Project Manager: Okay , that kind of brings us to this , let's let's see if we can decide what kind of energy source we want to have first and foremost . Um .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Project Manager: Do we wanna go for batteries or a stand like the one that we saw illustrated earlier ?
Marketing: Oh the base , yeah .
Project Manager: The base , the charging base with rechargeable batteries ?
Industrial Designer: I think the p
User Interface: I always feel like first I wanna know what it looks like , before Project Manager: Hmm .
User Interface: 'Cause if it's something really really small , then it's sort of harder to imagine a base for it , that was p quite a s substantial size sort of standing up Project Manager: Yeah , and we don't have multiple things that it has to control , it just has to control the T_V_ .
Marketing: W
Project Manager: It's not gonna be a huge universal remote .
User Interface: Right .
Marketing: We need to decide , well so we can figure how big it's gonna be , like exactly what buttons we want
Project Manager: What size battery and User Interface: Well , the other thing is like even if it's got a few buttons , so we want it to be bigger than this ,
Marketing: and exactly It could be like this . Yes .
User Interface: 'cause it still fits in your hand , so you still wanted something that's comfortable and substantial , but not necessarily full of buttons .
Marketing: I'd , well uh This one is really comfortable , like I like the sides whatever ,
User Interface: Are you gonna lose it easier ?
Marketing: because But if we have the um , the locator , then we don't have to worry about that .
Industrial Designer: That's true .
Marketing: So we can make it small if we have a l locating device .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: If we do a voice-activated locator , though , we're gonna be looking at a more substantial chip . So User Interface: So i That's the other thing ,
Marketing: Hmm .
User Interface: it's like You know Are we gonna have certain chips that are gonna require bigger size period ?
Marketing: Two double A_s , for this size .
User Interface: But like , you know , if we get more complicated then it's gonna v be have to be bigger to just accommodate the chip size .
Marketing: Right .
Industrial Designer: Honestly , I think the customer would be kind of irritated by the fact that it has a base if we did do a nice small , compact Project Manager: Right . I agree , it's either gonna be bigger with a base or smaller with just Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: So we sh
Marketing: Smaller , without Project Manager: A battery like this guy .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Mm yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Alright , so what direction do you want to go in ? You wanna vote ?
Marketing: I think if we had a a locating device with the small one , I think that seems way more advanced .
Project Manager: I'm kind of I'm kind of leaning in the direction of this kind of
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: I'm a away from the base .
Project Manager: bigger and the base .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: That just seems so clunky and Industrial Designer: 'Kay so Marketing: Yeah , because I mean if even looking at cellphones right now , those trends the smaller the hotter it is ,
User Interface: Smaller and smaller , yeah , yeah , yeah . Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: yeah Industrial Designer: The only problem with that is if you forget to take it out of your pocket and it goes in wash .
User Interface: You're kidding .
Marketing: Oh .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: You know it happens .
Project Manager: Hmm .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: I've had three watches go that way too .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: User Interface: Oh watches I've but I've never washed a cell phone . Marketing: Ouch . A phone , whoa , that would wow , that would hurt .
