KIND OF OVER THERE ABOVE DRAW THERE THAT ONE THERE YOU GO SO WE'RE JUST GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS THAT PEOPLE SPECIFIED WHEN THEY WERE ASKED UM I GUESS REAL REACTION DID SOME MARKET RESEARCH THEY HAD A HUNDRED SUBJECTS AND THEIR USABILITY LAB AND THEY WATCHED THEM WATCH T. V. AND RECORDED THE FREQUENCY THAT THEY USED PARTICULAR BUTTONS AND THE RELEVANCE THAT THOSE BUTTONS HAD WHAT THEY FOUND WAS THEY ANALYSED PEOPLE'S DESIRES AND NEEDS FOCUSING ON THEIR DESIRES UM PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT THEY THOUGHT REMOTES WERE UGLY SEVENTY FIVE PER CENT OF THE A HUNDRED SUBJECTS NOTED THAT AND THAT THEY MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH EIGHTY PER CENT SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR A FANCIER LOOKING REMOTE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING BEYOND WHAT FANCY MEANS BUT THAT'S PARTICULARLY OF USE TO US I THINK UM ALSO THEY DID SOME QUESTIONS ON VOICE RECOGNITION AND FOUND THAT THE DESIRE FOR VOICE RECOGNITION WAS INVERSELY RELATED TO AGE SO YOUNGER PEOPLE WERE MORE INCLINED TO WANT SOMETHING WITH VOICE RECOGNITION WHEREAS THE OLDER PEOPLE IN THE LIKE SIXTY AND ABOVE SEGMENT OR SO DID NOT REALLY THINK THAT THEY WOULD PAY MORE MONEY FOR VOICE RECOGNITIONS UM PEOPLE ALSO HAD CERTAIN FRUSTRATIONS THAT I THINK THAT WE COULD TRY TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WITH OUR DESIGN THAT BEING PEOPLE K UM FRUSTRATED WITH LOSING THEIR REMOTES I THINK OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE MENTIONED THAT THAT WAS THEIR BIGGEST FRUSTRATION PEOPLE ARE ALSO FRUSTRATED WITH THE DIFFICULTY IT IS TO LEARN HOW TO USE A REMOTE AND I THINK THAT TIES BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING BEFORE JUST THAT THERE'S TOO MANY BUTTONS IT JUST NEEDS TO BE EASY TO USE IT ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING CALLED R. S. I. AND I WAS HOPING SOMEONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO INFORM ME AS TO WHAT R. S. I. IS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY THERE WE GO WOW PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THAT SO I GUESS SORT OF THE CARPAL TUNNEL TYPE THING PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THAT UM THE REPETITIVE USE I GUESS CAUSED A STRAIN UM LOOKING AT THE NEEDS PEOPLE SPECIFIED THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW IS THAT PEOPLE'S REMOTES ARE NOT MATCHING THEIR OPERATING BEHAVIOUR PEOPLE ARE ONLY USING TEN PER CENT OF THE BUTTONS THAT THEY HAVE OFFERED TO THEM ON THEIR REMOTE AND WHAT PEOPLE DO MOST OFTEN IS CHANGING THE CHANNEL AND CHANGING THE VOLUME PEOPLE ALSO ZAP LIKE TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL ABOUT UM SIXTY FIVE PER CENT DURING AN HOUR OF USE SO WE REALLY JUST NEED TO FOCUS IN ON THOSE VOLUMES AND CHANNEL CHANGERS RATHER THAN THINGS LIKE THE AUDIO SETTINGS THE SCREEN SETTINGS AND THE CHANNEL SETTINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE USED MUCH MORE INFREQUENTLY AND PROBABLY JUST COMPLICATE WHAT'S GOING ON SO I THINK THAT SOME THINGS THAT WE MIGHT WANNA THINK ABOUT THE IDEA OF AN L. C. D. SCREEN WAS BROUGHT UP ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY DETAILS ON WHAT PEOPLE'S PREFERENCES ON THAT WERE SO I DUNNO KNOW IF THAT'S COMING TO ME LATER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT SOMETHING FOR US TO CONSIDER ALSO JUST THE PHENOMENON THAT LESS IS MORE WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE OR WHAT WE WANNA MAKE EASIEST TO USE MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE AN AUDIO SETTING ISN'T GIVEN AS MUCH IMPORTANCE AND VISIBILITY ON THE REMOTE AS SOMETHING LIKE CHANNEL CHANGING THAT'S USED A LOT MORE OFTEN AND BASICALLY IN ORDER FOR US TO WIN OVER TO THE CONSUMER WE JUST NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IT HAS A FANCY APPEAL AND THAT IT'S NOT UGLY AND THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE WAY THEY'RE GONNA USE IT SO IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM ANY HAND INJURIES OR THINGS LIKE THAT HMM THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT WAS THAT WAS GREAT UM 'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PRESENTATION UM ON EFFECTS WAS THAT YOU GREAT YEAH HAVE I UNSCREWED IT PUSH USER INTERFACE RIGHT INTERFACE HERE WE GO CHEERS MM-HMM AND I THINK THAT'S IN THE SHARED IF I DID IT RIGHT IF ANYONE WANTS TO LOOK AT IT OKAY HERE WE GO RIGHT SO I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THE TECHNICAL TECHNICAL FUNCTIONS DESIGN OF THE REMOTE CONTROL UM WE NEED TO START BY CONSIDERING WHAT A REMOTE CONTROL ACTUALLY IS IT'S A DEVICE THAT ALLOWS US TO PRODUCE CERTAIN EFFECTS ON OUR TELEVISION SO I IT'S BASICALLY A COMMUNICATION DEVICE WE WE TELL THE REMOTE CONTROL WHAT WE WANT TO DO IT SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE TELEVISION SAYING CHANGE THE CHANNEL CHANGE THE VOLUME UH YEAH ADJUST THESE SETTINGS ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS UM HOW DO WE ACTUALLY GO ABOUT DESIGNING A NEW TELEVISION REMOTE CONTROL FIRST THING TO DO IS TO COME UP WITH THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
