Project Manager: Mm yeah . Okay , we got five minutes to go in this meeting ,
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: so um I d I think we've actually very conveniently just uh come to uh a good point to s to sum up um .
Industrial Designer: Cool .
Project Manager: So um b b Kate and Kendra now go away and uh pa play play with a bit of Plasticine or play-dough ,
Industrial Designer: Play with play-dough . User Interface: Project Manager: whatever it is on the other side of the Atlantic .
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: Um and actually put what we've discussed into something uh I was gonna say concrete ,
Marketing: Hmm .
Project Manager: but that's a slightly inappropriate word Industrial Designer: Project Manager: um to something that we can we can see and um Andrew n can go away and th th think about how we can uh actually market this as a concept and not j not just a uh um a a simple remote control .
Marketing: Uh can I just get some things clear just for my sake .
Project Manager: Yeah , certainly , of course .
Marketing: Our energy source is gonna be
Project Manager: I think I think we decided that we're gonna for
Marketing: long term .
Project Manager: for simplicity of , you know , manufacturing and uh maintenance that we will go for a a long term battery source um ,
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Marketing: Cool . Uh Project Manager: I you know , on the basis that um that , you know , if we're going for making it a fashion statement , then uh people are more likely to change it anyway uh before i it runs out and um make an assumption that we we can aim for a battery that will last most people for uh we'll say at least five five ten years
Marketing: Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: and that we'll w we will guarantee it for for five years um .
Marketing: And we're having a custom chip ?
Project Manager: We're having a a custom chip , but given the the we've cut the functions down , um that will hopefully not be too problematic , but given that um technol technological innovation is important ,
Industrial Designer:  Project Manager: then we need to , I'll say it again , technologically innovate .
Marketing: Project Manager: Um and uh we we , know , we must resist any efforts to uh to try and water that down um .
Marketing: And interchangeable case ?
Project Manager: I i interchangeable case seems to be um um important to the concept .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Um it it should be cheap , you know , if if we avoid any , you know , electrical connections .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: And uh i you know , i if we can come up with some way of of allowing people to actually personalise it uh to whatever they want , then uh I mean uh uh this is totally new .
Marketing: Mm , mm-hmm .
Project Manager: We d we don't know whether that to what extent people do it or not , but if they've at least got a a good selection of um covers that they can use anyway , and uh and if if we can keep them , you know , rolling , then uh you know , so they can get them in the supermarket when they go down to um a any of the famous supermarkets , I won't mention any mention any names ,
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Project Manager: um it's uh it's good for the supermarket
User Interface: Project Manager: and it's good for us and it hopefully makes them feel better .
Marketing: And uh are we gonna have it il being illuminated from inside onto the buttons or Project Manager: Um the that I mean that's no , because we've got so few buttons that it that actually makes that redundant .
Industrial Designer: Mm , does actually , yeah , yeah .
User Interface: Yeah , I think so too .
Marketing: Cool .
User Interface: Yeah , and especially for making them so like different and Industrial Designer: Mm different to feel ,
Project Manager: Yeah , yeah .
Industrial Designer: yeah , yeah .
Project Manager: And the User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: you know , that that solves one of the problems of b of battery life , 'cause that would well that would clobber the battery life ,
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Yep , yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: so no , I mean given the nature of the buttons we're having , it's actually uh uh unnecessary I think .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Are we having it that it's any angle , or is it just Project Manager: As uh as wide
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: cer certainly wider angle than than current ,
Marketing: As wide as possible .
Project Manager: so that if you're holding it , you know , anyway like you're likely to and uh it's uh you know , i i it will work most of the time um .
Industrial Designer: Mm yeah .
User Interface: Like this or like this .
Project Manager: Not like my my mum who points it at the ceiling and wonders why the th th the television doesn't work .
Industrial Designer: User Interface:  Project Manager: Um yeah , I mean I d I th I sorta envisaged that if if this was the the thing , then sort of the the whole of the top would be the uh the infrared uh .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Yeah , kinda like this whole Industrial Designer: Yeah , mm .
Project Manager: Um so User Interface: So you could use like this and it would go .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Yeah , 'cause I mean the r reality is people are  they're gonna be looking at the television whilst they're using it , the chances are , so if if they're holding it anyway , the they're reasonably likely to be holding it to use it ,
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: then uh then that that's the sort of coverage that we want .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Um okay , d we're all clear where we go from here .
