IT'LL COME UP IT UM UH NO SIGNAL WHY MAYBE AGAIN YEAH YEAH IT SAYS SOMETHING NOW ADJUSTING OKAY ADJUSTING BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON MY COMPUTER NOW THIS IS THE PROBLEM BUT ONE WHERE IT'S ONLY HERE ONE WHERE IT'S ONLY THERE AND ONE WHERE IT'S BOTH AND ONE MORE TIME UH NOW IT'S OKAY NO NO SHOULD YEAH JUST WAIT FOR A MOMENT ADJUSTING OKAY OKAY LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING SO I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT TECHNICAL FUNCTIONS DESIGN UH JUST LIKE SOME SOME FIRST ISSUES THAT CAME UP UM 'KAY SO THE METHOD I WAS UM ADOPTING AT THIS POINT IT'S NOT UM FOR THE FOR THE WHOLE UM PERIOD OF THE UM ALL THE PROJECT BUT IT'S JUST AT TH AT THIS VERY MOMENT UM UH MY METHOD WAS UM TO LOOK AT UM OTHER UM REMOTE CONTROLS UH SO MOSTLY JUST BY SEARCHING ON THE WEB AND TO SEE WHAT UM FUNCTIONALITY THEY USED AND THEN UM AFTER HAVING GOT THIS INSPIRATION AND HAVING COMPARED WHAT I FOUND ON THE WEB UM JUST TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE DE WHAT THE USER REALLY NEEDS AND WHAT UM WHAT THE USER MIGHT DESIRE AS ADDITIONAL UH FUNCTIONALITIES AND YEAH AND THEN JUST TO UM PUT THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THE REMOTE CONTROL IN IN WORDS UM SO THE FINDINGS UH WERE UM THAT THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THE REMOTE CONTROL IS IS JUST SENDING MESSAGES TO THE TELEVISION SET SO THIS QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD AND UH W SOME OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS WOULD BE SWITCHING ON SWITCHING OFF UH THEN THE USER WOULD LIKE TO SWITCH THE CHANNEL UM FOR EXAMPLE JUST M CHANGING TO THE NEXT CHANNEL TO TO FLIP THROUGH ALL ALL OF THE POSSIBLE CHANNELS OR THEN MM UH THE OTHER POSSIBILITY WOULD BE THAT UM SHE MIGHT JUST WANT TO CHOOSE ONE PARTICULAR CHANNEL SO WE WOULD NEED THE NUMBERS AND AND ALSO THE VOLUME IS VERY IMPORTANT UM UM I ALS OKAY UH SWITCHING ON OFF CHANNEL UH VOLUME OKAY THAT'S GREAT 'KAY UM UM AMONG THE FINDINGS I FOUND THAT M M MOST OF THE CURR MM PRESENTLY AVAILABLE REMOTE CONTROLS ALSO INCLUDE OTHER MM FUNCTIONALITIES UM IN THEIR DESIGN LIKE OPERATING A V. C. R. BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH D. V. D. PLAYERS BUT THEN THERE ARE SURELY THERE ARE MANY OTHER FUNCTIONALI FUNCTIONS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE ADDED TO THEM BUT ACCORDING TO THE LAST MINUTE UPDATE UM ACTUALLY UM WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ALL THIS COMPLICATED FUNCTIONS ADDED TO OUR DESIGN SO MY PERSONAL PREFERENCES WOULD BE UH TO KEEP THE MM THE WHOLE REMOTE CONTROL SMALL UM JUST LIKE THE PHYSICAL SIZE AND THEN IT MUST BE EASY TO USE SO IT MUST FOLLOW SOME CONVENTIONS UM LIKE WHEREABOUTS YOU FIND THE ON OFF BUTTON AND MAYBE THE COLOUR TENDS TO BE RED OR SOMETHING UM THEN YEAH THE MUST HAVE BUTTONS WOULD BE ON OFF AND THEN THE CHANNEL NUMBERS AND THEN UM THE ONE THAT ALLOWS US TO GO TO THE NEXT OR THE PREVIOUS CHANNEL AND THEN VOLUME HAS TO BE THERE BUT THEN UM OTHER FUNCTIONALITIES UM COULD BE JUST UH THERE COULD BE A MENU BUTTON AND YOU COULD CHANGE THINGS ON THE SCREEN THEN UM FOR EXAMPLE BRIGHTNESS AND MM SIMILAR FUNCTIONS COULD BE JUST UM DONE THROUGH THE MENU AND YEAH THE LAST QUESTION I HAD ABOUT WHETHER WE WANTED TO INCORPORATE N UH MORE FUNCTIONALITIES THE ANSWER WAS ALREADY NO BECAUSE OF THE LAST MINUTE UPDATE SO AT THE FOR THE TIME BEING THAT'S UH