Project Manager: So {disfmarker} Hello . {vocalsound}
Marketing: Good afternoon . Sorry I'm a little late .
Project Manager: No problem .
Marketing: Got stuck in the traffic .
Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound}
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: That's possible on uh this time of day . Starts at three o'clock . Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Uh , let me see . Our fourth and last meeting . There he is . Yes . Okay this our last meeting . In this meeting we will discuss our final design . And we will do some evaluation about the , not only the product , but also the project . And then we're going to close the project today as well . So after this you will be uh free to go and uh spend all your money . {vocalsound}
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
Project Manager: And this uh design , detailed design meeting uh we will discuss uh the look-and-feel of the design , the usability interface design , and we will do the product evaluation . Um , in order to do that we have this agenda . We'll have the prototype presentation first . Then we will set up some evaluation cri um criteria . {vocalsound} Then we will look at the finance . Uh we will have to see if everything we wanna do is also possible within our budget . Because everything costs money , and the more functions you wanna have the more money it will cost . So we have to see if it fits within the twelve and a half Euro per remote . But we will see that later . Then we will do the project uh evaluation , and the closing after that .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: We've got forty minutes . So we will be finished at half past three . But first um we will do the {disfmarker} this is prototype presentation . So , if some yeah if somebody wants step forward .
Industrial Designer: Okay . Well this is what me and Richard came up with . The default spot for the on-off button . The mute button just below that . Then there's the volume and channel selectors . Simple plus-minus button . Uh we thought of a help button . If you hold it and you press another button , uh the help goes to the L_C_D_ screen . Then there's the zero to {disfmarker} one to zero buttons . A button for teletext . A button for the subtitles . And the company logo . So it's rather simple prototype . And uh we'll have to see from testing uh how the users take it .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: Um , {vocalsound} is this the moment where we ask or can ask questions about the functionality ?
User Interface: So {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Sure uh just pop in at any time .
Marketing: Um , when you're in teletext there usually are buttons where you just you just press it and you g go to the next teletext page .
User Interface: Uh , that's just uh the normal uh as th as the normal uh remote controls uh {disfmarker} So um {disfmarker} You put it uh {disfmarker} you um came in uh page uh one hundred . Now you can use the normal uh one to zero buttons .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: And you {disfmarker} But you can also uh use the um button th for uh changing the the channel . S so uh the shifting uh button . Uh for uh yeah shif shifting up in uh on t on t uh teletext , and shifting uh down . So {disfmarker}
Marketing: Okay . Okay . Um {disfmarker} Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay . Uh but um I thought in a few meetings earlier we uh uh tried to keep it uh simple . Uh just a few buttons and large buttons .
User Interface: Oh yeah ?
Project Manager: But uh I think these are altogether quite a quite a few buttons . So I'm wondering if we if we neely {disfmarker} really need all of those buttons .
User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: I think if you look at most controls , they've got more buttons than this .
Project Manager: That's right .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: And well the on-off button , it's it's a necessity .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: You can't drop that one . The volume and channel buttons , you need you obviously need those those .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: The mute button could be replaced uh by pressing the volume-down button twice . So we could cancel that one . I think the help button really is necessary
User Interface: Yeah yeah .
Industrial Designer: because there's no other way to know when someone wants to know what a button does .
Project Manager: Mm .
User Interface: Uh , or you can build in uh when you press uh one button uh uh {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Long time . Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: If you put {disfmarker}
User Interface: But m Yeah . We disc discuss that already . But uh we think uh old people uh don't know that uh option . So uh they just put in uh put {vocalsound} press uh the button and uh {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yeah . Okay .
Industrial Designer: Well , {vocalsound} you can't leave out the number buttons I guess .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: And uh {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Uh teletext and subtitles are yeah necessary .
Industrial Designer: And {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
User Interface: Oh .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay .
Industrial Designer: So it's rather basic already .
Marketing: Yeah . Think so . That's what I pointed out earlier . If you just make a control for just the T_V_ there's just not much to gain here .
Project Manager: Yep .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay . So we had somebody about th interfa Something about the design of the buttons there ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah , they're {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Just n normal plain buttons .
User Interface: Yeah . Yeah ,
Industrial Designer: It's rather hard to draw on the white-board .
User Interface: it {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: But they're supposed to be equal sized , round , with a with a little logo on it for the for the volume , the the triangle and stuff .
