Extracted Content: Anna Chacko: Yep. Soon as I get this.
  Anna Chacko: Okay. This is our last meeting. Um I'll go ahead and go through the minutes from the previous meeting. Uh and then we'll have a, the prototype presentation. Um then we will um do an evaluation. Uh or we'll see what, what we need to have under the criteria for the evaluation. Then we'll go through the finance and see if we fall within the budget. Um then we'll do the evaluation, and then can finish up after that with um any changes that we'll need to make, or hopefully everything will fall right in line. Um let's see, minutes from the last meeting. Um we looked at uh the the trends. We had uh the fashion trends that people want a fancy look-and-feel. It was twice as important as anything else. Um they liked fruit and vegetables in the new styles. Um and a spongy feel. So we were talking about trying to incorporate those into our prototype. Um they wanted limited buttons and simplicity. Um then we looked at the uh the method for coming up with our own remote. Um looking at other other devices. Um the iPod, we really liked the look of that. Um we also had uh the kid's remote for a simple idea. Um a two part remote, which was what were were originally looking at. Uh and then um there was talk of spee uh speech recognition um becoming more uh predominant and easier to use. But I think we've still decided not to go with that. Then we looked at the components um the materials for the case, the different energy sources, the different types of chips, um and made a decision on what we were going to use to make our remote. Um and basically how, what were making for the prototype. So I'm going to leave it at that and let you guys take over.
  Suzanne Waller: The prototype discussion.
  Anna Chacko: The prototype yeah. Do you need a this?
  Suzanne Waller: No.
  Anna Chacko: Okay.
  Suzanne Waller: There
  Amy Fritts: Can try
  Suzanne Waller: is
  Amy Fritts: to
  Suzanne Waller: our
  Amy Fritts: plug
  Suzanne Waller: remo
  Amy Fritts: that in there but
  Suzanne Waller: the banana. Um yeah basically we we st went with the colour yellow. Um working on the principle of a fruit which was mentioned, it's basically designed around a banana. Um but it would be held in such a fashion, where it is, obviously it wouldn't be that floppy 'cause this would be hard plastic. These would be like the rubber, the rubber grips. So that's so that would help with grip, or like the ergonomics of it. Um but all the controlling would be done with this scroll wheel. You have to use your imagination a little bit. And this here represents the screen, where
  Anna Chacko: Very
  Suzanne Waller: you,
  Anna Chacko: nice.
  Suzanne Waller: where you'd go through. And the the simplest functions would be um almost identical to an iPod, where that one way ch through channels, that way th other way through channels. Volume up and down. And then to access the more complicated functions you'd you sorta go, you press that and go through the menus. It's that that simple. That just represents the infrared uh beam. That's a simple on and off switch. Um I don't know, we could use the voice. T that blue bits should be yellow, d that that'd be where the batteries would be I suppose. And um that's about it. It's as simple as you, we could make it really. Is there anything
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Suzanne Waller: you want to add?
  Amy Fritts: That's what we have there. That's plastic. Plastic covered with rubber. We might uh add some more underneath here. Maybe give it, give it a form. I mean you're supposed to hold it like that, but um just if you grab it, take
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: it from somewhere,
  Suzanne Waller: Doesn't make much
  Amy Fritts: so
  Anna Chacko: Mm-hmm.
  Suzanne Waller: make
  Amy Fritts: yeah,
  Suzanne Waller: much difference. You
  Amy Fritts: you
  Suzanne Waller: could
  Amy Fritts: have
  Suzanne Waller: work
  Amy Fritts: some
  Suzanne Waller: left-handed
  Amy Fritts: rub
  Suzanne Waller: or right-handed
  Amy Fritts: yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: I suppose.
  Amy Fritts: Exactly, use both. Might as well
  Suzanne Waller: T the
  Amy Fritts: think
  Suzanne Waller: actual
  Amy Fritts: about
  Suzanne Waller: thing might be smaller.
  Amy Fritts: Th think about the button as
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: well. put either one one on either side or
  Anna Chacko: What but what's
  Amy Fritts: not
  Anna Chacko: that
  Amy Fritts: do
  Anna Chacko: button?
  Amy Fritts: it at all.
  Suzanne Waller: Just the on
  Amy Fritts: It's
  Suzanne Waller: and
  Amy Fritts: a quick
  Suzanne Waller: off.
  Anna Chacko: Uh,
  Amy Fritts: on-off
  Anna Chacko: 'kay.
  Amy Fritts: button. That's um yeah I think it's pretty important. So you don't have to fiddle with that.
