Extracted Content: Irene Guthrie: So uh good morning.
  Maryann Berg: Morning.
  Mary Reyes: Morning.
  Bianca Higman: Morning.
  Irene Guthrie: I see you all find places. Is everybody
  Mary Reyes: Yep.
  Irene Guthrie: sitting on the right place? Yeah? I guess so. So Let's see. First I will introduce myself. I don't know if uh if everybody knows Mary Reyes, so I'm
  Mary Reyes: My
  Irene Guthrie: Bart,
  Mary Reyes: name's Frank.
  Irene Guthrie: hello. Hello.
  Maryann Berg: I'm.
  Irene Guthrie: Bart. Hello. Hello. Bart. Welcome.
  Mary Reyes: Thank you
  Irene Guthrie: Uh let's see. Uh let's start off um with a little presentation. Uh Now first I'll tell you a little bit about the setting. You can see are cameras here. They'll record uh our actions and you'll have wires and microphones that will record your voice. Uh there are also some microphones there but th um you don't have to pay a lot of attention on those, because it will uh disappear when you don't attend to it. So is there a project documents folder? There are some notes in it already I see, some documents. Uh I'll start with the presentation kick off. Is being modified by the administrator. Uh okay.
  Mary Reyes: Hmm,
  Irene Guthrie: Let's do it read
  Mary Reyes: that's
  Irene Guthrie: only.
  Mary Reyes: interesting.
  Irene Guthrie: Well I don't know if you've noticed, but uh we're working for Real Reaction. Uh it's a company in uh electronics. We put fashion in electronics, uh we make it work, uh we put a lot of effort in design and in the product itself. I'm Bart Irene Guthrie so I'll direct you through the project. This is our agenda. Uh we have our opening acquaintance, tool training, project plan description closing. Uh maybe I can sit down, then I can take some notes or Let's see. Maybe you can take the minutes once in a while.
  Mary Reyes: Sure.
  Irene Guthrie: I dunno it's not a lot of work, but just uh if you hear something uh you can write down, just write it down. Uh as you can see uh it's the opening, aquaintance tool training. Aquaintance is a point we've done a bit. Um have you all seen the corporate website already?
  Mary Reyes: Yep.
  Maryann Berg: Yep.
  Mary Reyes: Visit
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah.
  Mary Reyes: it.
  Irene Guthrie: Have you seen any flaws in it? I think I found one. No?
  Maryann Berg: Hmm?
  Mary Reyes: Can't say I paid much attention to it,
  Irene Guthrie: I can see if it works this way. No, it doesn't work here. Okay no problem. But um on the corporate information side there's a th uh there was Real Remote instead of Real Reaction.
  Mary Reyes: Oh yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: Real Remote is not really the company we're we are, but
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: it's just a little
  Maryann Berg: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: fault. Um okay, what are we going to do? Uh our project aim is as you can see a new remote control. It has to be original, trendy, and user friendly. So these are uh the points why uh we also hired you. We've
  Mary Reyes: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: got Mary Reyes for uh the trendy and user friendly look. And Industrial Designer uh there's also user friendly and a bit original. And we've got our User Interface Designer.
  Maryann Berg: Yep.
  Irene Guthrie: He's also uh That's about the new remote control. Uh project method um is uh there are three phases we are going through. First is functional des uh design, individual work, meetings. After the functional design, then the conceptual design and the detailed design. I had some role indications on here. But I think you know it already by yourself. Bianca Higman is going to work on the working design, uh components design and a bit of the look and feel design. Uh Maryann Berg is going to do the technical function design, user interface concept and user interface design. And Mary Reyes is doing a little bit of user requirement specification, trend watching and project uh product ev evaluation. So that's a bit what you're going to do. But that will be all worked out in uh other meetings. Then we've got our first tool training. We are going to work with a lot of high-tech tools here, so it's ab it's handy if we have a little bit of training first. As you can see we've got the smart boards here and here in the white board. Um in the white board here there's a little tool bar on this side. Here are some functions. You can save. N uh these functions we don't have anything to do with, only undo, you can undo a little uh piece of drawing. A blank new document for each person. Uh select a pen, eraser. Capture we don't have to do anything with. Uh then we've got our pen. This pen. It's really
  Mary Reyes: 'Kay.
