Project Manager: Okay , so maybe if we go on to evaluation cri criteria
Marketing: Okay .
Project Manager: and then we'll there Industrial Designer: Yeah , see the budget .
Project Manager: I suspect we're gonna have a couple of minor finance issues , but um we'll se I'm sure we can get around them somehow .
Marketing:  Industrial Designer: Project Manager: We'll just send all of our manufacturing to some nice poor country
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: and cut some of the prices that way .
User Interface: Marketing: Wales . Industrial Designer: Project Manager: Wales , for example . Marketing: Mm . Cool , okay . Right , okay .  Fabulous ,
Project Manager: Marketing Expert .
Marketing: yeah . Okay , cool . So what we're gonna do is prefer prepare the evaluation of the new design . Um so we're gonna be using a seven point scale ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: so one is , you know , yes , it totally meets with that requirement and seven is , no , it really doesn't , we need to go back and start again . Um , you know . Basically , what I did was I went through all the like user requirements and things that we've done and we've worked on and like made a list of them . Um you know , so that we can evaluate each one and like so it was about going back to the start and saying oh yeah , we did manage to do that , or oh no , we really forgot about that .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Okay ?
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: Cool , so these are what they are . Oh Project Manager: So for each of these we need to give it a one to seven . Is that right ?
Marketing: Yes , I did have A_ , B_ , C_ , and D_ down here , but it seems to have turned into like just bullet points .
Project Manager: Mm dots , never mind .
Marketing: Okay . But if you can imagine that they say A_ , B_ , C_ , and D_ , then that would be really good .
Industrial Designer:  I guess we'll give it maximum points in everything . User Interface: Yeah , the yeah , it's definitely attractive . Industrial Designer: Project Manager: Yeah , I agree .
User Interface: Oh , the locatable thing we actually forgot .
Marketing: Well , I thought we'd um kinda said that you'd have a little thing to stick on the T_V_ ?
Project Manager: Yeah , just prepare one now .
User Interface: Yeah . Shall I just prepare it now ?
Marketing: Yeah .
User Interface: It will be red , too .
Marketing: Cool . Okay . So , be attractive to look at . That's this one . What do you all say ?
Industrial Designer: So ?
Project Manager: I reckon it User Interface: S seven was th the maximum , yeah ?
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: I I go for seven .
Industrial Designer: Yes .
Marketing: Oh we're all so proud of the .
Project Manager: Seven , yeah , it's terribly sexy . Yeah .
Marketing: Okay , so that'll be a seven for A_ .
User Interface: Marketing: Could oh no , you can't whilst that's up there . Okay um uh what I've done on the next page is I've set it up so we just put the marks in .
Project Manager: Ah , okay .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Project Manager: Excellent . Except we can't Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: But we can we can Marketing: But that's alright .
Project Manager: uh we can if we Industrial Designer: I can I can take note uh uh Marketing: If you take a note of them , and then I'll put them in in a minute .
Project Manager: then yeah , I'll take a note , it's fine .
Marketing: Okay , so we're all agreeing on seven for A_ ?
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: Cool , okay . Does it match the operating behaviour of the user ?
Industrial Designer: Um the the only thing that we were considering was that uh this thing is kind of more for right-handed people than for left-handed people ,
Project Manager: I think it does .
User Interface: I would think yes , yeah .
Marketing: Yeah . I mean Industrial Designer: so if you're left-handed you're kind of left uh scrolling with your finger .
User Interface: Yeah ,
Project Manager: Alright .
User Interface: so y so we we might do we might want to do like a uh another m model another another version , which is like exactly the mirror image of this one .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: But that's gonna be a problem ,
Industrial Designer: But then yeah .
Project Manager: 'cause you don't always have all left-handers or all right-handers in a family .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: So bu it's it's not a huge problem ,
Marketing: I th I think it's not it's not like it's a pen .
Industrial Designer: because i i it is operatable .
User Interface: But then then I think left-handed people are already used to discrimination anyway ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: so they just Marketing: Yeah , but I mean because it's not like it's a pen , you know , left-handed people can't normally write right-handed ,
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: but they can normally do most things right-handed ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Right .