  Anna Chacko: 'Kay.
  Amy Fritts: Right? Um that's not um I'd say a bit smaller would probably be nice.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: You wanna play with that over there. There you go.
  Suzanne Waller: It's you know it's flimsy 'cause it's made out of heavy Play-Doh,
  Anna Chacko: Would you like
  Suzanne Waller: but
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Anna Chacko: to uh
  Cynthia Carlson: Pretty impressive.
  Anna Chacko: Well done.
  Cynthia Carlson: Kind.
  Suzanne Waller: And whether or not it would fall into the cost everything I suppose. With the scroll and the L_C_D_.
  Anna Chacko: Well luckily we are going to find out. Or not luckily. Um do you have a
  Cynthia Carlson: I
  Anna Chacko: marketing
  Cynthia Carlson: do.
  Anna Chacko: presentation for us.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay. You guys are gonna help Cynthia Carlson do an evaluation of the criteria. Um.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay. So first I'll just discuss some of the criteria that I found. Just based on the past trend reports that I was looking at earlier. And then we'll do a group evaluation of the prototype. And then we will calculate the average score to see how we did.
  Cynthia Carlson: So we're gonna be doing it based on a seven point scale. And one is going to mean true, that we did actually achieve that. With seven being false, we did not achieve that.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay. So for the first one, we need to decide, did we solved the problem of the users who complained about an ugly remote?
  Anna Chacko: I think it's definitely
  Cynthia Carlson: Mm.
  Anna Chacko: different than anything else
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: out there. So if they think that what is out there is ugly, then yes
  Suzanne Waller: I
  Anna Chacko: I
  Suzanne Waller: would.
  Anna Chacko: would say, I would say most definitely. It's bright.
  Suzanne Waller: It's bright. It's
  Anna Chacko: It still has your traditional black.
  Suzanne Waller: It's curved. It's not there's no sharp angles to
  Anna Chacko: Yep,
  Suzanne Waller: it.
  Anna Chacko: not angular.
  Cynthia Carlson: Mm.
  Amy Fritts: I'd say, when it comes to the ergonomics, the form and stuff, yes that's definitely more beautiful than your average. However the colour,
  Cynthia Carlson: Yeah I think
  Amy Fritts: we
  Cynthia Carlson: the
  Amy Fritts: don't
  Cynthia Carlson: colours
  Amy Fritts: have a say
  Cynthia Carlson: detract
  Amy Fritts: in that.
  Cynthia Carlson: a little
  Suzanne Waller: Some people
  Cynthia Carlson: bit.
  Suzanne Waller: might
  Amy Fritts: That has
  Suzanne Waller: say
  Amy Fritts: been,
  Suzanne Waller: it. Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: that has been dictated
  Anna Chacko: Mm.
  Amy Fritts: pretty much by the company. So
  Cynthia Carlson: That's true.
  Amy Fritts: uh
  Anna Chacko: Yep.
  Amy Fritts: to answer that honestly I would rather say like uh, we have not solved the problem completely with
  Cynthia Carlson: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: the ugly remote because the colour is ugly, definitely.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: 'S nothing you can say about that. I mean I much prefer something like brushed chrome
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: with that form. But
  Anna Chacko: Yeah something more modern to go
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Anna Chacko: a a modern colour to go with the modern form.
  Amy Fritts: Right. It's different. You don't want your uh three feet huge L_C_D_ dis display in your living room that's hanging from the wall to be controlled with something like that.
  Cynthia Carlson: Um okay so, do you think, since we This was a a sign criteria, do you think maybe we should put it somewhere in the middle then? Does
  Amy Fritts: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: that sound good?
  Anna Chacko: Yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: What do you think? Three? Four?
  Anna Chacko: I
  Cynthia Carlson: Five?
  Anna Chacko: would say four.
  Cynthia Carlson: Four
  Amy Fritts: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: is fair. Okay.
  Anna Chacko: Very non-committal, four.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay, the second one. Did we make it simple for new users?
  Amy Fritts: It's very intuitive, I think yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah. I think that was the main aim, one of the main aims that we had.
  Amy Fritts: S give it a one.
  Cynthia Carlson: One,
  Anna Chacko: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: 'kay. Okay. Um, do the controls now match the operating behaviour of the users?
  Suzanne Waller: Uh yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: I'd
  Suzanne Waller: 'Cause
  Cynthia Carlson: say
  Suzanne Waller: we've
  Cynthia Carlson: that
  Suzanne Waller: we've brought it down to basically four controls most common, which
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Suzanne Waller: are
  Anna Chacko: Mm-hmm.