  Irene Guthrie: funny because you can draw with it on this page um in the think it is form of. You can also select the current colour and the line width.
  Maryann Berg: Hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: But then first you have to select the pen function. But we're going to work with it in a minute. So okay. Uh that's very simple and it's easy to uh draw your findings and drawings on there. Uh then a short thing about documents. We've got our shared folder, project project what was it? Project documents I think. But all you will found that already because there are a lot of documents in it already, so it will be okay. And these are available on the smart boards as well,
  Maryann Berg: Okay. Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: Here is a simple tool bar. It's what I just said, it's save, print, move back or forward one page. You can switch between the different drawings. And then we're going to try out the white board. So as you can see we g all going to draw a animal. Just to uh uh just to get a bit familiar with it. Mouse wasn't running away.
  Mary Reyes: That was interesting.
  Irene Guthrie: Is everybody is anybody playing with the mouse? No. Okay.
  Mary Reyes: Innocent.
  Irene Guthrie: We're going to uh draw animal. And uh just sum up a few of its favourite characteristics. Um the only thing we have to uh look after is that we use different colours, and different line width. Uh there's I can start from now. I will. You can use this pen by holding it like a like a little child. Because if you hold it like this, the sensors will get blocked and then the
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Mary Reyes: 'Kay.
  Irene Guthrie: drawing won't get good. Another thing is you have to be uh a bit slow. 'Cause if you're going to draw like really fast then um the pen won't hold up. So we choose form of current colour uh I think grey is appropriate. Then the line width. I think seven will be nice. Now you'll see my drawing capabilities. These are not very much, but uh Uh, see you have to do it real slow.
  Irene Guthrie: Oh
  Maryann Berg: Sure.
  Irene Guthrie: Ah I was trying to draw a dolphin, but I think his nose has to be a little bit But it's close.
  Mary Reyes: I'm thinking about a swordfish.
  Irene Guthrie: So what
  Maryann Berg: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: yeah it's
  Maryann Berg: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: this is bit of the swordfish. Yeah, he hasn't got an eye.
  Bianca Higman: Mm-hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: Woah. Now we've got another function. We've got the eraser. And then you can undo this easily.
  Mary Reyes: Meat.
  Irene Guthrie: Ah it's okay. And I've got to write down a few of its characteristics. Uh is They've got no text tool, no. Uh.
  Irene Guthrie: Okay. This is typically a undo action, I think.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: Pen. Maybe you have to hold it a bit upside-down. I think that's it because if you wan ar are going to do it like this then it will be a stripe. But I don't know, I'm just trying. This is not my work, okay.
  Mary Reyes: Hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: Maybe you have to use
  Irene Guthrie: Oh.
  Irene Guthrie: Uh. I think it's a it wants to draw a another animal? I don't know. It lives for the fun. So It's my characteristic uh characteristic about the dolphin. It lives for the fun.
  Mary Reyes: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: So
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: now I'm gonna hand over the pen on the new blank sheet to you. Go
  Mary Reyes: Thank
  Irene Guthrie: ahead.
  Mary Reyes: you. Okay. Gonna use a different line width.
  Mary Reyes: There. 'Kay, I'm not much of an artist, but here we go.
  Irene Guthrie: Maybe it's easier to draw the smaller line width, I think.
  Maryann Berg: Hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: Because this is going a lot better than uh I did.
  Maryann Berg: A sheep.
  Mary Reyes: Mm.
  Mary Reyes: Okay. This is my um Hmm. Sheep.
  Irene Guthrie: It's nice.
  Mary Reyes: With of course
  Mary Reyes: little
  Irene Guthrie: Uh.
  Mary Reyes: blue dot they always get sprayed on their butts.
  Irene Guthrie: It's
  Mary Reyes: There.
  Irene Guthrie: a real dead sheep, yeah.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: For recognition, yeah, I see. Um maybe you can
  Mary Reyes: 'Kay.
  Irene Guthrie: also write your name somewhere. On just a
  Mary Reyes: They are Come on.
  Mary Reyes: You have to go really slow when you're writing.
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah.
  Mary Reyes: They're brilliant animal animals. And that's just a little Mary Reyes thingy. So. Guess I'll pass the pen to our
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: Nice.
