would the remote come under budget as the cost of it was discussed ?[SEP] <s>marketing: it 's play-doh . project manager: play-doh 's edible . did you know that ? it 's definitely marketing: because kids yeah . industrial designer: i used to eat it . user interface: i 've , i 've definitely eaten it before . i did n't know was edible . . project manager: yeah . it 's it 's chew proof . marketing: but um , it 's it 's made edible 'cause , yeah . it 's made edible 'cause kids eat it , project manager: yeah . marketing: and if it 's was n't edible then well , normal babies . user interface: actually that makes sense , because i remember like , peopl i dunno if my mom ever did it but i remember other people 's moms making like home-made play-doh where you just like make the colouring and make some sort of sort of dough . project manager: yeah . marketing: oh yeah it is , yeah . oh yeah . project manager: right . user interface: mm-hmm . project manager: everybody everybody ready ? industrial designer: yep . user interface: yeah . project manager: okay , let 's have your um let 's get have the uh presentation ? industrial designer: user interface: we 've got some . industrial designer: we 've got a cool prototype . user interface: yeah , it 's pretty exciting . so , everything uh that we wanted we wanted it to be ergonomic and to be made out of rubber , very simple and easy to use , industrial designer: double curved . project manager: nice . user interface: yeah , double curved , marketing: user interface: um but also something that was gon na jump out at people , something that would be different uh , separate it from the other remotes out on the market . so uh i think if you put this in the palm of your hand , you 'll see what a nice thing we have going here . project manager: marketing: that is cool . user interface: so , basically , if you hold it like that , the one on your thumb , yeah , the thumb button is the power button . project manager: mm-hmm . mm-hmm . user interface: your index finger is channel up , middle finger is channel down , ring finger is volume up , your pinkie is volume down . marketing: what 's the big blue thing ? user interface: that 's the lock button , has a l_ l_ on it marketing: oh cool . user interface: and then the m_ is a mute button . and then it also has digit project manager: what button ? um . oh mute . user interface: for muting the uh marketing: and mute . user interface: um and then then you can also there 's a numeric keypad on the top so you can key directly to the to the channel if you want . marketing: project manager: okay . user interface: so it 's really basic functionalities as far as what keys are available , but we think it 's very comfortable and very innovative and it looks different . project manager: that certainly does . marketing: user interface: so all the , i mean the important keys are right at your f f you know right at uh at a convenient place for you to to access them . project manager: mm . industrial designer: which is ant anti-r_s_i_ . user interface: so you do n't you yeah . it should be . project manager: mm . user interface: and it 's also conformable to the size of your hand . i mean if that 's too big , it 's a rubber remote , so you can , you know project manager: yeah . 's great . user interface: change that . so d does that uh what mesh with what you guys were hoping and for and expecting or does it marketing: oh it 's so cute . industrial designer: project manager: i have one thing about it , but it 's a small thing , but it 'd mean we 'd have to make a right-handed one and a left-handed one . industrial designer: oh right , yeah . user interface: ah , that 's good thinking , yeah . project manager: but , that 's i do n't see why that 's not possible . user interface: yeah , if we build rocket ships why ca n't we build left-handed and right-handed uh remotes . project manager: yeah . they make left-handed scissors , you know . user interface: yeah , i did n't i did n't think about that , but i 'd yeah , . marketing: yeah , but then but then you can learn to use your right h like i was just thinking if there 's left-handers and right-handers in the family , what , they have two remotes ? project manager: yes s industrial designer: yeah , i know i know people who have left-handed and right-handed people in the family and they all use the computer for the whole the same computer the fes family and they have a mouse , and everybody is using right-handed mouse . project manager: mm . sure . sure . marketing: yeah , i 'm sure they 'll be able to user interface: uh-huh . marketing: i mean it 's only pressing buttons , you do n't have to do anything , you know , extraordinary . i think everybody can press a button with their left and right hand so user interface: yeah . industrial designer: imagine d are you right handed ? project manager: yeah . industrial designer: imagine you 're