Extracted Content: Amber Christensen: Okay. Uh good afternoon.
  Gloria Snyder: Good afternoon.
  Amber Christensen: This is our third meeting already. I hope you enjoyed your lunch. I did anyway. Um let's see. Presentation three. Okay this is um the second phase uh we're going to discuss today. It's the conceptual design meeting. And a few points of interest in this meeting um are the conceptual specification of components. Uh conceptual specification of design. And also trend-watching. Um these are hopefully the points you addressed in uh your pre uh presentations going show Gloria Snyder in a few minutes. Um but first I'll show you the agenda. Uh first the opening. Then we have three presentations. Uh after that we have to come to a decision on remote control concepts. How we're going to make it. And then we're closing. We have about forty minutes. Uh so I suggest let's get started. Uh did someone encounter any problems during the preparation? No?
  Nellie Myers: No.
  Amber Christensen: Everything fine? That's nice. Then a little uh thing about the last meeting. Uh these are the points um we agreed on. The requirements and the target market. Uh requirements are uh teletext, docking station, audio signal, small screen, with some extras that uh button information. And we are going to use default materials. Um does somebody have any comments on these requirements? Maybe? No? These are just the the things we thought of, so maybe if you figured something else or thought of something else, just let Gloria Snyder know. And maybe we can uh work it out. And we're going to target uh sixty to to eighty year old customers. So now everybody knows what we're do we're doing, um I suggest let's get started with the presentations. So shall we keep the same uh line-up as uh last time?
  Gloria Snyder: Sure.
  Amber Christensen: Okay.
  Gloria Snyder: I'll start off then.
  Amber Christensen: Good luck.
  Gloria Snyder: Doh.
  Gloria Snyder: 'Kay I'm uh gonna inform you about the trend-watching I've done over the past few days. Um we've done some market research. We distributed some more enquetes, questionnaires. And um besides that um I deployed some trend-watchers to Milan and Paris to well get all of the newest trends. And I've consulted some additional trend-watch trend-watchers, after the original trend-watchers return, about what the the best design would be. Um okay these are some overall findings. Um most important thing is the fancy design. Um the research indicated that that was by far the most important factor. Um innovativeness was about half as important as the fancy design. By innovativeness this means um functions which are not featured in other remote controls. Um about half of, half as important as the innovativeness was the was easy to use. Um for our um group, we're focusing on the people of sixty to eighty y years old, this is um, these factors are slightly more equal. 'Kay these are some more group specific findings. Uh the older people prefer dark colours. Uh they like recognisable shapes, and familiar material. And our surveys have indicated that especially wood is pretty much the material for older people. Um this is, this image will give you a little bit of an impression about um the look-and-feel that um the remote should have. Um this leads us to some personal preferences. Uh the remote control and the docking station should uh blend in in the in the room. Um so this would mean no uh eye-catching designs. Just keep it simple and Well the docking station and small screen would be our main points of interest, because this would be the These would uh be the innovativeness in the remote control. So this would be very important that we at least include these features. Um well the trend-watchers I consulted advised that it b should be, the remote control and the docking station should be telephone-shaped. So you could imagine that uh the remote control will be standing up straight in the docking station. This is not really This is pretty much a new shape to uh older people. So they would prefer uh a design where the remote control just lies flat in the docking station. So it would be kinda more telephone-shaped. Um besides that we would advise um to bring two editions, one with a wood-like colour and maybe feel, and one with a grey-black colour. The wood-like for the more uh exclusive people. People with more money. Uh the grey-black colour for well people with less means. That would be all.
  Amber Christensen: Okay. Thank you. Any questions about the
  Gloria Snyder: Any
  Amber Christensen: the trends?
  Gloria Snyder: questions?
  Amber Christensen: Mayb
  Nellie Myers: Mm no.
  Amber Christensen: No? Okay, we go on to the next one.