  Mary Reyes: User Interface Designer.
  Maryann Berg: Um I'm just gonna draw its uh head, but mm Let's see. Mm.
  Maryann Berg: Uh.
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Mary Reyes: Interesting.
  Irene Guthrie: Sweet.
  Maryann Berg: Yeah. You know what that is? Or who?
  Mary Reyes: A rabbit?
  Bianca Higman: Garfield.
  Maryann Berg: Ah okay,
  Mary Reyes: Garfield.
  Maryann Berg: yeah.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Maryann Berg: Just a
  Maryann Berg: So uh Yeah. That's enough. Um, you say a blank, or
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah, just a blank
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: sheet.
  Bianca Higman: Well I was gonna draw a cat too, so. I'll just try something else.
  Irene Guthrie: No.
  Bianca Higman: Something different than Garfield.
  Bianca Higman: Mine is a bit more skinny.
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah, it's
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: pretty skinny cat.
  Bianca Higman: But uh
  Mary Reyes: And the most interesting tail.
  Irene Guthrie: Is your cat, or did you find him on the street?
  Bianca Higman: Well, it's supposed to be a cat. I like cats because uh they are uh independent.
  Irene Guthrie: Ah.
  Bianca Higman: The pen. So.
  Irene Guthrie: Okay. That's pretty clear. So everybody knows how to work with the white board now? So
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: if you have any ideas or if you wanna
  Bianca Higman: The
  Irene Guthrie: draw
  Bianca Higman: pen.
  Irene Guthrie: anything on the white board, just ask and go ahead. It's pretty uh easy. 'Kay. S
  Mary Reyes: We're being haunted.
  Irene Guthrie: haunted white board. So we've got the tool uh introduction. We move along to the project finance. Um as you can see, we um for our remote control, a selling price is uh twenty five Euros. Our selling price. Uh our profit aim is fifty million Euros. Uh that's the least we have to get from our remote controls, so we have to work together to reach our aims. Uh we can do it international, so we have to focus on different kind of users, different kind of cultures, and different kind of trends as well. Um but that's all in the later stadium. Our production cost um can be maximal twelve and a half Euros, so that's also a point we have to keep in mind, that we won't make remote controls with small televisions inside, and stuff like that. It won't work. So just try to remember these points. Selling price twenty five, profit aims fifty million um, but more important is the int international market we're trying to focus on. And production cost uh maximal twelve and a half Euros. So that's leads us to our little discussion. We've got about five or ten minutes left for discussion. So I'm gonna sit down, I think. It's easier.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah, you got a message.
  Irene Guthrie: I've got a message. Five minutes.
  Maryann Berg: Five
  Irene Guthrie: Okay,
  Maryann Berg: minutes, okay.
  Irene Guthrie: that's uh good timing.
  Mary Reyes: So just on a side note, why is it my laptop is only giving Mary Reyes a black screen?
  Maryann Berg: Mm?
  Irene Guthrie: Uh maybe you have to say the magic word.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah. Right.
  Irene Guthrie: Does it do anything?
  Mary Reyes: No.
  Irene Guthrie: Maybe you have to just clap it down? Mm back up again. No slide show. Hmm.
  Mary Reyes: It's off now.
  Irene Guthrie: It's off. Now you have to put it back o Oh yeah. You'll be okay, I think.
  Mary Reyes: Well, it was on, but
  Irene Guthrie: Well it's those laptops.
  Mary Reyes: Ah, there we are.
  Irene Guthrie: Nice. Okay. But so mm does everybody has um experiences with uh remote controls, and I mean not the ordinary mote controls, but also a little bit different ones?
  Maryann Berg: Mm.
  Irene Guthrie: Like you can use for other?
  Maryann Berg: Oh really?
  Irene Guthrie: No?
  Maryann Berg: Huh.
  Irene Guthrie: You?
  Mary Reyes: Well, we
  Bianca Higman: No,
  Maryann Berg: It's
  Mary Reyes: have
  Bianca Higman: Mary Reyes
  Mary Reyes: a
  Bianca Higman: neither.
  Maryann Berg: a
  Mary Reyes: kind of broad T_V_ at home, and a D_V_D_ player, so we got like a lot of remote controls, one for the T_V_, one for the video recorder, one for the D_V_D_ player.