  Suzanne Waller: channel and volume. And then the other ones are just a matter of just going, just
  Anna Chacko: S
  Suzanne Waller: scrolling further.
  Anna Chacko: scrolling through and selecting
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: a few.
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Cynthia Carlson: So one?
  Amy Fritts: So that's a one.
  Cynthia Carlson: Yeah?
  Anna Chacko: I think that's a one.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay. Okay um the fourth one. How about the problem of a remote being easily lost? One of the number one
  Amy Fritts: Something
  Cynthia Carlson: complaints.
  Amy Fritts: that big and that yellow you just don't lose anymore.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: Whether
  Suzanne Waller: It's
  Cynthia Carlson: you
  Suzanne Waller: bright
  Cynthia Carlson: want to
  Suzanne Waller: yellow.
  Cynthia Carlson: or not,
  Suzanne Waller: Bright
  Cynthia Carlson: you're
  Suzanne Waller: yellow's
  Cynthia Carlson: not
  Suzanne Waller: hard
  Cynthia Carlson: gonna
  Suzanne Waller: to
  Cynthia Carlson: lose
  Suzanne Waller: lose.
  Cynthia Carlson: it.
  Suzanne Waller: But um if we were to, if we were, that, the speech recognition. That, we could maybe just use that solely for the the finding thing. That was what we'd we'd mentioned.
  Anna Chacko: So if we incorporate speech recognition into it then it
  Suzanne Waller: Just
  Anna Chacko: could
  Suzanne Waller: just to use, to find it when it was lost. But like I said, like I
  Amy Fritts: Oops.
  Suzanne Waller: don't think you'd lose something so yellow so easily. And it's
  Amy Fritts: Hmm.
  Suzanne Waller: not gonna fall, like a rectangle would slip down behind things. That's gonna be a difficult shape to
  Amy Fritts: Well
  Anna Chacko: And
  Amy Fritts: what
  Anna Chacko: it is quite bright and
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah. Maybe in the middle again, three or four or something?
  Amy Fritts: S
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay.
  Anna Chacko: Uh
  Suzanne Waller: I mean you know loo losing things is one of those things that people can lose,
  Anna Chacko: Yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: I mean a million ways. You can pick it up and walk away with it and then you've lost it.
  Cynthia Carlson: That's true.
  Amy Fritts: Mm.
  Anna Chacko: But if we do
  Cynthia Carlson: Mm.
  Anna Chacko: go with the, with the speech recognition, then it, then our scale goes up quite a bit
  Amy Fritts: Oh
  Anna Chacko: I
  Amy Fritts: yeah.
  Anna Chacko: think.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: You probably
  Anna Chacko: Probably two. You know. If we eliminate the fact that you know it's impossible to guarantee that it's not gonna be lost
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: then
  Amy Fritts: Mm.
  Anna Chacko: I'd say two. With the speech recognition, which of course may be changed depending on budget.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: Y you could add an extra feature actually. Which makes this thing raise hell when you remove it too far from the television.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: We could add that but that's nothing we have thought of
  Anna Chacko: Which,
  Amy Fritts: so far.
  Anna Chacko: which may be cheaper than speech recognition if it
  Amy Fritts: Yes.
  Anna Chacko: were just a
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah true. But
  Cynthia Carlson: Annoying
  Suzanne Waller: I mean d just
  Cynthia Carlson: alarm
  Suzanne Waller: those whistling,
  Cynthia Carlson: or something?
  Suzanne Waller: clapping
  Cynthia Carlson: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: It's
  Suzanne Waller: key rings
  Amy Fritts: it's
  Suzanne Waller: you have. They're cheap. So it can't be that
  Amy Fritts: Um the it's based
  Suzanne Waller: expensive.
  Amy Fritts: on this anti anti-theft
  Anna Chacko: Some sort of
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: technology
  Anna Chacko: proximity
  Amy Fritts: for suitcases and stuff, where you have one piece that's attached to your luggage, another piece that starts beeping. That can't cost much.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: So that can also easily be integrated because these things are small enough to to hide, so you have one piece, you have to glue somewhere behind
  Suzanne Waller: stick it
  Amy Fritts: your
  Suzanne Waller: on the T_V_.
  Amy Fritts: stick it behind your T_V_ and the other
  Anna Chacko: Pray that you don't accidentally lose that piece.
  Amy Fritts: Right. That'd be tough then. Well also your remote would uh alarm you if somebody stole you t your television, yeah. Ran off with it without taking the beautiful remote control.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: So. Are we adding one of these two features?