doing it with your left hand , i do n't think it 's too marketing: yeah , it 's not industrial designer: but we can have both uh marketing: yeah . have them in stock . project manager: yeah . industrial designer: yeah . marketing: make 'em more appealing as well . project manager: but um other than that , i mean uh and that 's um , you know , that 's just something , i think i think it 's great , yeah , great idea . user interface: do you think it says r_r_ ? industrial designer: i think it does . user interface: project manager: i think it 's , well , if the r_r_ motto is , we bring fashion to to electronics , i 'd say that could be quite fashionable . user interface: fashion to electronics . yeah . industrial designer: yeah . user interface: yeah . and it 's got the b the black and yellow and blue . project manager: yeah . user interface: plus red , which is sort of a a fruit and vegetable uh uh . project manager: yeah . marketing: . industrial designer: there you go . user interface: so that 's that 's our end of things wha uh project manager: yeah , very good , yeah . user interface: that 's project manager: it 's come up with what we 've you know , the things that 's what we 've what we were looking at doing , has n't it , all seems to be there . user interface: yeah . project manager: well done . marketing: and all the playing around is uh project manager: um before we move on marketing: yeah , i 'm just do you wan na plug in ? project manager: i need that cable . marketing: okay . project manager: thank you . yeah . um . one thing i do need to do we need to look at , is the costs . user interface: the costs , was that what you said ? industrial designer: play-doh is very cheap . project manager: well , yeah . user interface: marketing: mm . project manager: um marketing: play-doh wo n't last very long everybody 'll go like , oops , it 's gone . user interface: but it 's edible . marketing: mm-hmm . mm-hmm . industrial designer: chew proof . user interface: marketing: well , they 'll buy more of them if you eat them , . user interface: that was the main criteria from the last meeting , it had to be chew proof . industrial designer: project manager: yeah . uh right . okay , now i think we 'll do this i could do you know , i can do this o on my own or i could do it with you , marketing: yeah . industrial designer: oh ho-ho . project manager: but it 's just easy enough to go through it with you , so we 're going for the kinetic power . industrial designer: yep . project manager: and the electronics , we decided on it being just a simple , the easiest thing that 's inside it . ooh . industrial designer: project manager: so the case , we 've gone for the double curved . um and it 's made out of rubber . the interface is push-buttons . and button supplements well they 're in diff special colours , are n't they ? marketing: yeah . project manager: so special colours . user interface: yeah . marketing: it 's better for project manager: special form , yeah , they 're a special form there in shapes and stuff . user interface: yeah , i mean , these these ones on the side are curved kind of , so marketing: and special material . project manager: yep . yeah . um . are they made out of any special material ? industrial designer: rubber . project manager: no they 're not . they 're not made out of wood or titanium or rubber or anything , they 're just simple user interface: the buttons are rubber . marketing: well they 're rubber , are n't they ? project manager: okay . right . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: so let 's see if that comes within budget . and it does . that is gon na cost uh industrial designer: . marketing: we 're under budget . project manager: yeah . that 's gon na cost ten ten euro seventy cents a unit to make . and our target was it had to come in at under twelve fifty . user interface: that 's cool . yeah . yeah . project manager: so , user interface: and we 're actua actually making a better profit than we expected . project manager: this is all very very good . the bosses will be very pleased . user interface: project manager: okay , let 's just save this so i can e-mail it to you . uh . marketing: project manager: save it in save it in the uh my documents . marketing: it 's already saved , i think . project manager: splendid . okay . so uh , that 's done with this with this um doodah , so you 're . gon na do what you were gon na do , marketing: thank you . mm . project manager: your evaluation . marketing: oh , yeah . this is where we all get to i get to write on the , oops , on the board . right . project manager: marketing: oh . 