  User Interface: {vocalsound} I'm Stephanie and I am the User Interface Designer .
  Industrial Designer: I'm Krista and I'm the Industrial Designer .
  Project Manager: Okay . Um so f here's our agenda for today . Um we're gonna do some tool training , project plan and discuss then close . {vocalsound} Um so . So our aim is to produce a remote control that is original , trendy and user friendly . And to do this , we have to {disfmarker} um there's certain things we have to consider about functional aspects and conceptual design of the thing . So . We'll get to that . Oh there it is . Right . Functional design , conceptual design and detailed design . So throughout our next couple of meetings we'll we'll be covering these things . Um {vocalsound} so we're gonna try out our white board . If we'll all draw our favourite animal , to sum up the characteristics of that animal . Okay .
  User Interface: So you want us to draw it and then talk about it ? Or just draw it ?

  Marketing: Who starts ? We ought to decide who starts and {vocalsound} all that . No ?
  Project Manager: Any volunteers ?
  Marketing: Uh-huh .
  Project Manager: Does anyone know what they wanna draw ? {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Mm , I gotta think about it for a second like . Uh {disfmarker} Does it have to be {vocalsound} functional , trendy and user friendly ? {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} I don't think so .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Um . Okay , I'll draw . I'll draw one .
  Project Manager: {gap}
  User Interface: Make sure {gap} my things here . Uh-oh . Right . Okay , my favourite animal is {disfmarker} see . {vocalsound} Oops .
  Project Manager: A dolphin .
  User Interface: Yeah , it's {vocalsound} {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'S like playing Pictionary .
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah , I guess it has a fin on top too , yeah . {vocalsound} It's my dolphin .
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} So what characteristics do you like about your animal ? {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: I like its tail .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Um , no , I think dolphins are really uh {disfmarker} I dunno , they're smart and they they're cute and they like swimming and that's cool , like {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} They're graceful .
  User Interface: they're graceful yeah , and they're so {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Sleek {vocalsound} .
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah they're sleek
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: and they look intelligent and I don't know , they're {disfmarker} I guess it's the whole like binocular vision thing .
  Project Manager: I don't know how intelligent that one looks {vocalsound} .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Yeah he he doesn't look that smart {vocalsound} . He's a {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I dunno um they're {disfmarker} I think it's cool the the um {vocalsound} the interaction that or the th things that {disfmarker} the reasons people seem to like you know {disfmarker} you get ex you know people are sitting on the beach and p they're like oh look there's dolphins and it's kinda like {vocalsound} {disfmarker} but they're you know they jump around in the water and they're happy and they're mammals , but they swim . {gap} {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Yes . {vocalsound} Does anybody else wanna draw their animal ?
  Industrial Designer: Suppose I can draw an animal , yeah .
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} .
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Uh-oh there goes the ten .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} It's a cat . {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: I don't know . They sleep all day , {vocalsound} they're easy to draw {vocalsound} .
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Do you wanna {gap} anything ?
  Marketing: Uh yeah .
  Project Manager: I dunno if the the {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: I think the pen is running out of {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Well I had the cat as well , but uh I've got a spare one .
  Project Manager: ah .
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: So I'll use the spare one . Um but it's harder to draw {gap} um .
  User Interface: And the pen's dying {vocalsound} .
  Marketing: Um .
  Project Manager: A horse .
  User Interface: Horse .
  Marketing: Uh . Um I don't {vocalsound} really know how the legs go ,
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: That's very good .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: but anyway I will do that . Um , and the main reason is they're pretty . I think they're very pretty and they go well with the environment , and I like the way they run and I used to do horse riding and they're just very sort of sturdy and nice animals . And I like the way um they feel , sort of under under the hand , I think that's pretty much it . Um {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: {gap} Yeah . This cord's {disfmarker} {gap} Uh . Right . Actually I haven't thought of anything yet {vocalsound} . Uh {disfmarker} It's a pig .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} So I'm thinking we should design a remote control that's water resistant , strong and furry . What do you think , yeah ? This is {disfmarker}
  User Interface: And furry .
  Project Manager: yeah , well like a cat , you know , soft yeah .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Textile {disfmarker} tactile , {vocalsound} tactile remote control .
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Although {disfmarker} uh I'll just put there . Right .
  User Interface: You're dragging a {disfmarker} you have a tail {vocalsound} .
  Project Manager: {gap} Oh my gosh , this is disastrous . Sorry about that . {vocalsound} Okay . {vocalsound} So moving on . Our selling price goal is twenty five Euro and profit aim is fifty million Euro . So I'm guessing that we're not actually in Scotland , we're in some European country {vocalsound} . Um , and we will hope to sell this internationally .
  User Interface: Sorry can you just say that {disfmarker} what's the {disfmarker} what are our price goals again ?
  Project Manager: Um selling price is twenty five Euro . Profit aim fifty million Euro .
  User Interface: Okay .
  Marketing: How many should we sell then ? {vocalsound} Um , a lot ,
  Project Manager: Anyone a mathematician ? {vocalsound}
  Marketing: two two two million , {gap} two mi no , more f four million .