  Amy Fritts: Let's
  Cynthia Carlson: gonna
  Amy Fritts: add
  Cynthia Carlson: say
  Amy Fritts: one of those features
  Cynthia Carlson: okay.
  Amy Fritts: and say yes.
  Anna Chacko: Okay.
  Cynthia Carlson: So we're back to a one? Or a two?
  Suzanne Waller: Two.
  Amy Fritts: Two.
  Cynthia Carlson: Two,
  Anna Chacko: Two.
  Cynthia Carlson: 'kay. Okay. Are we technologically innovative?
  Amy Fritts: Uh
  Suzanne Waller: I'd say so. Uh don't get many mo
  Amy Fritts: It's all
  Suzanne Waller: remote
  Amy Fritts: just
  Suzanne Waller: controls with screens on.
  Amy Fritts: It's all just stolen technology
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah
  Cynthia Carlson: From
  Suzanne Waller: it's stolen
  Cynthia Carlson: iPod
  Amy Fritts: when it
  Suzanne Waller: technology.
  Amy Fritts: comes
  Anna Chacko: It's
  Cynthia Carlson: yeah.
  Amy Fritts: down to
  Suzanne Waller: But we have.
  Anna Chacko: But
  Cynthia Carlson: But
  Anna Chacko: there's
  Cynthia Carlson: for
  Anna Chacko: not
  Cynthia Carlson: remotes
  Amy Fritts: right
  Anna Chacko: a lot of yellow, there's
  Cynthia Carlson: yeah.
  Anna Chacko: not a lotta yellow. Course
  Suzanne Waller: Fa
  Amy Fritts: right
  Anna Chacko: that wasn't
  Amy Fritts: right
  Anna Chacko: really
  Amy Fritts: right.
  Anna Chacko: we were kinda forced to take that colour.
  Cynthia Carlson: Two? Three?
  Anna Chacko: I don't know that we
  Suzanne Waller: 'cause it's
  Anna Chacko: are
  Suzanne Waller: stolen.
  Anna Chacko: that innovative,
  Suzanne Waller: No
  Anna Chacko: to
  Suzanne Waller: maybe
  Anna Chacko: tell you
  Suzanne Waller: not.
  Anna Chacko: the
  Amy Fritts: Yeah
  Anna Chacko: truth.
  Amy Fritts: not really.
  Cynthia Carlson: But how many remotes do you see like this? Not
  Anna Chacko: If
  Cynthia Carlson: so
  Anna Chacko: we
  Cynthia Carlson: many.
  Anna Chacko: added the screaming factor then we go up.
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Anna Chacko: Um I would say we're probably at four.
  Cynthia Carlson: Really? Okay. That's gonna hurt us. Okay. Um spongy material?
  Amy Fritts: Yeah well you have that,
  Anna Chacko: We have some spongy,
  Amy Fritts: kind
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah
  Amy Fritts: of,
  Suzanne Waller: as
  Anna Chacko: yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: much as
  Amy Fritts: sort of.
  Suzanne Waller: as needed, I think.
  Cynthia Carlson: 'Kay.
  Amy Fritts: It's not a one though.
  Anna Chacko: No.
  Amy Fritts: One would be the whole thing
  Anna Chacko: Yeah. Because it's only got
  Amy Fritts: to fold and stuff.
  Anna Chacko: what, these parts are the grips and perhaps the back side the
  Amy Fritts: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: bottom the underneath on
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: the back.
  Amy Fritts: So that's a four at
  Anna Chacko: Probably
  Amy Fritts: most.
  Anna Chacko: a four at most.
  Cynthia Carlson: And
  Anna Chacko: Possibly
  Cynthia Carlson: lastly,
  Anna Chacko: even a five.
  Cynthia Carlson: did we put the fashion in electronics?
  Amy Fritts: Y yes.
  Cynthia Carlson: I'd
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: say we did.
  Anna Chacko: If
  Amy Fritts: More
  Anna Chacko: your fashion is b is Carmen Miranda, you betcha.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: Well the recent fashion is rather displayed in the
  Suzanne Waller: On the
  Amy Fritts: in the L_C_D_ and
  Anna Chacko: It's
  Amy Fritts: the
  Anna Chacko: true.
  Amy Fritts: way you operate it than
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: the form and the colour, but it definitely is.
  Suzanne Waller: Be what we were told, and they'd say yeah, definitely.
  Cynthia Carlson: 'Kay. Alright. Now we just gotta calculate. Six eight twelve sixteen. Seventeen divided by s
  Anna Chacko: Seven is
  Cynthia Carlson: Eight.