Project Manager: Yeah . 'Kay .
User Interface: Yeah yeah . Just to recognise it , so uh {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: Just for recognition .
User Interface: Uh yeah and now we don't need uh LEDs or um {disfmarker} Y uh
Project Manager: No .
User Interface: s some uh remote controls uh do it also ,
Project Manager: No .
User Interface: but um uh because we use the little display we don't uh have to use it . Uh so {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yeah . Okay .
Industrial Designer: So and for the materials we've just chosen for rubber buttons . With a a different colour than the case .
User Interface: Nay .
Project Manager: Yep .
Industrial Designer: So they jump out .
Project Manager: Okay .
Industrial Designer: And uh that's about it .
Project Manager: That's nice . Then because we only have thirty minutes left , I will move on to the finance part , which is pretty exciting , to see if it's all possible what we wanna do . And I can tell you that we're going to have a pretty hard time producing this for twelve and a half Euros .
Marketing: {vocalsound}
User Interface: Mm .
Project Manager: If we see {disfmarker} I don't know if I've filled in correctly , so just correct me if you see uh something wrong . I counted two batteries . But maybe we can also use one . I don't know if it's possible .
Marketing: Since it rechargeable .
Project Manager: It's rechargeable . That's right .
User Interface: Yeah we can u just uh {gap} {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Okay . That's two Euros off . {vocalsound}
User Interface: 'Kay . {vocalsound}
Project Manager: We need the advanced chip . So there's not much to uh {vocalsound} to save there .
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} Here we have the single curves . Uh we can see that the difference between uncurved and the single curved is one Euro . Um ,
User Interface: Mm .
Project Manager: I don't know , but I think the single curved is good for design , and also for the display to have a prominent place on the remote control .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: I think we have to keep that .
Industrial Designer: Yes .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Then we have the case material supplements . It's plastic . It's the cheapest one we need . So that's uh not much to save either . But then the biggest costs are the buttons . So maybe we really should try to discard some buttons to uh keep our costs low .
User Interface: Okay .
Project Manager: Because you have to {disfmarker} we will have to get the twelve and a half Euros at the end . Um ,
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: so if we {disfmarker} Let's fir first count the buttons we have now .
User Interface: Uh {disfmarker} Sixteen , I believe so .
Project Manager: Because I {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Sixteen . Nah , that will be even more then . Eighteen Euros . So ,
User Interface: Uh seventeen . Uh with the help button .
Project Manager: seventeen .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: Um {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Okay , including the help ?
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Marketing: Damn .
Project Manager: Yeah . Uh seventeen .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: I think we can uh discard the help and the mute button uh by pressing down volume long , or pressing down a a number long .
Marketing: {vocalsound}
User Interface: {gap} .
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Project Manager: That saves us uh one Euro already . 'Cause then we have got fifteen I think ?
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Wouldn't {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Fifteen buttons .
Marketing: Yeah . No . That wouldn't be an option .
Project Manager: And this is {disfmarker}
Marketing: Uh , d I assume you'd count the volume and channel thingies for two buttons each , right ?
Project Manager: No those are one , I think .
User Interface: Yeah . Where did uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
Marketing: Well , think actually there're two buttons ,
User Interface: Uh , it's just one button .
Marketing: aren't they ?
User Interface: But , um {disfmarker} Yeah . There were uh two uh for one big button . But they are uh more expensive than the small ones . Uh , yeah . So {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yeah but th it's not stated in this files .
User Interface: It's just a {gap} .
Project Manager: So maybe we can we can even make one button with the volume and the channel in one , by pressing
Marketing: Well I was thinking , maybe you could just integrate three of those numbers to one button .
Project Manager: That's possibility as well .
Marketing: That would cut the cost .
Project Manager: So {disfmarker} And it's good for the design as well . So you can make {disfmarker} Uh let's see . If you make this {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Looks a bit like uh a cross . {vocalsound} Plus . Min .
User Interface: But I don't don't know if if it's cheaper .
Project Manager: Uh s yeah channel .
User Interface: So uh ,
Project Manager: Yeah w
User Interface: we've still got four buttons , but just um {disfmarker} So {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yeah th I think they count uh the materials .