  Nellie Myers: Um 'kay um. uh some uh research uh a about um designing of an interface. Um the uh last meeting uh we had a about um uh using a f few buttons. So uh um uh that's w what I what I want to uh uh to do in uh our design. So um finding an attractive uh way to control uh the remote control. Um the uh I found some uh something about uh speech uh recognition. So maybe uh we uh uh that. Uh and uh using a little uh display. So um findings. Um yeah just um we have just to focus on the primary um functions. So uh only uh buttons uh for uh sound, um for uh on-off, um uh shifting u up uh sa uh ca channel or uh down shifting down. Um uh let's see. Um yeah and Uh we uh need some uh new a attractive functions uh uh which attract uh uh people for using it. So uh it's uh like a speak uh speech uh recognition and um a special button for selecting uh subtitles. Just uh what we uh mentioned uh last uh meeting. Um and yeah overall um user-friendly. So uh using uh large large buttons. Um It's uh possible to uh uh to make um quite cheap uh system for uh speech uh recognition. Um you can think about um uh when you lost your um remote control, you can uh call it and um it gives an um sig signal. So uh uh yeah. And and uh for uh shifting up a sen uh c ch channel or uh for um uh putting out uh sound or something, you can uh just give a sign uh say um sound off or A and uh yeah. Television uh put the sound off uh put the sound off uh. Um Let's see. Uh yeah. I was thinking about the special uh button for uh subtitles, um just one button to keep it uh simple. Uh one push on the button uh you get uh uh small uh subtitles. Um double push push um, if double click, um so uh you get uh big uh subtitles, for uh people uh um uh which c f uh who can't uh read small uh subtitles. So uh Um Yeah and w we have to keep uh in general buttons uh so um we've got um the buttons we have to use. The on-off, sound on-off, sound higher or lower, um the numbers, uh zero to uh uh nine. Um the general buttons m more general b one button for shifting up and shifting down uh channel. Um also we want to uh use a little d display uh for um for displaying the uh the functions of the buttons. And um we can uh build in a function f which uh shows the channel or some uh which the t television is on. So um made a little uh picture of uh it. Um See. Um yeah. Just um we can put uh the on-off button uh over in this uh corner, um almost uh e all uh remote controls uh are using a on-off button on that place. Um so uh people uh will uh recognise uh um the button. So um D display uh of it, it's uh just a small display. Uh um you can put it uh on top. Um it's uh most uh uh place where people uh, most of looks at. So uh um and a special uh button for shifting up uh and uh shifting down uh channel, um it's uh on place where um the thumb of of the So you you can uh easily uh shift up or shift down. Um it's uh quite uh handy place. So um and uh all the f functions for subtitle uh one button, uh for sound uh Uh and uh for our design, um uh we have to discuss about it uh I think uh so uh the form of it so
  Amber Christensen: Okay.
  Nellie Myers: And that's it.
  Amber Christensen: Uh thank you.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Okay. About the components design. Um for the energy source we can use a basic battery or, a as an optional thing, a kinetic energy, like in a watch, which you just shake and it produces energy. But if we choose for that option, the docking station would c become obsolete. So I don't think it's really an option. Uh for the casing, uh the uh manufacturing department can deliver uh a flat casing, single or double curved casing. we're gonna use. It's uh doesn't uh imply any technical restrictions. Uh as a case supplement, we could um, I thought of that l later, uh a rubber uh belt, like a anti-slip. Uh for the b buttons, we can use plastic or rubber. And the chip-set, um it says simple here, but it should be advanced, because we're using an L_C_D_ uh screen. And as uh the trend-watcher presentation showed, um people like wood, but it raises the price and it doesn't really fit the image, unless we would start two product lines. Form should follow function overall. Um well the kinetic energy source is rather fancy. But depends on what we want. I think we should disc discuss that. Um for the case, uh the supplement and the buttons, it really depends on the designer. And the chip-set uh really should be advanced because otherwise uh it would really be a simple uh remote control. And that's it.
  Amber Christensen: Okay. Thank you. So that brings us to the discussion about our concepts. Mm. 'Kay.
  Amber Christensen: So these are the points we have to discuss. Um first I think we can talk about the energy source, since that's um has a pretty big influence on production price, uh and image. Uh so uh f I think first of all we have to see uh it is possible to introduce kinetic energy
  Dorothy Vangundy: Yes
  Amber Christensen: in our
  Dorothy Vangundy: w
  Amber Christensen: budget,
  Dorothy Vangundy: there
  Amber Christensen: I think.
  Dorothy Vangundy: there are four options. We could use the basic normal battery.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Uh a hand dynamo. But I don't think that's really an option.
  Amber Christensen: Okay.
  Dorothy Vangundy: You don't wanna swing before you can watch television.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Uh solar cells. But not every room is very
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Dorothy Vangundy: light so it's
  Amber Christensen: No.
  Dorothy Vangundy: not a very good option. Or the kinetic energy.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah. Okay.
  Gloria Snyder: And how exactly does the kinetic energy work?
