C: A: Good work everyone .
D: Bravo B: A: Alright .
A: And so now that we've we have a prototype , uh we need to go over the finances
A: and seeing if this prototype matches uh what our budget can handle .
B: Mm-hmm .
A: So , I have
A: something I'm going to D: You want the A: Oh wait a minute .
A: Do you need to do a presentation first ?
D: I don't know what order it goes in .
A: Yeah .
A: I'm gonna check that out for a second .
D: I have one .
B: Mm go B: A: What time is it anyw
A: Oh yeah
A: sorry
A: you're right .
D: Evaluation cri Okay .
A: Evaluation criteria is next in line .
D: That's me .
A: Yeah .
D: Hello .
D: Oh there we go .
D: Okay .
D: Come on my computer . Come on .
D: Sorry
D: my computer's giving me technical difficulties .
A: Just press um function eight again .
D: Should I press it again ?
D: Last time I did that it sh
D: Okay . You're right .
A: And then again I think .
A: One more time .
D: Oh .
D: Still not there .
A: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
D: Okay now I think for this one I could D: Would you guys prefer use the whiteboard
D: or mayb maybe I'll just do it on right on the screen where you can see it .
D: Um , we're gonna be doing an evaluation report together based on the protoptype that we've just seen .
D: Um and looking looking back at my notes from our both our conceptual and our functional meetings , um I made a list of what our original requirements and goals were ,
D: um , back to our kick-off meeting this morning .
D: Um , and we'll evaluate as to whether we've s done what we set out to do .
D: Um and we're gonna do it on a one to seven scale where one is true and seven is false .
D: So basically the lower p the lower the points the better .
D: Okay so question number one .
D: Does the remote
D: whoops .
D: Sorry .
D: Oh I'm not gonna be able D: um , I'll do it on the whiteboard .
D: I can't change it
D: so I'm g I'm gonna ask you to push it down once .
A: Okay .
D: I'll write down our scores up on the A: Ooh .
D: Okay so number one .
D: Do we have a fancy look-and-feel ?
C: Mm .
B: Feel I think .
B: We've been quite successful with the rubber coating
A: Yeah .
B: and A: The look is a little bit more playful .
C: Well C: Yeah .
B: Yeah .
D: Yeah I guess that depends on your definition of fancy ,
D: but it's definitely different .
D: It's not your traditional A: Oh definitely different yeah .
D: yeah .
B: I think the colour has a lot to do with it .
B: I mean th the colours we were given for making the prototype aren't the colours that I think we would've necessarily chosen .
D: Mm-hmm .
C: Yeah .
B: It's not the kind of ooh uh at all sleek
A: Oh you were only given red and black ?
B: red , black and yellow , and orange .
A: Oh okay .
C: Yeah so C: not very sleek
B: Um C: and we don't wanna go for black because most remote controls are black or grey .
D: Yeah .
C: So we want it to be stand out that way , anyway .
A: Yeah .
B: But if you can imagine that in like a s just a maybe uh a kind of pale metallic-y finish or something A: Okay .
C: Yeah .
C: A metallic-y finish we were thinking .
D: Mm-hmm .
B: Well I know know it's for rubber .
A: Yeah .
C: Polished .
B: I mean diff if you can visualise this in nice colours I think it would look quite fancy . C: Okay C: Yeah .
D: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
D: I kinda I like the potato look .
B: Oh well , potato , mango , fruit and veg .
C: We we were we were thinking about  A: It's mango . D: It's very different .
D: It's what ?
A: It's mango . D: Oh sorry
D: the mango the mango look .
B: Potato's fine . Potato's fine .
D: Yeah it is , fruit or vegetable depends on your mood .
C: yeah .
A: B: Yeah . Totally .
B: It's really adaptable .
D: So I myself would say a one or a two .
A: Yeah .
A: I would say two . Personally .
C: I w I'd say two I think .
D: It's a two ?
D: Okay ,
B: For the
D: and p
C: Fanciness .
B: fancy A: Yeah .
D: One being true .
D: So B: I uh two ,
D: Two .
B: three . D: Okay ,
C: Yeah .
