Project Manager: Shall we move rapidly on to uh Kendra ?
Industrial Designer: Okay .
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: Uh um ra rapidly move the cable over .
User Interface: Let's see .
Project Manager: Mm . Oh good .
User Interface: Oh . Yes . Is it gonna work ?
Project Manager: Mm yeah ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah , it's thinking about it .
Project Manager: it'll get there . Yep .
User Interface: Okay . Okay ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: so I did some research on the internet and um what  you know , the interf user interface are just aspects that are seen by users , um commands and mechanisms for the operation , and there're just kind of a variety of choices . Um findings , so a lot of times they tend to look cluttered
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: and these were just a couple examples of um different kinds that are a little bit more unusual .
Project Manager: Mm , yeah .
User Interface: There're some special ones available , like this one right here ,
Project Manager: Uh-huh .
User Interface: which is marketed towards children , um different designs ,
Project Manager: Alright .
User Interface: and one of the things that n we need to watch out for is a V_ in volume because people some Bring a little picture of what I thought ours could look like .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: So just kind of minimise the clutter ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: avoid too many buttons and also um one of the things that people have used is a slide button , like you have on a mouse , that possibly we could use that on the sides for volume , for example , have the slide button on the side ,
Marketing: Mm .
User Interface: and then you can pre-programme the channels , the voice recognition and then the voice response sample locator .
Project Manager: Mm yeah . Sorry y y yeah , if I can interrupt you . Well d p 'kay , do you wanna say anything about um slide controls ?
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: I mean I think the reason everybody uses pushbuttons is that they're they're si simple , cheap and reliable .
Industrial Designer: Uh  Uh I think they're they're about the same cost really . I I mean , I think it's just sort of the the  there's a lot of slide buttons out there . I think it's pretty much the same sort of connection . Mm yeah . Project Manager: Okay , fair enough , fine .
User Interface: Just because I n for example if I'm using a mouse I like to be able to slide it up and down
Industrial Designer: Mm .
User Interface: so I thought it might be good for volume to just be able to kind of roll it and then have the up and down
Project Manager: Yeah . Good , good .
User Interface: and then the Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: this is my great little drawing .
Project Manager: So three three there's three buttons on a slider .
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: Three buttons , channel up channel up down and User Interface: Y yes , yes .
Marketing: Well , if you g if you if you got a channel up down , we can have a slider in that as well . Because if it if you no
User Interface: Marketing: if you notice on the thing it it kind of like has got kind of if you you know it s kind of like sticks , if you know what I mean , up like one unit , if you see what I mean .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: So it kinda goes up one , then y like you can keep rolling it up , but it's like like like like a cog or something .
Project Manager: Uh-huh .
Marketing: So you kinda take it up one at a time .
Project Manager: Okay . Um User Interface: The only advantage I was thinking of to having the buttons , like the buttons on one side for the channel , and then the slider is that if you're just holding in your hand , and you pick it up , it's easy to n s know , okay , this is just the volume and this is the channel .
Marketing: D
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: Oh .
Project Manager: This one on the one side and one Marketing: Uh you could you could as l as like a mouse you could Project Manager: yeah . Okay .
Industrial Designer: Ye yeah , 'cause I've definitely picked up remotes and like meant to change the channel and turn the volume , or vice versa ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: so it'd be kinda good to have them be feel completely different . You'd know what you were fiddling with .
Project Manager: Yeah ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: or yeah uh th th the I mean thi this is what the User Interface: That was Marketing: Yeah , like the shape of it almost like a mouse , with a Project Manager: we have to come up with is the the actual shape that people can ins instantly pick it up and and know know uh know what it's going to do .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay , so we we're looking at sliders for both a uh volume and channel change
User Interface: Um well
Project Manager: of one sort .
User Interface: I was thinking kind of just for the volume ,
Project Manager: Just for the volume , uh .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
User Interface: but what what do you guys think ?
Marketing: Dep I dunno if it User Interface: We could Marketing: depending on the final shape of it , 'cause you could have like , I dunno , it looks like you can c control the volume with your thumb ,
User Interface: Yeah , yeah .
Marketing: and then you could control the buttons with your fingers .
Project Manager: Fingers ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah ,
Project Manager: yeah .
Industrial Designer: 'cause if yeah , in that kinda position the fingers would be better for pressing and the that for rolling ,
Project Manager: It yeah , I mean it it it seems to me that uh it uh it al also has the advantage that it it the two are clearly different ,
User Interface: B
Industrial Designer: just the way it would User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Mm yeah , yeah , yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: um that there's no no possibility of uh confusing the two .
Marketing: Oh yeah , yeah .
Project Manager: So okay . Right so uh
User Interface: I'm just gonna pass this along .
Project Manager: that's sorry is that that all you want to say at the mo
User Interface: Yes .
Project Manager: okay , fine .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Yeah . Marketing: Project Manager: Mm right .
Marketing: Industrial Designer:
