UM WE HAVE TO DECIDE ON WHAT BUTTONS WE'RE GONNA USE OKAY UM SO IN THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE BEEN SUPPLIED HOW FEASIBLE WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE IDEA OF USING AN L. C. D. LOOKS UM I THINK WE CAN DO IT IF UH WE USE CONVENTIONAL BATTERIES AND NOT HAVE SOLAR CELLS OR KINETIC UM AND THEN MAYBE USE SINGLE CURVED UH CASE BECAUSE WE MIGHT NEED IT TO BE CURVED FOR THE UH THUMB TO USE THE JOYST JOYSTICK EASILY UM AND THEN YOU'LL NEED THE ADVANCED CHIP OBVIOUSLY FOR THE L. C. D. UM I MEAN THAT SOUNDS LIKE QUITE A GOOD REQUIREMENT TO ME UM CONVENTIONAL BATTERY WOULD SEEM TO MAKE SENSE UM I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ANY COST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SINGLE AND DOUBLE CURVED AND I'M I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE BUT PLASTIC OR RUBBER AS A TRADITIONAL FORM OF CASING WOULD SEEM TO BE A GOOD WAY FORWARD OKAY I ALSO HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR RUBBER OKAY WELL UM BASED ON MY RESEARCH YEAH WELL WILL WE MOVE ON TO USER INTERFACE AND YEAH UM SORRY AS LONG AS WERE YOU YEAH OKAY UM AND D D D INTERFACE CONCEPT NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO WORK BETWEEN THE UH THE SLIDES AND THE UH YEAH AND THE WHITE BOARD 'CAUSE I ACTUALLY I HAVE SOME FAIRLY CONCRETE THINGS THIS TIME UH UM I WAS GIVEN A AN H. T. M. L. FILE GIVING UM VARIOUS IDEAS FROM UH FROM OTHER PREVIOUS REMOTE CONTROL DESIGNS AND PRETTY MUCH DECIDED TO JUST DUMP THEM ALL I WASN'T VERY IMPRESSED BY THEM AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO RE UH NOTHING I SAW SEEMED TO MEET THE SORTS OF DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING FOR TODAY UM SO WHAT I RA RATHER THAN LOOKING AT OTHER REMOTES UH RA OOMP BE BETTER TO SIMPLY LOOK AT THE HUMAN HAND UM AND TRY AND F UM AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT A WAY OF LAYING OUT THE ELEMENTS WE'VE ALREADY DECIDED ON UM SO THAT IF R A IF SO THAT THE FINGER IS E EACH FINGER OR THUMB IS WHEREVER IT NEEDS TO BE ALREADY UM SO UH NEXT SLIDE IF YOU PLEASE UM AND WHAT WE'VE BASICALLY DECIDED ON WAS THE THE UM THE JOY UH THE JOYSTICK TWO FUNCTION BUTTONS AND THE L. C. D. JUST KEEP IT PAIRED DOWN TO THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM I DON'T ACTUALLY THINK WE NEED THE UM THE NUMERIC KEYPAD BECAUSE IF YOU M BECAUSE ONE OF THE MENUS THAT WE COULD HAVE AVAILABLE UM V VIA VIA THE L. C. D. IS ONE WHERE YOU SCROLL THROUGH CHANNELS SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING F AND BE BEAR IN MIND SINCE THIS ISN'T MEANT TO WORK FOR UM AH OKAY AND THEN UM YOUR V. C. UH AND THEN THE CHANNEL THROUGH YOUR V. C. R. AND OR D. V. D. PLAYER AND OR UM BOX SO IT'S NOT I'M NOT REALLY EXCESSIVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT YOU MUST HAVE TWO TWO MODES BASIC MODE WHERE UM THE JOYSTICK'S UH LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT FOR CHANNELS UP DOWN FOR VOLUME UM AND THE UH UH AND THE MENU MODE FOR UH FURTHER FUNCTIONS UM NOW THE REASON I WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN USING RUBBER FOR THIS IS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HIGHLY ERGONOMIC DESIGN UM IT NEEDS TO BE ERGONOMIC FOR LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED PEOPLE UM SO YOU MM-HMM YES ABSOLUTELY UM BASI BASICALLY WHAT I BASICALLY WHAT THE WHAT BE HAVING UM I WOULD SAY THE THE WHOLE THING ARTICULATED AT TWO POINTS SO THAT IF YOU IF YOU'RE HANDING IT FROM A LEF UH LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED USER YOU CAN ADJUST IT SO THAT THE UM THE L. C. THE L. C. D. AND THE UH THE JOYSTICK WOULD BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND ALSO THIS IS A RATHER NICER DE UH DESIGN GIMMICK THAT THE THE UM YOU KNOW THE WHOLE THING YOU KNOW IT SHOULD HAVE SORT OF ORGANIC FEEL TO IT THAT IT SHOULD BE YOU KNOW SOFT TO TOUCH AND CAN BE MOVED AROUND ALL NICE UM OKAY ON TO ON TO THE NEXT UH TO THE NEXT SLIDE JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE'LL PROBABLY BE QUITE TIGHT FOR TIME AS WELL BECAUSE I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY GOT A LOT YOU'D LIKE TO SAY I GUESS I CAN ADD PRETTY PICTURES TO THIS THE UM ASSUMING THE HAND THE HAND TO BE IN ABOUT SORT OF THIS POSITION UM HOL UH HOLDING THE REMOTE THE UM THE JOYSTICK UNIT SHOULD REST OVER THE UH THE JOINT OF THE F OF THE UH FOUR FINGER SO THAT IT'S DIRECTLY ACCESSIBLE FOR THE THUMB UM AND IT WOULD NEED T THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A IT WOULD NEED TO BE ARTICULATED JUST BELOW THAT SO THAT IT COULD BE SWITCHED AROUND FOR UH LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED USERS SO YOU THEN HAVE A GRIP SECTION THAT CAN BE MORE OR LESS THE SAME IRRESPECTIVE OF HANDEDNESS YOU JUST HAVE BIG TWO BIG BUTTONS THAT COVER MOST OF THE AREA SO IT CAN IN THE UPPER PART ONE FOR THE FOUR FINGER ONE FOR THE MIDDLE FINGER UM AND THAT TH THIS PART HERE IS THE JOYSTICK THIS WOULD BE THE ACTUAL GRIP PROBABLY WHERE YOU'D WANT TO HAVE THE BATTERY AS WELL THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY THE BULKIEST PART AND YOU THEN HAVE AT THE UH AT THE BOTTOM THE L. C. D. AND THIS WOULD NEED TO BE ARTICULATED AS WELL AND BASICALLY I'D WANT THIS TO REST HERE RIGHT AT THE BASE OF THE WRIST SO IT WOULD FIT JUST NICELY IN THE HAND AND AGAIN THIS PART COULD BE ROTATED SO IT CAN SO SO SO THAT IT CAN BE ADJUSTED TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED USER UM SO THE T UH THE TOP FUNCTION BUTTON IN BASIC MODE WOULD BE THE ON OFF SWITCH AND MENU MODE WOULD BE THE ENTER BUTTON AND THEN THE BOTTOM FUNCTION BUTTONS SWITCHES BETWEEN BETWEEN MODES UM NOW PROGRAMMING IT ACTUALLY THI THIS IS ONE THING I'VE FOUND WITH UM THE REPLACEMENT REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING THEM CAN BE A RIGHT PAIN SO I THOUGHT TH THE SIMPLEST WAY AROUND THAT WOULD BE TO HAVE UM A CABLE TO CONNECT IT TO THE COMPUTER SOME SOME FAIR IV FAIRLY FAIRLY SIMPLE SOFTWARE ON THE COMPUTER JUST SO THAT YOU ON YOUR COMPUTER JUST SO THAT YOU COULD UM PR PROGRAM IT AT A RATHER IN A RATHER MORE COMFORTABLE INTERFACE AND YOU COULD DOWNLOAD PROGRAMS FOR IT FROM UH FOR UH T. V. S FROM ALL SORT OF MAIN MANUFACTURERS UM THOUGH YOU I IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO HAVE UH HAVE A M UH HAVE A HA HAVE A MODE FOR PROGRAMMING IT WITHOUT THE COMPUTER UH JUST IN CASE THERE ARE THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE LEFT OUT THERE WHO DON'T HAVE THEM YET UM BUT UH YEAH OKAY EXCELLENT RIGHT UM UH FILE OPEN TREND WATCHING OKAY SO UH TO GATHER MY RESEARCH TWO BASIC METHODS