D: actu that's pro that's gonna get confusing , like that .
D: Okay so question number two was is it techn technologically innovative ?
D: So I know we have the kinetic energy which is very innovative .
A: Yeah .
B: Yeah
B: and the use of the rubber .
D: D: Use of the rubber , the use of the L_E_D_ .
C: Yeah .
B: For the anti-R_S_I_ .
A: Yeah .
B: The L_E_D_ use isn't particularly innovative
D: Isn't C: Mm .
B: and we don't have any scroll buttons , it's all pushbuttons ,
B: there's no L_C_D_ control ,
B: so if we're thinking about the rest of the market , it's sort of probably halfway .
D: Mm-hmm .
A: Yeah .
B: In some aspects it is , like we said .
A: Yeah .
A: I'd say maybe three .
C: I'll go for three as well .
D: Yeah .
D: And I think I mean it it's tough to say
D: because we were D: we didn't want it to be any more innovative than this , because then that would've defeated the purpose .
B: Yeah . Though it was our specification .
C: No . Wouldn't be simple , yeah .
A: Yeah we want it simple .
D: So I mean I D: we'll put three ,
D: but I think we actually reached our goal .
C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
D: We didn't want it any more than that .
D: Okay question number three .
D: Uh , will it be easy to use ?
A: I think so . Yeah .
B: Yeah . Yeah .
C: Yeah very .
D: Yeah .
D: Yeah . S
C: I think one for that .
D: Yeah
D: I think it's A: Yeah . One .
B: Yeah .
D: you can't really get confused with that .
C: Yeah .
C: No .
D: I mean , there'll be s we have to work out the uh number the plus system .
A: Th
A: The plus number thing .
C: Yeah that's the only thing yeah .
D: But once that's figured out , it should be fine .
B: Yeah and perhaps the turning on
B: but C: D: Number four .
D: Is this a good-looking remote ?
B: Mm .
D: Remember that seventy five percent of users find most remote controls ugly .
C: It's definitely B: Again I think the colour comes into this .
A: Yeah colour will definitely be a factor .
D: Mm-hmm .
A: I think that the logo could be smaller .
B: Okay .
C: Yeah .
A: And maybe not such a prominent way .
C: But the A: Maybe like at the bottom , kind of .
C: Remember the management said that it it had to be prominent .
B: Not in D: Whoops .
A: Oh it just had to be on there I guess .
D: Should just not touch it .
C: Yeah . A: B: Don't worry . D: This time it's the three I killed .
D: I was just wondering if it should be like flatter .
D: Or B: I suppose I've got quite big hands .
A: I like the appeal of it being like a big glob in your hand .
D: Well C: Yeah .
B: C: But you know what I've just thought of there now .
C: What C: where's it gonna sit in your living room ?
C: Is it not gonna fall off the arm of the sofa ?
A: Maybe if the bottom was just sort of flat ,
D: Yeah
D: the bottom could be like ch chopped a bit .
A: and then the rest is like
C: Yeah .
C: But then it wouldn't sit as comfortably in your hand .
A: round .
D: Oh . That's true .
A: It would still be comfortable I think .
C: Yeah .
B: Thing is like that , it's not going anywhere particularly .
A: We c we could handle it I think .
D: Maybe , it could it could be on the bottom ,
D: so you wouldn't loo
D: like if it's flat here , so it sits up .
B: Yeah .
D: Like that .
C: Oh that would be nice . A: Ah it'd fall over all the time though .
A: It'd be annoying .
B: Uh yeah ,
B: it's less um , what's th ha .
C: Yeah .
D: I g
D: If it's weighted maybe .
C: A: B: H it's got higher centre of gravity like that .
A: 'Kay we're done designing .
D: Details , details . D: Okay . So , is this a good-looking remote ? A: Come on .
D: Would we wanna show it off to our friends ? C: Three .
C: You would though , 'cause it's bit it's more interesting than other remotes .
D: Yeah .
A: I think , it was another colour and it was like I think it'd look okay .
A: I think maybe a two .
D: Yeah ?
D: I mean I gue yeah , it's personal taste ,
B: I would definitely go for that rather than like your average plain old remote like that ,
D: but D: Yeah .