Marketing: so I would say it's not such a big issue .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: Yeah , because I mean anyway , right-handed people would be able to scroll with it ,
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: I mean you can you can use your finger to to scroll rather than your thumb .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: so i if the majority are right-handed , it's uh Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Marketing: So I mean that does kind of negate the whole R_S_I_ issue .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Marketing: So maybe we need to put that needs a little bit of investigation , maybe give it a five , I would say ?
Project Manager: Um Marketing: What do you what do you all think ?
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Six .
User Interface: Or maybe six , because it's just one one i one among the issues ,
Project Manager: Yeah , I think I think for um User Interface: I mean . Yeah .
Project Manager: I mean most people are right-handed , so in in terms of our greatest target group , I think it's pretty good , but we might want to flag it for management , they want might want to um User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: One more thing is that i
Marketing: Okay .
Industrial Designer: It might be a little clumsy when when it opens up , right ,
Project Manager: They Industrial Designer: so it opens on the side . So  Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: No , yeah , but mm but we have it nicely with the hinges here yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah yeah , I mean yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: So it won't be a problem ,
Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: So you guys can decide wh whether User Interface: it will be and it will be it won't be heavy .
Industrial Designer: Oops .
Marketing: I th I think the alternative is flipping from the top .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , but we which makes it kind of really big , yeah .
User Interface: Yeah well yeah ,
Project Manager: The length is gonna be difficu
User Interface: but it's it's a bit long . It's a little bit long .
Marketing: Yeah um User Interface: Well , I mean it can be opened like this of course and yeah .
Marketing: But you were thinking about making it smaller , yeah ?
Industrial Designer: Uh this this kind of uh makes it more Project Manager: Mm .
Marketing: Because User Interface: S uh slightly smaller .
Industrial Designer: and two , it might interfere with the I_R_ channel .
Marketing: So you have to keep that side flat .
User Interface: Yeah , but if we flip it open only as much as that .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
Marketing: So it works like a mobile phone flipping , but y you know , as long as that side's flat , than that will work .
Industrial Designer: Right . Okay .
Marketing: Okay . Um okay , so C_ . Are are we admitting defeat on C_ or are we saying we're gonna stick a locator on the T_V_ ?
Industrial Designer: No , we have a locator .
Project Manager: No , we're gonna put it like we've got th there's the locator dot .
Marketing: There's a locator . Cool , so that means you need a that does mean you need a little speaker on it though ,
User Interface: Mm that you stick on T_V_ .
Project Manager: Mm .
Marketing: doesn't it ? To make it beep .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Or a buzzer .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah well w but l but the speak sample speaker is included , so it it has some capacity to mm to do some to make some sounds , so yeah .
Marketing: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: So that's two , so that's seven , yeah . It's locatable ?
User Interface: Yep .
Marketing: Fabulous . D_ .
Industrial Designer: Intuitive , completely intuitive . Marketing: Project Manager: User Interface: Yeah . If uh uh if this means intuitive , if it means the way people kind of are used to finding things
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: and it's I th I think it's Project Manager: I'd say six , 'cause the I mean the the standard layout for numbers is three three three and one , rather than the way you've got it . I really like the way you have it ,
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: but it's not the immediate thing that you're used to .
Industrial Designer: Intuitive .
Marketing: Yeah , and I mean d
Industrial Designer: And uh even the scroll , it's a it's a new technology
Project Manager: So Industrial Designer: so m m might be a little more difficult for people to get used to in the beginni
Project Manager: Might be Industrial Designer: so it is kind of not very intuitive but uh it's a good technology , I mean once they get used to it .
Project Manager: But it and it's something that they will be experiencing in a lot of different places soon .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: So , should we maybe say f a five
Industrial Designer: So l
Marketing: and say it is intuitive ,
Project Manager: Five ?
Marketing: but it's different , so , do you know , I mean it's obvious how to use it ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: but you might have to think about it first . So we give that one a five , you think ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah , okay . I'm gonna give a seven in everything , so . Marketing: Yep .
Project Manager: I'm happy with five ?
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah . Marketing: I'm glad you're accepting this . It has taken a little while , hasn't it ? Um intuitive but Sorry , it's really hard to write on those .
Industrial Designer: Mm . Marketing: I just went a bit mad , didn't I ?
Project Manager: Marketing: Um okay , cool , E_ , okay . Um I would guess this comes back from this whole B_ thing links in here , so possibly for left-handed . Investigate .
Project Manager: Yep . But otherwise it's superb .
Marketing: So , should we give it a six ?
Project Manager: Six .
Marketing: Six ?
User Interface: Um uh the ergonom ergonomic design Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: well mm I mean I d uh I dunno , I mean the the repetitive stress things ,
Industrial Designer: .
User Interface: but then who would be really pushing the buttons so much on the on the remote control anyway ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah , unless you are a all the time sitting .
User Interface: yeah ? See .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah , so it's kinda Industrial Designer: Yeah , I I think it is ergonomic .
Marketing: I used to send fifty texts a day , you know ,
Project Manager: Well we've banned them from Marketing: and I never got repetitive strain injury from that ,
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Mm yeah .
Marketing: so I find it quite hard to believe to be honest .
Industrial Designer: And moreover it it has um L_C_D_ and everything ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: so that uh you know uh we minimise the pressing of the buttons anyway .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah , it's varied .
Marketing: Okay , so we give that a six ,
Project Manager: Yeah . Six ?
Marketing: yeah . Okay , F_ .
User Interface: Yeah ,  it does have yeah .
Industrial Designer: Absolutely .
Project Manager: Voice control have seven .
Marketing: Hang on , how come it's showing up with the things there but it only had bullet points there ? That's just Project Manager: Ah , that's the second one . So you must have changed it on this one where it's got score , but not on the previous slide .
Marketing: Oh okay , cool . Um right , so .
Industrial Designer: So it has voice control .
Marketing: Yes , so that's a seven then .
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Marketing: Um , cool .
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: G_ technologically innovative .
Industrial Designer: Anyway it ha yeah ,
User Interface: Technologi well Industrial Designer: it's the most sophisticated remote that I ever seen . Marketing: Project Manager: But in terms of the actual technology , none of it is actually new .
User Interface: Yeah . Well mm we have we have the sample speaker as well , which is yeah , it's kind of new .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah , but I mean you don't Project Manager: All of the components have been used in other things before .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , but they've been brought together in a remote .
User Interface: But at the same time they are all they are all relatively new .
Marketing: They're never been used i they've never been using remote remote control before I don't think .
Project Manager: But do yeah , yeah . Yeah .
Marketing: .
Project Manager: What do you reckon , five , six ?
Marketing: Yeah , what do you all think ?
User Interface: Six .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Six ?
User Interface: I mean how how far can you go with a remote control , really ?
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Well , that's it , I mean User Interface: It still has to do what i what it has to do .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Yeah , but I mean everything has been used in space before it gets to anyone else really , hasn't it ?
Project Manager: Marketing: So , I don't think many peop
Project Manager: Space remote .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: That's it , they can take it with them .
User Interface: Project Manager: Put fashion in electronics .
Industrial Designer: Absolutely . User Interface: Yeah , isn't it fashionable ?
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: The carrot banana remote . User Interface: Yeah , sure .
Project Manager: User Interface: It's the maximum fashion .
Marketing: So , we give it seven , and we write User Interface: Fruit fruit and vegetables are fashionable these days , so .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Marketing: There we go .
Industrial Designer: I think that's a .
User Interface: So I think we've done very well , but Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Cool .
Project Manager: Very good .
User Interface: What's the assessment ?
Marketing: So , we need the average here , so we got User Interface: The average is about six and something .
Project Manager: Yeah , one .
User Interface: A little bit over six .
Marketing: Seven Industrial Designer: There are how many sixes ?
Project Manager: Or a seven .
Industrial Designer: One , two , three .
Marketing: So we've got four sevens ,
User Interface: No , wait , a little bit under six .

Marketing: Two three four Seven eight .
Project Manager: about six point five .
User Interface: Six point five , yeah .
Project Manager: Close enough .
Marketing: Okay , that's pretty good , I think . Project Manager: Now wait until we get to finance and then we'll see if we can afford it .
Marketing: Project Manager: That's all you've got at the moment , or did you have anything more ?
Marketing: Um no , that's it ,
Project Manager: That's it ?
Marketing: yeah .