User Interface: You got uh not not a butt button itself , but uh on the um {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yeah on the chip there . Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah . On the chip you've got still uh four uh four buttons .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: That's right . That's right .
User Interface: So {disfmarker}
Project Manager: But I think because we have the advanced chip
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} we can just count this as one button .
User Interface: Yeah , but {disfmarker}
Marketing: {vocalsound} But , I think this really is four buttons anyhow .
Project Manager: But {disfmarker} No but I think {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: Yes .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah . Maybe it is , but then it seems to me that it's impossible to get the twelve and a half Euros . Also the L_C_ display , I think it's , I think it's too expensive for the display we use .
Marketing: Yes .
Industrial Designer: Uh that's that's a big cost .
Project Manager: I think they uh try t
Industrial Designer: If we leave out the display we can also save money on the chip .
Project Manager: That's right , but what's the big advantage of our remote then ? {vocalsound}
Marketing: Only the docking station , I guess .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Which isn't the {disfmarker} the docking station isn't even in this c s schematic .
Project Manager: No .
Industrial Designer: So it's not even taken into the price .
Project Manager: That's extra . {vocalsound} That's extra . That's right .
Marketing: Maybe we should to a different supplier .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} That's an option .
Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yeah .
Project Manager: Poland . Something . {vocalsound} Polish supplier . Don't you think we can , if we can count this as v as one button , and integrate th uh these buttons in three , then we save a lot of money as well .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} We we could save money on it . But would it make the remote more usable for elderly people ?
User Interface: {gap} .
Marketing: Yeah , that's what I'm wondering . {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: My mother can't even send send an S_M_S_ message .
Project Manager: Yeah . That's a point .
Industrial Designer: So {disfmarker}
User Interface: {vocalsound} Are we gonna buy a um a remote control uh when you can uh use it ?
Marketing: Um {disfmarker}
User Interface: So um {disfmarker} Yeah . We m uh we must um stay below the um below um twelve uh fifty or {disfmarker} Can't uh go um {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yep .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: No .
Marketing: Well , since the market research indicated that older people spend their money easier , more easy , maybe it's feasible to just put the price of the remote up a little . Especially since we have those nice features .
User Interface: Nay .
Project Manager: Yeah but uh we have to stick to the twelve and a half Euros . We don't have any more budget to develop it .
User Interface: Is it impossible to {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: The margin will get too small . Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah . So {disfmarker}
User Interface: But it is possible to make one uh for uh twelve fifty .
Project Manager: It is . If you leave out the L_C_ display . And if you use less buttons . Say {disfmarker} Or you can take the single chip .
User Interface: I don't think so .
Marketing: It would be a be a pretty rigid one .
User Interface: S Yeah . {vocalsound}
Marketing: {vocalsound}
User Interface: But , you can't use uh {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: Ten .
Project Manager: There it is . {vocalsound}
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: But then w Good looking .
User Interface: Uh , wi with n Oh , with uh attractive uh o options .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: So uh , you can stay uh below uh twelve fifty . So {disfmarker}
Project Manager: I think it's uh difficult as well ,
Marketing: Or b
Project Manager: but {disfmarker}
Marketing: Basically becoming a choice between like either a good remote and a higher production cost , or just any other remote control .
Industrial Designer: No remote . {vocalsound}
Project Manager: Or we can leave out the ten buttons and take one scroll wheel for the programme numbers . Then w
User Interface: Scroll-wheel's one .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} That's {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Because then we save ten buttons .
User Interface: No , it {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Then we have five and one .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: And and see . If we have this one and we've got the advanced {disfmarker} W uh , we're getting close . {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: We're getting closer .
User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}
Marketing: But how does scroll-wheel work here ?
Project Manager: Then you will {disfmarker} Or maybe you can um scroll . If you scroll you will see the numbers on the L_C_D_ display . Until you've got the right number , then you push it .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: That would bring up the price of the scroll-wheel also . Integrated scroll-wheel push-button .
Project Manager: Alright . It's gotta scroll and push .
User Interface: Mm .
Project Manager: Okay but then you you can push uh some other button as well .
Marketing: But {disfmarker} Yeah .
Industrial Designer: You could just not scroll for a half a second .
Project Manager: Yeah . That's right . So if you scroll to a number and then you wait a half second , then it g turns to that channel .
Industrial Designer: So you won't need a button .