  Industrial Designer: Two million .
  Marketing: Four million . And it {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: well it's the profit so if a profit for each is twelve fifty , that'll do four million .
  Industrial Designer: Oh , yeah .
  Marketing: {vocalsound} It is a lot . Uh .
  Project Manager: So f that's a fifty percent um uh . Um , I don't know what these mean because I didn't actually make the slide-show . Experience with remote control . So I guess we have to reflect on our experiences with remote controls to decide what um we would like to see in a convenient , practical , nice remote control . Um so do we have any initial ideas for uh how this remote control should be designed or formatted or the the buttons it should have .
  Marketing: Um , I think one thing is that it should be easy to find
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: I was thinking that too .
  Marketing: bec yeah {vocalsound} bec
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  User Interface: I think we should design something that has like a {disfmarker} so you can {disfmarker} like somehow like you {disfmarker} I mean you always know where your T_V_ is , so just have a call button ,
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: I've always wanted that ,
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  User Interface: so like {vocalsound} you can push a button on your T_V_ {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Yeah , yeah yeah yeah yeah .
  Project Manager: I mean you have it for the portable phone , so why not {disfmarker} yeah .
  User Interface: Yeah , yeah yeah yeah , so you should have a call button on your television to be able to find your remote control .
  Marketing: Yeah . And even I think a little light . Um or even a {disfmarker} maybe a vib a vibrating thing . I dunno but someth because it's usually under the sofa .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Yeah . Yeah .
  Marketing: In which case you're going to be l but if it has a sort of signal which isn't any sound {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Yeah .
  Marketing: I don't know if it's expensive maybe to {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I don't {disfmarker} yeah I mean it {disfmarker} but like I mean {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Maybe call is enough . But yeah .
  User Interface: just I mean like your phone even just has so {disfmarker} like it can vibrate , it can light up and make noise and I dunno {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Yeah yeah yeah . Yeah .
  Project Manager: What if it had something like um just like a magnet on the back of it and you could {disfmarker} I mean j just to have some place to put it besides like a base . You know like a portable phone has a base ,
  User Interface: Yeah . Yeah , or if it had a {disfmarker} yeah .
  Project Manager: like just to have a home for it .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Yeah yeah yeah yeah .
  User Interface: Yeah ,
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Cause people just stick it on top of their T_V_ , but the point of having a remote is not to have to walk over to the T_V_ , so {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I mean {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Well that's why it's always in the couch .
  User Interface: Yeah .
  Project Manager: Yeah {vocalsound} .
  User Interface: Yeah , in in the couch {vocalsound} .
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {gap}
  User Interface: I dunno , it seems like though that that would be hard , 'cause you not you're not gonna be lazy anyway and {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Yeah . Maybe we should design couches that have the remote control in the side arm . {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Yeah so we {disfmarker} {vocalsound} the project is now couches and remote controls .
  Marketing: {vocalsound} But even just a thing to attach it to the w you know if you had a thing , a pretty object attached to the wall . But that would really make it more expensive .
  User Interface: Yeah .
  Marketing: But it's only a plastic thing , r really , the thing on the wall .
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  User Interface: Yeah .
  Marketing: Something like that .
  Project Manager: Do you think it needs to be bigger to not lose , or does that not factor in ?
  Marketing: And the other thing is {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Bigger .
  Marketing: Not {disfmarker} well it needs to be sort of {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Like Hand hand held size , yeah .
  User Interface: Hand-sized .
  Marketing: Yeah . I don't think you need a {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Not not huge , but {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: But definitely not {disfmarker} well I don't know .
  User Interface: It can't be that hard to put some kind of a noise on it .
  Marketing: No , it can't be , uh-uh .
  Industrial Designer: No it really wouldn't be .
  Project Manager: Huh .
  User Interface: Or like or like a light thing . You know . I dunno {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Like spaceship .
  User Interface: . Yeah {vocalsound} . Or make it mobile so it runs around and comes come find you yeah {vocalsound} .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: That would be really {disfmarker} I'm sure we could do that for twenty five Euros a pop .
  Project Manager: Little homing device . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Um .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah {vocalsound} . Uh .
  Project Manager: Okay . So what do we think this remote control should {disfmarker} Five minutes .
  Marketing: Oh dear .
  Project Manager: Till the meeting {disfmarker} oh right . This is what we have left . Um , oh we just {gap}
  User Interface: I also think though that it shouldn't have too many buttons ,
  Industrial Designer: Yeah , I agree .
  User Interface: 'cause I hate that when they have too many buttons and {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} B_ button and the F_ button , they don't do anything .
  Marketing: Yeah , yeah yeah .
  User Interface: I mean I know it has to have enough functions but like , I don't know you , just have like eight thousand buttons and you're like , no , you never use half of them . So .
  Project Manager: You {disfmarker} what if um may be a little fancy but what if it had like a little screen , so it has less buttons but it still has all the functions . Like the way a mobile phone does .
  User Interface: That would be cool .
  Marketing: Yeah .