  Irene Guthrie: Ah yeah.
  Mary Reyes: And I think it's it would be best to just make one remote control that can operate them all.
  Irene Guthrie: Yep.
  Maryann Berg: Sure.
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah I've
  Maryann Berg: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: I've got one at home. And you can uh program I think eight different devices in it, and you can use it for your television,
  Maryann Berg: Okay, yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: anything else.
  Maryann Berg: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: And it also operates on infra-red, so you have to got the little device inside your room, and then you can operate it from the third or th or
  Maryann Berg: Okay,
  Irene Guthrie: second
  Maryann Berg: yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: floor.
  Mary Reyes: Oh really.
  Irene Guthrie: So
  Maryann Berg: Hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: that's pretty handy when you have a video recorder or D_V_D_ player downstairs and
  Maryann Berg: Oh.
  Irene Guthrie: you've got a link to your T_V_ on the second floor.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Maryann Berg: Mm-hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: So that's a pretty handy um thing. Um but only the I think that if you can put different kind of devices in one remote control, it makes it a lot easier as well. It's
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: uh
  Maryann Berg: Oh.
  Irene Guthrie: That's good to remember.
  Mary Reyes: So I think you can take minutes again.
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah, that's nice, I think.
  Mary Reyes: Since it's your job.
  Irene Guthrie: So we've we want different functions
  Mary Reyes: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: uh and we can maybe see if we can do something with the infra-red. But I don't know if that will exceed the production costs. So that
  Maryann Berg: Mm.
  Irene Guthrie: uh that's something we have to find out, I think.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah. But that would be really good if we could do that.
  Irene Guthrie: And other functions for a remote control? Maybe we can make
  Mary Reyes: Um.
  Irene Guthrie: it
  Maryann Berg: Mm-hmm.
  Irene Guthrie: uh uh
  Mary Reyes: Think it has to be shock proof
  Maryann Berg: Sure, yeah.
  Mary Reyes: 'cause
  Irene Guthrie: Shock proof.
  Mary Reyes: my remote control tends to
  Maryann Berg: Waterproof,
  Mary Reyes: fall a lot.
  Maryann Berg: or uh
  Mary Reyes: So
  Maryann Berg: Uh,
  Irene Guthrie: Sure.
  Maryann Berg: you never no know uh, I w I mean uh
  Irene Guthrie: Waterproof. Okay. So these are our um a few things we can think of. Um I will put the minutes from this meeting uh in our project folder.
  Maryann Berg: 'Kay.
  Mary Reyes: Yeah, one other little thing. Thought it might be handy to put a battery status display on it. So
  Irene Guthrie: That's
  Mary Reyes: you can
  Irene Guthrie: a
  Mary Reyes: see
  Irene Guthrie: battery stays.
  Maryann Berg: Okay, yeah.
  Mary Reyes: how much is left in the battery. But they'll also really drag up the production costs, so
  Irene Guthrie: Yeah.
  Mary Reyes: think we'll have to see about that too.
  Maryann Berg: Mm.
  Irene Guthrie: Uh.
  Mary Reyes: But maybe just a little LED, I don't know.
  Irene Guthrie: That's an idea as well. Other ideas? Quick ideas.
  Bianca Higman: Nope. They were all
  Maryann Berg: Mm.
  Bianca Higman: mentioned, so
  Irene Guthrie: Okay.
  Maryann Berg: Yeah.
  Irene Guthrie: Any questions about this uh presentation? Kick off presentation.
  Mary Reyes: Um. Nope, don't think so.
  Irene Guthrie: No? Okay, then I'll put the minutes from this meeting in the project folder, and then we can all work. Finish meeting now.
  Mary Reyes: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: Okay. And
  Mary Reyes: Aye
  Irene Guthrie: we
  Mary Reyes: sir.
  Irene Guthrie: can all work uh on our own projects.
  Irene Guthrie: Okay then I'll meet you in about a
  Mary Reyes: Half an
  Irene Guthrie: half
  Mary Reyes: hour.
  Irene Guthrie: an hour, I think.
  Bianca Higman: Okay.
  Maryann Berg: Okay.
  Mary Reyes: Okay.
  Irene Guthrie: So good luck.
  Maryann Berg: Yep.