Marketing: I think that would be like the end of our usability .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} But it would definitely crop cost , a lot .
User Interface: D yeah . {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah , but {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
Project Manager: And we need the battery . {vocalsound} And the regular chip is not possible ? It has to be advanced ?
Industrial Designer: If you want to use an L_C_D_ screen you you need an advanced chip , yes .
Project Manager: It has to be advanced . Yeah . Okay .
User Interface: Hmm .
Project Manager: And we can save a Euro by a flat design . That's an option we can {disfmarker}
User Interface: Ja ja .
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Project Manager: Then we're almost there .
Industrial Designer: Yeah if you v could just leave out one more button .
Project Manager: Yeah . So if we {disfmarker}
User Interface: Yeah , or we have to uh skip the subtitle uh button .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah but I think that's {disfmarker} That is a big advantage ,
User Interface: So {disfmarker} Yeah {disfmarker}
Project Manager: if we're {disfmarker}
User Interface: Yeah it's a big advantage .
Project Manager: But {disfmarker}
User Interface: But um , it's {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Can we use {disfmarker} can't we integrate the teletext and the subtitles in one button ?
User Interface: Uh , yeah .
Industrial Designer: I think so . Yeah .
Project Manager: If you push it three times ?
Marketing: Well , think it's pretty much the teletext subtitles are
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: right now you just push the teletext button , go to page eight eight eight ,
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: and teletext disappears . But the subtitles stay there .
User Interface: {gap} {disfmarker} But if you push the teletext button twice {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} What if you have to scroll to page eighty eight ? Eight hundred eighty eight . {vocalsound}
Marketing: I think that's the case on most {disfmarker}
User Interface: It's uh {disfmarker} One m uh one b uh , a few buttons .
Project Manager: Ah that's not really that {disfmarker}
Marketing: Well , that could be just uh like the scroll to eight , click , scroll to eight , click , scroll to eight , click .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Okay .
Marketing: But then again that would be d j just pretty much not an option for older people ,
Industrial Designer: No .
Marketing: who don't even know what a scroll-wheel is .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: No .
Marketing: Holding a remote with {vocalsound} which they expect to have like ten buttons for the numbers one to zero .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: With only five buttons on it . And a scroll-wheel .
Project Manager: I think if you make a good advertisement uh on television and in the in the guide , you can explain to the people how to use the scroll wheel . If you just make it real simple . Because it saves it saves a lot of money . And we can keep our L_C_D_ screen , which can provide extra information . How to use the scroll wheel . How to use the other bu buttons as subtitles .
Marketing: True . True .
User Interface: Hmm .
Project Manager: And it's good for the innovative design as well . If you would erase these . Mm eraser ? And we put uh {disfmarker} Looks a bit odd maybe . {vocalsound}
Marketing: That's a pretty big scroll wheel .
Project Manager: That is {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Something like that .
Marketing: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: Then , yeah . We've got the scroll-wheel . One , two , three , four , five buttons , if we erase this one . And these are two buttons then .
Industrial Designer: We could make two buttons out of that . And just um {disfmarker} If you press the volume button you can control the volume with the scroll-wheel .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: So that would save two buttons . If you do the same for the channel .
Project Manager: Yeah . That's really a good good idea , I think . And it will make the use of the scroll wheel uh more obvious indeed .
Industrial Designer: More obvious .
Project Manager: So we make one for the volume , one for the channel . Plus scroll . That's right .
Industrial Designer: So if we {disfmarker}
Project Manager: So we've got one , two , three . Yeah , we can leave the teletext in if we want . That's m that's better .
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . So {disfmarker}
Marketing: So this is five buttons .
Industrial Designer: If we leave out all those buttons , perhaps you can go with the flat flat case . And make it smaller overall .
Project Manager: Y yeah .
Industrial Designer: So if you put the the volume and channel buttons on the same height as the on-off button , the screen right behi under that , than the scroll button
Project Manager: Mm yeah . Uh yeah , and then you can {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: you get a a much smaller remote .
Project Manager: That's right .
User Interface: Uh yeah .
Industrial Designer: And it sh
Project Manager: So we can decrease this one to four buttons .
Industrial Designer: Yeah ?
Marketing: Right now we have five .
User Interface: But uh , you can make a f quite a big uh remote remote control for uh just the same price as a small one .