  Dorothy Vangundy: Well
  Gloria Snyder: You
  Dorothy Vangundy: y
  Gloria Snyder: just
  Dorothy Vangundy: you basically shake your
  Gloria Snyder: You
  Dorothy Vangundy: remote,
  Gloria Snyder: use it and
  Dorothy Vangundy: and
  Gloria Snyder: it
  Dorothy Vangundy: then it
  Gloria Snyder: works.
  Dorothy Vangundy: powers up. Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Okay.
  Nellie Myers: Nah.
  Gloria Snyder: Well personally I don't think that older people like to shake their remote control before they use it.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Yeah. That's true.
  Gloria Snyder: And besides that you mentioned it would make the docking station obsolete.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Oh.
  Gloria Snyder: And I think our docking station could be one of the marketing issues with which we can um get great popularity for our product.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: But
  Gloria Snyder: Um
  Nellie Myers: what's
  Gloria Snyder: wel
  Nellie Myers: the function? Yeah f for loading up uh the batteries.
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah you could load
  Nellie Myers: B
  Gloria Snyder: up the
  Nellie Myers: b
  Gloria Snyder: batteries, you could um insert the find the lost remote control function in there.
  Nellie Myers: Okay but uh it won't use uh much e energy uh I I believe. Uh it's uh just a small display so I believe uh it will run on one battery for um six months or f or or more. So
  Amber Christensen: Uh
  Nellie Myers: I believe one battery uh is just enough. Uh so
  Amber Christensen: Uh well I think
  Gloria Snyder: That's true.
  Amber Christensen: uh elderly people just like to have everything in place. And I don't think they they like uh remotes just laying everywhere in their rooms.
  Nellie Myers: Okay.
  Amber Christensen: So maybe a docking station will help them give the remote
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: a
  Nellie Myers: That's
  Amber Christensen: place.
  Nellie Myers: true. Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: And also what you said. Um you can introduce voice recognition by uh finding back
  Nellie Myers: Mm-hmm.
  Amber Christensen: your remote.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: But I think it's um more efficient and cheaper to put it in the docking station. So you have a but button on your docking station which you can push, and then it starts beeping.
  Nellie Myers: Okay.
  Amber Christensen: And then we can we can still use
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: the voice recognition, but maybe then for only the the channels.
  Nellie Myers: Uh.
  Amber Christensen: That's
  Gloria Snyder: I'm wondering
  Amber Christensen: safe.
  Gloria Snyder: um what will the voice recognition mean for the production price?
  Amber Christensen: Yeah. That's a good
  Dorothy Vangundy: Mm
  Amber Christensen: point.
  Dorothy Vangundy: I don't have any information on pricing. So I'll have to ask the manufacturing department.
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Gloria Snyder: 'Cause in our earlier um market research, if you'd allow Gloria Snyder to
  Amber Christensen: Yeah,
  Gloria Snyder: go
  Amber Christensen: sure.
  Gloria Snyder: to the flat board,
  Amber Christensen: Go
  Gloria Snyder: SMARTboard.
  Amber Christensen: ahead.
  Gloria Snyder: Um so it was open here. Um we also um asked if w they would, if people would pay more for speech recognition in a remote control. Well you can see here, our target group would not do that.
  Amber Christensen: No.
  Gloria Snyder: So if that would increase the price for which we're selling our remote control
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Gloria Snyder: I would greatly advise not to do it.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: I think that would be better to uh insert in our other product, that is meant for the
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: younger people.
  Dorothy Vangundy: But that
  Nellie Myers: 'Kay.
  Dorothy Vangundy: would also go for the L_C_D_ screen then I guess. It's a bit higher percentage, but
  Gloria Snyder: Um well this is Yeah but this is here the question was, would you prefer it. So that doesn't really mean they wouldn't pay extra for it. And on top of that the L_C_D_ screen would um help in making the remote control easier to use.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: And
  Dorothy Vangundy: Okay.
  Gloria Snyder: I think a voice recognition function would not make the remote control much
  Amber Christensen: Easier
  Gloria Snyder: easier
  Amber Christensen: to
  Gloria Snyder: to use.
  Amber Christensen: use? No, I think that's a good point.
  Nellie Myers: But uh is uh our uh research um about um bi large uh L_C_D_ sh uh display, or uh just a small one uh we want to uh use?
  Gloria Snyder: Um well this was for like an L_C_D_ screen like you would have on a on the the most advanced mobile phones.
  Nellie Myers: Okay.
  Gloria Snyder: So pretty large.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah. I personally think the L_C_D_ screen we wanna use, with the extra information, I think nobody has anything against it. Because
  Nellie Myers: No.