  User Interface: Yeah . I mean it just seems like {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: So you could like um {disfmarker} like if you have I dunno if you have satellite if you have a hundred channels , you can {disfmarker} the way you do it on your radio is that you uh {disfmarker}
  User Interface: yeah .
  Project Manager: what do you call it {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Select . Uh .
  Project Manager: s y yeah but you can programme , so you can programme like your favourite channels , so like if you had a s
  Marketing: But , would you have the screen on the thing , or would you have it on the telly transmitting the screen .
  Project Manager: That's something we could decide . Mm .
  Marketing: Because {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I guess they would go together somehow ? I dunno .
  Marketing: Because , I don't know if it's {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I think it's e expensive , if you have {disfmarker} if you use the telly screen , 'cause the telly's already a screen , then you can pro sort of have a programming function , really easy sort of arrow up and down , on the remote ,
  Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .
  Marketing: and then use the telly as a screen .
  Project Manager: Right .
  Marketing: But um {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I'm thinking kind of {disfmarker}
  Marketing: But yeah for sure . Something like not {disfmarker} it's not on the button but it's telling you what to do ,
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  Marketing: is that what you mean ?
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  Marketing: Right . Mm .
  User Interface: Or like you h you see those you know people {disfmarker} I'm thinking of like celebrity cribs kind of things when like they have all those {disfmarker} these things that at their house you know {disfmarker} their their entire house is so electronic , and they have like this one master control that {disfmarker} and it's like a hand held like {disfmarker} turns on everything sort of control and it has like a screen and like {disfmarker} so I think it should be possible to have some kind of a screen , I don't know if {disfmarker} it must be {disfmarker} it would probably {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Yeah .
  User Interface: must be ex too expensive though t like I dunno .
  Project Manager: Mm .
  Marketing: But like mobile phones have screens and they're cheap .
  User Interface: Yeah , yeah . Yeah that's true .
  Project Manager: Yeah . I mean , we have to remember our budget is twelve point {disfmarker} twelve fifty for {disfmarker} to actually make the device .
  Marketing: Yeah .
  User Interface: Mm .
  Project Manager: Um but it's something to think about , yeah .
  User Interface: Well , I guess we have to get to that later , yeah .
  Project Manager: I mean we'll have to see how much that would be .
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Or some {disfmarker} it i we can find out probably on the internet {vocalsound} how much it's {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  Marketing: Um . Yeah , and the other thing you said that thing about robust and water um {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: What was the word ?
  User Interface: Furry .
  Marketing: Water resistant .
  Project Manager: Oh I was just {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: No but it's {disfmarker} I thought , ah , spot on .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Good feel , tact tactile , good tactile feel ,
  Project Manager: Yeah .
  Marketing: maybe something didn doesn't make your hands sweat lot .
  User Interface: Yeah . Mm , mm .
  Marketing: That's quite annoying .
  Project Manager: Maybe um just like a simple thing to have a clip on it , like so you can clip it to your {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Yeah .
  Project Manager: like that's another {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Yeah , clip . Ooh {vocalsound} . Um .
  Project Manager: Um . We should probably start wrapping up , um we've got some initial ideas that we can all look into . Um , and come up with some new ones for the next meeting , which will be in another thirty minutes . Um . So . Yeah . The Industrial Designer , what does that stand for , I_D_ ,
  Industrial Designer: Yeah I think so .
  Project Manager: yeah {vocalsound} um is going to be looking more into the working design . So I guess you'd be looking at lots of the things we discussed about screen and um that sort of thing . The something , what is the U_I_ ?
  Industrial Designer: User .
  Project Manager: Yeah , what does it stand for again ?
  User Interface: That's me . Uh , User Interface design .
  Project Manager: User Interface Designer . So that's gonna be more technical . I guess that maybe the working design has also to do with like the physical feat like just the way it looks and the way it w
  User Interface: So technical function .
  Industrial Designer: The working design is the structure .
  Project Manager: Yeah , yeah .
  User Interface: What is technical functions exactl I I don't really know what {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Um , I guess you'd have to find out {vocalsound} .
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {gap}
  Industrial Designer: Um .
  Marketing: It says on that email but it {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: It was in the email .
  User Interface: It does but it {disfmarker} I just don't really {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: I wrote down what mine were .
  Marketing: It said um {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Yeah .
  Marketing: It said {disfmarker}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} What effect should the thing ha should it have , okay . Alright .
  Marketing: Yeah
  User Interface: And working design .
  Marketing: like {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Okay .
  Marketing: Be a medium between you and the telly I think ,
  User Interface: Yeah , yeah . Alright .
  Project Manager: Mm .
  Marketing: that's uh {disfmarker}
  User Interface: And how it works , okay . Right . I'm I'm on task .
  Project Manager: And the M_E_ , what does that stand for {vocalsound} ? M
  Industrial Designer: Marketing .
  Project Manager: Marketing , right . Um {vocalsound} .
  Marketing: Marketing . Oh it's written here , but um .
  Project Manager: So we'll be working on the user requirements , um {disfmarker} Yeah .
  Marketing: Okay .
  Project Manager: So I guess that wraps it up . I'll see you all in thirty minutes . I just did .
input_prefix: Summarize the whole meeting.