Project Manager: Yeah . That's no problem .
User Interface: Just uh you only have to pay for the double curved or single curved . It uh it's a bit uh {disfmarker}
Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah . It's uh it's more the moulds in which they are being made , I think . Single curved is really easy to just fill in .
Marketing: Mm .
Project Manager: And cases come right out of the machine .
User Interface: {gap} .
Project Manager: And single curved you have to have a different uh different machine , than a flat one . I think this is a really easy one . Um , what does everybody think about a flat or a single curved design ? Freek , what do you think ?
Marketing: Well , I still think we should go for the single curve design .
User Interface: {gap} .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: But then again , {gap} all these changes are not really okay with me .
Industrial Designer: Richard's argument was very good . Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yep .
Marketing: But since we just have to .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} We have to cut costs . {vocalsound}
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah I'm ag
Marketing: I'd rather just go to the board and get us to spend {vocalsound} eighteen dollars a a remote .
Project Manager: Ask for more money . Yeah . Yeah . I am agreeing with the usability . Yeah .
Marketing: Or do some market research and see what the options are .
Project Manager: Yeah . But th um I think we can then keep the single curved one . Just to express our L_C_D_ screen a bit more .
Industrial Designer: Yep .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: So people will use it more , and especially for the help functions ,
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: it will be good if we have scroll bar , scroll button . It will be necessary to have good help function , as well . So this is scroll . I think it was better to have this price list a bit earlier . {vocalsound} Before we went on to the to the whole design .
Marketing: Yes . Definitely . {vocalsound}
User Interface: The th
Project Manager: But {disfmarker} I'm glad we could make a bit .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: It's pretty different , if you saw the last one than {vocalsound} this one .
Marketing: {vocalsound} It's pretty different .
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Marketing: But this is not really like for the group we were making our remote .
User Interface: No .
Marketing: This will really require a lot of marketing to get this to sell .
Project Manager: Yeah . It will . Yeah .
User Interface: {vocalsound} But um {disfmarker}
Marketing: 'Cause if older people like familiar forms and familiar stuff . This is not familiar for them .
Project Manager: No , but I think {disfmarker}
Marketing: So we're gonna have to do a lotta convincing them .
Project Manager: I think the most {disfmarker}
User Interface: But they know the scroll-buttons from uh old radios . Uh they cal also uh buttons like that for uh changing uh channels .
Project Manager: That's right .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: We can let l
User Interface: So maybe it's uh {disfmarker}
Project Manager: We can stick it out , a bit . Like a old old buttons . {vocalsound}
User Interface: Yeah . Yeah .
Project Manager: Maybe that's recognisable for them as well . Yeah . That's a good one .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So , I'm afraid we have to move on . And it's uh it's b uh less frightening , I think . If they see this design they think oh , there are only five buttons , and uh {disfmarker} But we will see .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: That's true . Might uh {disfmarker} might be confusing too .
Project Manager: Yeah . That's definitely right .
User Interface: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: They'd be like , what ? Only five buttons ?
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: But very special , so uh {disfmarker}
Project Manager: I would buy it . {vocalsound}
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . But you're not sixty . {vocalsound}
Project Manager: That's right . I would buy it if I was six . {vocalsound} No I don't know . What it costs under twelve and a half Euros ? No ? Uh , yes they are .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
User Interface: No . {vocalsound}
Project Manager: No . But we can go on with the project evaluation .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Let's see . I can sit down I think . We still have fifteen minutes left , so we're nice on schedule .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Um , the project process .
Marketing: So um , I like set up all these criteria . And evaluation of the thingy . {vocalsound}
Project Manager: {vocalsound} Evaluation criteria . That's right . That was the the point I forgot . I should {disfmarker}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: There we are . Evaluation criteria . {vocalsound}
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Marketing: Thank you . {vocalsound}
Project Manager: Go ahead .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: We've got five minutes I think for those criteria .
Marketing: Five more minutes ?
Project Manager: No we've got fifteen minutes but {disfmarker}
Marketing: Okay .
Project Manager: Uh yes . What ?
Marketing: 'Kay so I did some literature study study , and analysis of the requirements we set up earlier .
Project Manager: Uh yeah .