's function project manager: f_ eight . marketing: okay . project manager: i love the smell of that play-doh . user interface: yeah , project manager: i cou . marketing: mm . user interface: have some have some . marketing: okay . so , evaluation . we 're gon na do it all together so we evaluate each criteria . i 've got the criterias . and we have to do it on a scale of one to seven , one being true , so it 's it 's more like it 's fits the criteria , and seven being as in it does n't fit the criteria . and the criterias are , and i 'll draw this up on the board so we have a box . and this is false , this is just like to keep you informed . so seven 's here and one 's here and then you 've got in the middle . so the first criteria . do you all get what we 're doing ? industrial designer: mm-hmm . user interface: mm-hmm . marketing: okay , cool . okay , first criteria , look and feel . so the does remote look and feel fashionable to what we talked about ? as it is it colour-wise and is it spongy ? user interface: mm . marketing: so what mark should we give for that ? project manager: i would give it a seven . user interface: yeah . marketing: as in it 's not . project manager: oh sorry , one , d yeah . user interface: oh , sorry , one . industrial designer: a one . marketing: a one a one . so i 'll just write criteria criteria one we get one . second criteria , new technology . have we implemented new technology ? as in the new high-tech industrial designer: well , the kinetic thing , yeah . project manager: yeah . user interface: yeah . that was our main technological innovation w every everything else was fairly simple , but the fact that we used the kinetic energy was new . project manager: . marketing: so it 's . so we 'll give it a industrial designer: well so the um user interface: it 's ergonomic , marketing: user interface: but that 's not that 's that 's a design that 's a des that 's a design thing , yeah . project manager: yeah , but that 's not a technological thing , that 's another thing , i that 's another marketing thing . industrial designer: yeah . yeah . yeah . true . project manager: so on the technical side of it it marketing: yeah . i 'd say it 's about a a twoish ? industrial designer: two . user interface: it 's about in the mid in the middle somewhere , marketing: two . user interface: maybe , yeah , i dunno . marketing: three . industrial designer: yeah . user interface: maybe three , yeah . marketing: three . so criteria three is is it easy to use ? project manager: easy to use . marketing: i think it 's a one , i think . project manager: i 'd say it 's i would n't user interface: yeah . project manager: not if you 're left-handed it 's not . i would give it a i would give it a two , user interface: mm . marketing: two , project manager: 'cause i i it i it i it is more geared for right-handed people than left-handed people , but marketing: so it 's user interface: okay . industrial designer: mm . marketing: but if we make a right-handed and a left-handed then ? user interface: if we 're gon na have one left-handed and one right-handed then i would give it a one , but otherwise otherwise a two . project manager: yeah . marketing: yeah . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: give it a t give it a two . marketing: yeah , okay . 'kay , criteria four is costs . project manager: cost . it 's come in under budget . marketing: 's great . project manager: so that 's a definite one . user interface: yeah . that was great . marketing: yeah . project manager: amount of buttons . marketing: like the amount of buttons , project manager: contains only the necessary buttons . marketing: 'cause people like a lot le like so it 's a one ? project manager: yeah . industrial designer: yeah . user interface: yeah . marketing: um criteria six . r_s_i_ is it good against ? industrial designer: yes s yeah . marketing: yes . very good . project manager: so it 's anti-r_s_i_ . marketing: it 's one . and criteria seven , which is the last one , does it get lost ? industrial designer: it 's yellow . marketing: is it easy to get lost ? project manager: i do n't think it 's gon na get lost easily . user interface: it is very bright , yeah . industrial designer: marketing: no ? but it is smallish . industrial designer: two . user interface: it 's not the kinda thing that 's gon na slip like between a couch cushion or something , you know . maybe it will . uh . industrial designer: t marketing: mm . i think i it would , could be , could get lost . user interface: you think it could lost project manager: two . marketing: mm . yeah . user interface: mm . project manager: i mean it marketing: i mean it 's not fully it 's not fully like you ca n't say project manager: no , i mean marketing: i mean , it 's not a one , definitely . project manager: i mean , you could still flush it down the toilet theoretically , but user interface: okay . yeah , anything , i mean . okay . it 's bigger than the average mobile , i guess . marketing: yeah . user interface: but , yeah , it can get lost . marketing: the mobiles get lost all the time . user interface: yeah . okay , yeah , two is fine . marketing: but then you ring 'em and you find