C: Yeah .
B: but definitely in another colour ,
B: I'm not happy with those colours .
D: Okay , so should we say two for that ?
A: Sure .
B: Yeah .
D: Yeah ?
C: Yeah .
D: Okay .
D: Uh , question number five .
D: What's um D: will people be willing to spend twenty five Euros on this product ?
D: Remember that eighty percent of users were willing to spend more money when a remote control looked fancy .
C: I think we have to market it in the right way , that um to say that it is simplistic .
D: Mm-hmm .
B: Yeah .
C: So people don't just see it and think , uh , this is so simplistic , I don't want to spend twenty five Euros .
A: Yeah .
C: We have to market it .
D: Yeah it the marketing will have a lot to do with it .
B: Yeah .
B: And the kinetic energy , shaker-style-y , whoo ,
C: And the kinetic energy part .
C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
B: ooh no . D: Shake it and the buttons fall off . A: Durable . B: But you know , those'll be firmly on .
C: Don't shake  C: Oh no the plus .
C: You're
D: No , I guess , I don't know much about the remote control industry , how much your average sells for ,
C: use the zero .
B: C: Make a new one .
A: But you're our Marketing Expert . D: but D: I know I am , aren't I ?
C: I think they're about ten po ten pound ,
C: aren't they ?
C: About ten pounds .
D: But you don't have to buy batteries .
C: Fifteen ?
D: So in the long term this can actually save you money .
C: Yeah .
B: Mm , yeah , that's true .
A: Oh . Exactly . Exactly .
D: So we'll market it that way too .
B: Yeah . Good point .
D: So yeah I think with a good marketing scheme um and the personalisation options , it'll C: A: Yeah .
A: I would give it a two still though .
B: Yeah . Yeah .
D: Yeah .
C: Mm .
D: Okay number six .
D: Can someone read it out ?
B: Does this prototype match the operating behaviour of the average user .
D: Or A: Mm .
C: Yeah .
D: Um yeah .
D: So that was mainly that the statistics B: Yeah .
C: I think it does very well .
A: Oh yeah .
B: Because D: we said B: yeah ,
B: because the most accessible buttons are the volume and the and the channel-changing .
C: The zap D: Mm-hmm .
B: And it's just you won't have to think about it .
A: Yeah .
C: yeah .
B: You don't have to look down to find them .
D: B: They're clearly there ,
B: easy to use .
A: Yeah .
D: Yeah
B: Simple .
D: I guess the I think the key word there is average ,
C: Uh D: 'cause there were some people that used the uh video input and sound and stuff .
B: Yeah .
D: But they're not you and I really .
B: Mm .
D: So .
A: Yeah .
D: Okay so one ?
C: Yeah .
B: Yeah .
D: Okay .
D: Number seven .
D: C Heather could you push it down ?
D: Will this remote control be easy to find when lost ?
D: Remember that fifty percent of users lose their remote regularly .
D: Now is there the A: We have the alarm system .
D: is the alarm system still was it implemented ?
C: Yeah
C: the bu
C: when you press the alarm system , the lights behind the and it'll vibra B: It D: B: Yeah
B: l lights on and , or flash as well .
B: But I mean it's not obviously obvious from the outside that that's gonna happen 'cause you can't s particularly see an alarm .
C: It'll be again in the marketing .
A: I thought the light from the inside was gonna light up .
C: Yeah .
C: The light it will .
A: Or or was it gonna make a noise ?
C: But B: Yeah .
B: But when the alarm's not D: B: yeah
C: But both  B: . If you  A: You press the button it makes a noise
D: It turns into a duck and starts quacking .
A: right ?
B: Yeah .
C: Yeah .
B: You could s C: Oh , that would be brilliant .
A: Yeah . Awesome . Awesome .
B: Yeah . D: Here I am .
C: I'd be tempted to B: Well the thing is , if it was had an alarm system ,
D: Um B: I mean , when it when it lights up as we I mean it could light up when the alarm went .
C: Yeah .
B: But if it was hidden underneath the cushion or something , there wouldn't be any point .
B: So you can't see the alarm , but it would light up .
