and then on to the circuit board that we're gonna use , also known as the chip .
B: Uh , we really don't have any way around the T_A_ one one eight three five .