  Amber Christensen: it's just uh some extra information, and it's easy to ignore as well.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: So if you don't wanna use it you just don't use it. And um yeah I think the um Maybe we have to uh discard the voice recognition. Because it will increase cost uh signifi uh significantly. And I don't think the I don't think it will be a lot easier to use, as well.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: So that brings us back to the energy. If we don't have the voice recognition, it will it won't use a lot of energy to use.
  Nellie Myers: Mm-hmm.
  Amber Christensen: Um So in that case we could use kinetic uh energy, but I think just a simple battery which you can reload on a docking station is just as good. And much cheaper as well.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: So
  Dorothy Vangundy: And that's the best choice.
  Amber Christensen: Okay let Gloria Snyder just choose for the battery. That brings us to the chip.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Well there isn't any choice there because
  Amber Christensen: Just
  Dorothy Vangundy: we're using
  Amber Christensen: the advanced.
  Dorothy Vangundy: the the the the display. So it's gotta be advanced.
  Amber Christensen: Okay,
  Gloria Snyder: 'Kay.
  Amber Christensen: advanced chip. And then we get to the point of the case. Um which brings us a little bit back to marketing as well. Uh if we wanna choose for wood or the black and grey. Or both? Um as we saw there is not Yeah wood is a lot more expensive to produce.
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Amber Christensen: Um but I think it will attract elderly people who wanna have something exclusive, which they can show off to their
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Amber Christensen: grandkids. Look I've got a new remote
  Gloria Snyder: Well
  Amber Christensen: control,
  Nellie Myers: Uh
  Amber Christensen: and uh
  Nellie Myers: I
  Gloria Snyder: And
  Nellie Myers: dunno.
  Gloria Snyder: I think most important factor there is the wooden colour. So it wouldn't actually have to be wood,
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: if it's just
  Amber Christensen: That's right.
  Gloria Snyder: wood-coloured.
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Amber Christensen: But with colour was a lot more expensive? Or?
  Dorothy Vangundy: Mm I dunno.
  Amber Christensen: You don't know?
  Dorothy Vangundy: I'll have to uh
  Amber Christensen: I think
  Dorothy Vangundy: research.
  Amber Christensen: so because Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Probably.
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Amber Christensen: It's a lot more difficult to to handle and to to get in the right shape.
  Nellie Myers: Uh is it possible uh to make um changeable uh case. So um uh you 'cause uh Yeah with uh mobile phones uh uh so uh like the Nokia
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: mobile phones, uh when you can change the case of it.
  Amber Christensen: Change
  Nellie Myers: So
  Amber Christensen: the cases. Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: maybe it's possible uh possibility. So um um you have just to make one um standard um remote control,
  Amber Christensen: You can sell the cases.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah I. think that's a very good option. Because um then you can advertise as well with the Give your grandfather a new case
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: for his remote control, or whatever. Because that's a it's something extra, it's something other remotes don't have,
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: which we can
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah
  Amber Christensen: get a great
  Gloria Snyder: that
  Amber Christensen: advantage
  Gloria Snyder: is true.
  Amber Christensen: point. So and then you can make them with colour. Black and grey, other colours
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: as well.
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah. We would have to look carefully into the design
  Amber Christensen: Costs.
  Gloria Snyder: though. 'Cause we would have to make one w uh control which would fit in with a wooden cover and a plastic cover.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: The more original one, or the more standard one.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: So that would
  Amber Christensen: So you suggest we should design two different telephones on
  Gloria Snyder: Well
  Amber Christensen: which
  Gloria Snyder: I wouldn't
  Amber Christensen: you can
  Gloria Snyder: design
  Amber Christensen: apply,
  Gloria Snyder: a telephone but
  Amber Christensen: yeah remote controls, on which you can apply different case covers,
  Gloria Snyder: Well no I
  Amber Christensen: for
  Gloria Snyder: think
  Amber Christensen: example.
  Gloria Snyder: w we should just, we should then just design one um
  Amber Christensen: Remote.
  Gloria Snyder: one remote, but it would have to be fancy with either the wood cover or the
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: plastic one.
  Amber Christensen: Okay.
  Gloria Snyder: So, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
  Amber Christensen: So everybody's okay with the changing covers?
  Dorothy Vangundy: Yes.
  Amber Christensen: I
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: think that's a good uh good option. Changing case covers.
  Gloria Snyder: Um I heard our Industrial Designer talk about uh flat, single and double curved.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Yes.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: explain that a little more?
  Dorothy Vangundy: Well the the general like most older remotes are flat, just straight.
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Dorothy Vangundy: And uh our d manufacturing department can also deliver single curved or double curved ca curved cases.
  Gloria Snyder: And what would single curved and double curved mean?
  Dorothy Vangundy: Um it would just only affect the form, for as far as I know. So it's j really just up to the design department what we're gonna use.
  Gloria Snyder: Okay.
  Dorothy Vangundy: It doesn't really matter for the price or the functionality.
  Gloria Snyder: So we can pretty much just
  Dorothy Vangundy: Pick one
  Gloria Snyder: do whatever
  Dorothy Vangundy: you like,
  Gloria Snyder: we want.
  Dorothy Vangundy: yes.
  Amber Christensen: Mm.
  Gloria Snyder: 'Kay.
  Amber Christensen: Okay.
  Gloria Snyder: That's good.
  Amber Christensen: Uh but the form has to be um It has to It's has to be possible to stand up? Or just only to
  Gloria Snyder: No
  Amber Christensen: lie down?
  Gloria Snyder: just to lie down.
  Nellie Myers: okay.
  Amber Christensen: And the the
  Gloria Snyder: We'll
  Amber Christensen: cover
  Gloria Snyder: go for that.
  Amber Christensen: of the the docking station is also on top of the television then? Or not?
  Gloria Snyder: Well or besides it.
  Amber Christensen: And you can just yeah then click it in. That's okay. Um so the interface. What type of interface do we want to use? Um maybe you can make a little drawing of it on the
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Amber Christensen: on the the board.
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Amber Christensen: Does somebody have ideas for a form or
  Nellie Myers: Uh we can just use the regular form of it, but it's um not quite uh fancy. So um Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Um you uh said you wanted to put the um changing channels button on the right side, so you could,
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: so your thumb would be easily
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Well uh I think that was a very good point 'cause I pointed out earlier that a lot of remotes cause R_S_I_. So that would be great for that. Um I thought maybe we could just make one of those buttons on both the left and the right side.
  Nellie Myers: For
  Gloria Snyder: For
  Nellie Myers: uh
  Gloria Snyder: left-handed users
  Nellie Myers: Uh for Yeah yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: also.
  Amber Christensen: Yep.
  Nellie Myers: Mm. Yeah we um Is it possible to um program it s so uh you got on the left side uh or on the right side uh buttons for for shifting u up and shifting up? And on the uh other uh uh o other side uh buttons for uh shifting, uh for for the sound?
  Gloria Snyder: For the
  Nellie Myers: Or
  Gloria Snyder: volume.
  Nellie Myers: Or isn't
  Gloria Snyder: Um
  Nellie Myers: it?
  Amber Christensen: Mm.
  Gloria Snyder: well that could Yeah we could do that but I'm not sure if that would be very good for the easy, ease of
  Amber Christensen: Usabili
  Gloria Snyder: use.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah
  Nellie Myers: Yeah
  Amber Christensen: ease
  Nellie Myers: okay.
  Amber Christensen: of use will be a lot more difficult, and then it's
  Nellie Myers: Uh.
  Gloria Snyder: But if we would make um a changing channels and changing volume button on both sides, that would certainly yield great options for the design of the remote.
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Gloria Snyder: 'Cause it could be made all symmetrical and stuff.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah but
  Amber Christensen: But you have extra buttons.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: So people can get confused.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: That is true.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Especially if they have the same writings on it.
  Nellie Myers: See um yeah. Or we have to make a left uh
  Amber Christensen: Can't
  Nellie Myers: For
  Amber Christensen: we make
  Nellie Myers: lefties
  Amber Christensen: uh
  Nellie Myers: and
  Amber Christensen: Can't we make a remote which you can flip over and use on the same
  Nellie Myers: Um
  Amber Christensen: functions as the normal one?
  Nellie Myers: You mean um
  Amber Christensen: Then you have
  Nellie Myers: Yeah
  Amber Christensen: to
  Nellie Myers: if
  Amber Christensen: Let's see if I ca A blank one. And then you get
  Amber Christensen: Here's a little L_C_D_ screen. Uh now I have to think.
  Amber Christensen: It's a plus and a min. No it's not very handy I think.
  Nellie Myers: Mm
  Amber Christensen: Because
  Nellie Myers: no.