them . so industrial designer: mm . mm . user interface: yeah , yeah . project manager: okay . marketing: yeah . so , that 's that . so that 's the evaluation , so i 'd say yay . project manager: alright it 's all all systems go . industrial designer: we 've , we 've done well . marketing: it 's like like a number one . um . user interface: yeah . marketing: number one product . user interface: mm . project manager: we ca n't fail . marketing: all done , thanks . we fitted all the criterias . project manager: marketing: yeah . project manager: . marketing: yeah , so project manager: well done , reissa . marketing: so that 's that one . project manager: okay , i i think um i just wan na put in as project manager the you know , little bit of praise for everybody here for how they 've worked on it , user interface: project manager: you know , both individually and as a team . you know you 've w everyone 's come up with their own individual ideas in their own different departments , um and then come together and worked in , you know , integrally , you know , at the right times , psp , you know , especially you two . marketing: project manager: that 's all , you know , gone very very well user interface: yeah . project manager: and and and be you know , has been good communication going on . user interface: yeah , during our design i mean there was some s some heated heated discussion , industrial designer: user interface: but we we kept we tried to keep it cool and and project manager: did you have to go down to the the corporate squash court and bash a few balls about ? marketing: user interface: just just industrial designer: well . user interface: we just had to we just had to squeeze our product a little bit and marketing: industrial designer: you know project manager: industrial designer: marketing: project manager: fantastic . industrial designer: it is . user interface: now you guys have been a a great team . think we 're the we 're the envy of all the of all the other r_r_ teams , . marketing: been cool . project manager: i think so marketing: project manager: i i , you know , and i think we 've co we have come we 've come up with something new , something that has n't been done before , we have n't we 're not just rehashing an old design . marketing: in four diff in in four meetings . project manager: yeah . marketing: funny , all designer meetings could be this quick . project manager: you know , maybe this is n't a simulation , maybe this is actually so it 's like sony or someone like that they 're they 're just , yeah , they get marketing: user interface: yeah i think they 're actually trying to find ideas for a ideal remote . marketing: they 're using our ideas . user interface: project manager: yeah . yeah , two years ' time this will be on the market . user interface: project manager: ex exactly that product marketing: user interface: project manager: um thum we 'll go , yeah , we designed that and no-one will believe us . user interface: marketing: project manager: but um user interface: so at this stage , i mean , is this the last meeting of the project ? we do n't uh have another one after it 's gone gone to marke market or something ? marketing: yeah . project manager: no , marketing: project manager: i think when this meeting 's finished like officially , there b we 'll get a uh questionnaire to fill in . marketing: industrial designer: y oh really ? user interface: project manager: or six , uh marketing: just start summarising now . you can reply to the same message . project manager: i have n't got message . marketing: see summary , there . if you just reply to that one . user interface: so there 's no way to like predict what our 'cause we had a we originally had a as far as our financial uh um goals , we had a specific number for profits that we wanted . it was fifty mil fifty million marketing: was it was it fifty or five ? user interface: i do n't remember . but there 's not a way to compute that , i mean , since we saved on the on the production cost , do we know how much we 're making on profit ? project manager: it gets handed over to another department . marketing: depends how much we sell . user interface: uh . project manager: what our what our project was was to come up with the product , basically . user interface: hmm . project manager: the for the and just basically is it it come can is it within budget . when it c when it comes to all the other things of how to sell it and , you know , the b the profits and all that that 's other departments it 's another team that actually work out the mai the user interface: but we have a vested interest project manager: oh yeah , the all the guys in the profit sharing , yeah . user interface: prof profit sharing . project manager: um . yeah , that 's it . you know , we 've we 've we 've made i we 've made marketing: we finished an hour earlier . project manager: we 've designed