Marketing: Translated it into criteria , which would be these . Um , is the remote fancy ? The shape , look and feel . Innovative ? What new functions are there ? Uh , easy to use ? Uh , learnability is a very important factor here . Uh , is it functional ? Are there not too many functions uh among the functions ? And are the those functions that are there , are they useful ? And the cost . The target group . Is the remote really for the group we're making it for ? And recognability . If our company is {disfmarker} If it is easily recognisable that our company made it ? And {disfmarker} So we're supposed to evaluate it right now .
Project Manager: Okay .
Marketing: Let's see . Oh I have to say this was a little hard , because the minutes of our last meeting were not here .
Project Manager: Yeah , that's because my pen failed to upload his data .
User Interface: Mm . Yeah ? {vocalsound}
Marketing: Okay .
Project Manager: {vocalsound} I tried to
Marketing: Interesting .
Project Manager: but it's uh it's giving errors by downloading the software .
Marketing: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
User Interface: Mm . 'Kay .
Marketing: Is the design fancy , on a scale of one to seven ?
Project Manager: I think it's fancy .
Industrial Designer: Six .
Project Manager: Yeah . Six .
User Interface: Uh six . Yeah .
Marketing: We all go for six ? Good . Um , is the design innovative ?
Project Manager: Very . {vocalsound}
User Interface: Mm . Sh
Marketing: I think so , with our L_C_D_ screen , docking station , scroll-buttons .
Project Manager: Subtitles , buttons . Yeah . Seven .
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Seven ?
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So we've got twenty cents for our docking station , huh ? {vocalsound}
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
User Interface: {vocalsound}
Marketing: {vocalsound} Should be do-able .
Project Manager: Yeah . That's right .
Marketing: Is the design easy to use ?
User Interface: Mm . Not really .
Project Manager: That's a bit dodgy .
Marketing: Well {disfmarker} Would be for us . But {disfmarker}
User Interface: For old people I I {disfmarker}
Project Manager: I would say four . Four or five between . Between four or five .
User Interface: W
Industrial Designer: Four or five . Yes .
User Interface: Yeah . Four .
Marketing: I'd go for four , too .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Is it functional ?
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: Is the design functional ? Um , do we have all functions that we want to include ?
Project Manager: Yes .
User Interface: N Yeah .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Marketing: I think we do . Do we have too many functions ?
Project Manager: No .
User Interface: No .
Industrial Designer: No .

User Interface: A flipper's uh easier , so {disfmarker} Yeah .
Project Manager: Faster as well , I think .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yes .
Project Manager: Yeah . Flip-over .
User Interface: But if you want to share uh of uh when you make um a picture like this uh on the presentation , it's easier to uh share it with uh other people . Uh so uh
Project Manager: Yeah .

Project Manager: Yeah . So {disfmarker} Yeah . So everybody puts his own score .

User Interface: Mm yeah .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: They are .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Considering we are not going to make a docking station .
Project Manager: Do we {disfmarker} Docking station . That's a good point .
User Interface: {gap} .
Project Manager: But maybe because of the docking station the price of the remote can also be a little bit higher ?
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: Uh and I think you can compensate that as well .
Industrial Designer: Perhaps .
User Interface: Mm .
Project Manager: So I think that shouldn't be the biggest problem , because it's very cheap to make as well .
Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Do we think we gonna get the twelve and a half million ?
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Or what was it ? {vocalsound}
Marketing: Fifty grand .

User Interface: Yeah . Mm .
Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah , still I think {disfmarker} I mean if we're n gonna make a scroll-button anyway it'd be more for the younger people than for the older people .
Project Manager: You can do more . Yeah .
User Interface: Ah .
Marketing: So maybe we should just re-focus .
Project Manager: Just put it on the market for everybody . You can you can change markets where by changing the front covers .
User Interface: Ah .
Marketing: Or specifically for younger people .
Project Manager: That's one thing you can change it with .
User Interface: Ah .
Marketing: That's true .
Project Manager: So you can also try to uh reach the younger people by uh putting fancy covers on on the market . Just as a test . See how it works . That's I think a good advantage .
Marketing: Yeah , I think then it would be way more uh popular with younger people than it is , than would be with older people . Even if it were their covers .
Project Manager: Yeah . Uh , uh then I think we can have our little celebration , right now .
User Interface: Hmm .
Marketing: But {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
User Interface: {gap} {vocalsound}
Project Manager: That's it . {vocalsound}