C: It would have to be in the market
A: I though w it was gonna make a noise .
D: Okay .
B: Yeah . Alarm ,
C: Yeah
C: but you still couldn't see it .
B: but you can't see an alarm inside uh the alarm system itself .
C: It would just be a little speaker on the back or something .
A: Okay .
D: We D: oh you're just explaining why it's not on the prototype .
B: Yeah . Yeah . It w yeah .
D: But yeah , it'll be there .
D: So we can we could say that A: Oh okay .
A: Whoo . Okay .
C: B: Sorry .
D: We can give it a one ,
D: because compared to every other remote ever m ever made , this one will be easier to find .
A: Yeah , totally .
B: Yeah .
D: Okay . Um C: B: Sorry Heather .
B: That wasn't very clear .
A: No problem , mm .
D: Question number eight .
D: Will it be easy to learn how to use this remote when brand new ?
D: Remember that thirty four percent of users usually found it difficult .
D: So it has to be A: Totally .
D: yeah ,
D: it's eas they'll pick it up and they'll know what to do .
C: So the plu the plus D: The plus thing needs to be worked on .
C: w once that's written down on the page that'll be really simple ,
A: Yeah .
B: Yeah
C: won't it ?
D: Yeah .
B: I think B: just because it's we've decided to reduce it down to the basic buttons , I think that in itself makes it so much easier to use .
D: Well C: Yeah .
D: Do D: Does it make more sense for the middle one to be an just an enter button ?
D: So then you would have to push two buttons every time at least .
A: Yeah ,
A: so it's just like channel six , six , enter .
C: That kind of annoys me though , when it's zero six when you have to press D: B: Mm .
C: I don't know why . A: Yeah but you don't have to press zeros .
D: You could just press six enter ,
C: Oh okay . Right .
B: And or sixty six enter , y
D: or one two enter .
A: And then like twelve , enter .
C: Alright , aye .
D: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
B: Yeah I think that's probably more straightforward .
B: Yeah . Good  C: Yeah .
A: D: Um , okay so we can  C: I'd say w yeah one .
D: we'll say yes it's uh one ?
C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
D: Okay .
B: Ooh . Mm .
D: Question number nine .
B: Oh .
D: Uh , will it minimise the effects of R_S_I_ ,
D: which was repeated strain injury ?
C: Yeah .
B: Injury .
D: Um , which affected over a quarter of users .
C: Hmm .
D: S
A: I think so .
A: It's like right in the C: But if you're zapping A: Your thumb might get a little bit uh B: Yeah , that's what I was thinking .
C: yeah .
C: I don't think it will f
B: We may have to do some more research into other strain injuries that we don't know about .
C: Yeah ,
A: Yeah .
C: the biology .
A: But it is soft .
B: Mm-hmm .
D: It's soft ,
A: And that's kind of what the um
D: and C: Mm .
B: Mm .
D: And people could A: the PowerPoint slide thing said would be good for R_S_I_ ,
B: Yeah .
C: Yeah .
D: Mm-hmm .
A: so maybe it is but D: I don't know what other options there are .
B: I think we're getting A: Yeah .
B: that's true .
D: Could D: I mean , you could hold it in your left hand and d use your index finger .
D: But there's not really any other options unless it's like a keyboard .
B: Mm .
D: So , I think we did as as much as you can with a remote control .
C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
D: So , one or two do you think ?
C: I I'd say t
B: I think B: yeah , I think too .
C: two . Yeah
D: Two okay .
A: Yeah .
D: Okay number ten .
D: Did we somehow incorporate the company colour and logo ?
A: Yes we did .
C: Yeah . D: Now is the colour gonna be there even if it's like vanilla ?
B: C: N We we can't really do that
D: Is the yellow C: because for example on the banana theme we can't have it as being yellow .
B: D: Mm-hmm .
C: It won't stand out .
C: So n it's not always gonna be the same colour .
D: It sounds like the colour's something that we A: Well , yeah the colours are yellow and grey .
B: Yeah .
C: Gray , yeah .
A: So it could be grey on the banana one .
C: Yeah , could be grey .
A: Yeah .