the product , we 've ma we 've got the prototype , it 's within budget , it 's does everything that we wanted it to do . it 's new , it 's it 's um something that uh that is n't out there already . user interface: i think actually and one advantage of of this is that after the uh , you know , after this fad of fruit and vegetables passes this will still be c a cool remote , you know . marketing: mm . user interface: we 're not we 're not you know , tying tying our cart to that one horse . project manager: yeah . marketing: mm . project manager: well , this is very marketable in that it is it 's it 's something that 's kind of new and looks a bit quirky for people who want that , marketing: definitely . project manager: it 's that it 's um , hang on , i wrote it down here somewhere industrial designer: user interface: project manager: oh no i thi i put it in one of my e-mails that i sent off . um that , you know , it 's marketable in the sense that it 's whilst all these other remotes uh actually do give you repetitive strain injury , our one does the complete opposite , you know , user interface: mm . mm . project manager: so that 's something that 's new , which is one of the criteria they asked us to come up with something with something new . user interface: mm . it make watching tv healthy . project manager: yeah , and if you 're not having a good time with the tv , you can f throw it about , you know . marketing: yeah . user interface: project manager: it 's fine , it 's kid proof . marketing: just do n't sh do n't throw it at any of the ornaments and break them . user interface: uh . project manager: well , you can break the ornaments , but you wo n't break that . marketing: no . project manager: yeah . so all in all , i think we 've done very well . industrial designer: mm yep . project manager: well done everybody . user interface: right , you too . marketing: yay . project manager: um . drinks are on the company . user interface: industrial designer: cool . marketing: project manager: in the corporate bar that 's next to the corporate swimming pool on the top floor that we 're that 've all just gained access to . user interface: mm . industrial designer: glad to hear that . project manager: yeah . that 's it . user interface: that 's it . project manager: well , as far as i t as far as i know . um . marketing: yep . we have n't got the five minute left thing yet . project manager: no . anyone wan na play i spy ? marketing: mm mm . industrial designer: user interface: i guess it 's probably better that we wrap it up than have five minutes of silence . should we call the day then ? project manager: yeah , i guess . i mean we 're gon na get asked to fill out another questionnaire . user interface: uh , right . project manager: um . it 's probably gon na be the same as one we 've done before . user interface: mm-hmm . project manager: but i 'm not the authority to say that it is . marketing: in project . project manager: um how does everyone feel about the technology that 's been used in this ? the sort of using of the the pens and writing on these special pads and all that ? marketing: i love it . i love it . i think it 's cool . user interface: marketing: being all wired up and a vibrating pen and it 's cool . project manager: marketing: being watched . um project manager: industrial designer: user interface: marketing: user interface: your moment to shine . project manager: yeah . marketing: wow . project manager: i thi you know , i 'd i 'd n yeah , as we said earlier , i 've not never seen that before . something that t the whiteboard industrial designer: yeah . project manager: thingy , that 's great . um , but a p a pen with a camera on it , i do n't think it 's such a new thing . i mean it 's i or in such a new idea . it would be different if it was sort of hand writing recognition stuff , but as it 's not industrial designer: yeah . project manager: it 's literally that 'll come up on a computer screen as a picture file rather than actual text . marketing: mm . user interface: right , i think they do want to do hand writing recognition on that , it 's just the first step . project manager: yeah . yeah . mm . user interface: marketing: logitech . user interface: i guess we should end this , since we 're off off topic . so . shall we marketing: yeah . meeting adjourned . user interface: right . project manager: industrial designer: project manager: yeah . </s> [SEP]would the remote come under budget as the cost of it was discussed ?
play-doh would be used as it was very cheap , edible and chew-proof . the energy source would be kinetic power and electronics would be the simplest . for the case , it would be double curved and made of rubber . the interface was push buttons and they would be in special colours and forms . considering the cost of the above materials , the remote would be within budget as it cost ten seventy euros a unit .