  Amber Christensen: the plus and the min will be opposite and
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: all kinds of No that's not gonna work. I guess. Maybe
  Nellie Myers: Um
  Amber Christensen: we should Yeah. But is it a problem that left-handed persons use a different hand? I think the functions are that basic that nobody should have any problems with uh
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: choosing a channel
  Gloria Snyder: That is
  Amber Christensen: or
  Gloria Snyder: true.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah. It's just uh u using uh your thumb.
  Amber Christensen: Y
  Nellie Myers: So
  Amber Christensen: yeah.
  Nellie Myers: um
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: it's
  Amber Christensen: I think we could just uh leave it a normal shape.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Uh but maybe we have to make it a l a bit more fancy. In one or ano another way.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah. Um
  Dorothy Vangundy: I think we should start by by choosing a case. Because that's the basis
  Nellie Myers: Yeah
  Dorothy Vangundy: you're building on.
  Nellie Myers: yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: Um
  Dorothy Vangundy: So I could
  Amber Christensen: yeah
  Dorothy Vangundy: draw
  Amber Christensen: just
  Dorothy Vangundy: them out. Let's look at the flat case. Oh. It's from the side so it's
  Nellie Myers: Mm-hmm.
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Dorothy Vangundy: rather normal.
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Dorothy Vangundy: The the single curved so I'm not really sure what they're gonna look like, but I think it's something like this.
  Dorothy Vangundy: So this type should be better for you or better Should prevent
  Amber Christensen: Easier?
  Dorothy Vangundy: repetitive strain injury a bit. And the double curved s looks something like this I guess.
  Nellie Myers: Mm.
  Dorothy Vangundy: So th those are the three options we have.
  Amber Christensen: 'Kay.
  Gloria Snyder: Mm.
  Amber Christensen: I suggest um the single curved, because maybe the curve is pretty good to put the the screen in. Uh so that elderly people can uh use the remote control and at the same time look easily at the screen, because it's a bit,
  Nellie Myers: So um
  Amber Christensen: it has a bit of a angle.
  Nellie Myers: Do you say this um S uh Uh you got like uh sort of a I believe There?
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Nellie Myers: So um you want to put a display over here? Or not?
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: I think so. Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: Um Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: But
  Nellie Myers: Uh
  Amber Christensen: now it's
  Nellie Myers: we can make it
  Amber Christensen: Do
  Nellie Myers: um
  Amber Christensen: you have it upside down or
  Nellie Myers: Mm?
  Amber Christensen: Do you
  Nellie Myers: That's
  Amber Christensen: have it
  Nellie Myers: the top. So
  Amber Christensen: this
  Nellie Myers: uh
  Amber Christensen: that's
  Nellie Myers: this
  Amber Christensen: top?
  Nellie Myers: top. This down.
  Amber Christensen: Okay.
  Nellie Myers: Um maybe it's possible to uh make this side like um Let's see. Um Colour uh okay. Uh to make this side um like mm the right colour. Um bit like so uh um in the form of your hand. So um Uh it's an
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: So so the remote control have to um lay in your hand. So uh it's possib um yeah for
  Amber Christensen: So
  Nellie Myers: s
  Amber Christensen: get
  Nellie Myers: so
  Amber Christensen: your
  Nellie Myers: and
  Amber Christensen: mouse. Yeah.
  Nellie Myers: And to put uh the the buttons for um changing uh the channel uh over here uh
  Amber Christensen: Yeah. That's a good one.
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: But I think it's better to put the screen uh on top.
  Nellie Myers: Uh
  Amber Christensen: So just
  Nellie Myers: rem
  Amber Christensen: flip it a hundred and eighty degrees around then you
  Nellie Myers: Yeah
  Amber Christensen: get
  Nellie Myers: but this place um
  Amber Christensen: here. If you can have this one, you turn it like this. And then flip it upside down.
  Nellie Myers: Uh it's Yeah I dunno um
  Amber Christensen: Because uh maybe your hand is in the way, if you have the display
  Nellie Myers: Yeah.
  Gloria Snyder: Mm-hmm.
  Amber Christensen: here.
  Dorothy Vangundy: It's more logical to have it on top as well because,
  Amber Christensen: I think i
  Nellie Myers: Yeah
  Dorothy Vangundy: like on your mobile phone,
  Nellie Myers: so
  Dorothy Vangundy: it's always above.
  Gloria Snyder: Yeah.
  Amber Christensen: On top.
  Nellie Myers: So
  Amber Christensen: Yeah.
  Dorothy Vangundy: Oh maybe you should just s start on a blank page.