THAT'S ALL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS IF I MEAN THAT WAS THE THE DIRECTIVE THAT CAME THROUGH FROM MANAGEMENT BUT IF WE HAD A A DECENT CASE FOR THAT WE REALLY THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE VIDEO AND D. V. D. I COULD GET BACK TO THEM AND SEE IT'S W IT'S JUST WHETHER IT'S WORTH ARGUING ABOUT YEAH AND ALSO IT'S IT'S UM OTHER QUESTION IS UH BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT AND THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE INCLUDED BECAUSE BESIDES VIDEO AND D. V. D. THERE ARE THE MM UM VIDEO C. D. S AND WHATEVER SO IT MIGHT BE PROBLEMATIC TO TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ALL THESE POSSIBLE THINGS OKAY ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION OF MAARIKA BEFORE WE GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE SO IN THE U USER INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS UH UH UH WE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THE BASIC BUTTONS THAT WE DO WANT UM BUT UM SO SO AT THIS STAGE UH HOW WE GO ABOUT IMPLEMENTING THOSE BUTTON WE WILL NOT IDENTIFY OR I MEAN IN WE CAN COMPLETELY DO AWAY WITH BUTTONS AND UH HAVE SOME KIND OF A FANCY USER INTERFACE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT UH IS IS THERE ANY UH UH ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT UM WELL I THINK THE BUTTONS ARE STILL MM KIND OF THE MOST UM EASY FOR THE USER TO USE I MEAN UM WHAT OTHER OPTIONS WOULD YOU HAVE A LITTLE SCREEN OR SOMETHING BUT THIS WOULD BE REALLY KIND OF I THINK A LOT OF LEARNING FOR THE USER AND AND I MEAN THE USER JUST WANTS TO GET UM GET A RESULT UM QUICKLY NOT TO SPEND TIME IN LIKE UM GIVING SEVERAL ORDERS UM I DUNNO I THINK I TH I WOULD I WOULD THINK THE PUT THE BUTTONS BUT IF IF YOU HAVE OTHER MM PROPOSALS UM MM SO WELL WE CAN PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL T WE HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE ON THAT UH I IF THE IF THE COSTS ALLOW WE CAN HAVE LIKE AN L. C. D. DISPLAY AND UH WITH UM BECAUSE WE DO WANT SOMETHING FANCY AND FASHIONABLE AS WELL SO YEAH COOL SURE WE CAN DISCUSS THAT MAYBE AFTER THE NEXT ONE DO YOU WANT TO YEAH UH AM I GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION NO WAIT OKAY HERE IT COMES OKAY HERE YOU ARE COOL AH THAT'S WHY IT WON'T MEET OKAY COOL YOU SET YEP COOL OKAY FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS UH WE NEED TO DO THE FUNCTION KEY THING SO THAT IT COMES UP ON HERE HELLO TRY TO PRESS OH OKAY YEP EXCELLENT SO WHAT I HAVE WH WHERE I'VE GOT MY INFORMATION FROM IS A SURVEY WHERE THE USABILITY LAB UM OBSERVED REMOTE CONTROL USE WITH UM A HUNDRED SUBJECTS AND THEN THEY GAVE THEM A QUESTIONNAIRE UM SO IT WAS ALL ABOUT YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE REMOTE CONTROL YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS ABOUT REMOTE CONTROLS AND UM THE POSSIBILITY OF SPEECH RECOGNITION AND L. C. D. SCREENS IN REMOTE CONTROL NOT THAT THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME ANY ANSWERS ON THE L. C. D. SCREENS SO I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT BIT OUT BUT ANYWAY UM OKAY SO WHAT THEY FOUND IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HOW CURRENT REMOTE CONTROLS ARE SO YOU KNOW DEFINITELY YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT UM SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF USERS FIND MOST REMOTE CONTROLS UGLY