  Anna Chacko: Two point
  Anna Chacko: two point four?
  Suzanne Waller: Is that some long division? No.
  Cynthia Carlson: Well I haven't
  Anna Chacko: Something.
  Cynthia Carlson: done math in years. What two I dunno.
  Suzanne Waller: Just, I'm sure there's a.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay we'll say two point four two. Right? How does that look?
  Amy Fritts: I'm impressed. I can't do that without a calculator.
  Suzanne Waller: No I can't do long
  Cynthia Carlson: It's
  Suzanne Waller: very
  Cynthia Carlson: been
  Suzanne Waller: impressive.
  Cynthia Carlson: a while.
  Anna Chacko: And what what is the acceptable criteria? Is there like a scale that we have to hit?
  Cynthia Carlson: Oh no. They just told Cynthia Carlson to pick my own criteria and have you guys evaluate it basically.
  Anna Chacko: Alright then.
  Cynthia Carlson: So that's that.
  Anna Chacko: Okay. Well, let's see. Now we get to do the budget numbers. You didn't know that you were gonna have a budget. But we do. Okay.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah. Yeah so. You'd been going a long time dividing that. It's two point four two eight five se it just keeps going on.
  Cynthia Carlson: Oh my god. Okay.
  Suzanne Waller: Two point four two basically.
  Cynthia Carlson: Yeah we'll go with that. Not
  Anna Chacko: So
  Cynthia Carlson: too shabby.
  Anna Chacko: I have here
  Amy Fritts: Fifty
  Anna Chacko: an
  Amy Fritts: percent, you're kidding.
  Anna Chacko: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: P
  Anna Chacko: We want a fifty percent profit on this. Oh you can't really see that very well.
  Suzanne Waller: Charge about three hundred quid for it.
  Anna Chacko: Twelve and a half Euros is what supposed to cost us. Okay, so
  Amy Fritts: It's too much.
  Anna Chacko: Well let's
  Amy Fritts: Um
  Anna Chacko: see. The f the Wonder if I can make this
  Amy Fritts: Uh
  Anna Chacko: What the
  Anna Chacko: Oh it won't let Cynthia Carlson do that. Okay. Alright so at top, I don't know if you guys can read that or not. I can't 'cause I don't have my glasses on, but so we've got the energy source. There's uh
  Amy Fritts: Battery.
  Anna Chacko: four, five, six categories. We have energy source, electronics, case. supplements, interface type, and then button supplements. Okay so Uh first of all energy source, we picked battery. Um and how many batteries do we think this will probably take? Probably some e either two or four.
  Amy Fritts: Two.
  Anna Chacko: Two? Like it.
  Amy Fritts: At four it's gonna be too heavy, so that that's not our problem. People can change it every month. They won't
  Anna Chacko: Excellent.
  Amy Fritts: know until after they bought it.
  Anna Chacko: This is consumerism. Alright so for the electronics our choices are simpl simple chip-on-print, regular chip-on-print, advanced chip-on-print, sample sensor, sample speaker.
  Suzanne Waller: We're advanced chip are we?
  Amy Fritts: That's the advanced chip-on-print, yeah.
  Anna Chacko: 'Kay, we have one of those. 'Kay then the case is a Probably it's double
  Amy Fritts: Double
  Anna Chacko: curved.
  Amy Fritts: curved, yes.
  Anna Chacko: Case materials are
  Amy Fritts: Plastic.
  Anna Chacko: plastic. Um I guess it's two, since one for the top, one for the bottom.
  Amy Fritts: N
  Anna Chacko: Is that right or is
  Amy Fritts: no.
  Anna Chacko: it just one?
  Amy Fritts: No that's just
  Anna Chacko: Maybe
  Amy Fritts: one.
  Anna Chacko: it's one because of the
  Amy Fritts: It's just one mo single mould, we can do that.
  Anna Chacko: 'Kay.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: Right.
  Anna Chacko: I guess it doesn't matter 'cause the price on that one is zero, which
  Amy Fritts: Exactly,
  Anna Chacko: is nice.
  Cynthia Carlson: Oh.
  Amy Fritts: right.
  Anna Chacko: Special colour?
  Amy Fritts: That's not a special colour.
  Cynthia Carlson: Bright
  Amy Fritts: It's
  Cynthia Carlson: yellow.
  Amy Fritts: a specially ugly colour, but it's not special.
  Anna Chacko: Interface type. We have pushbutton,
  Suzanne Waller: S
  Anna Chacko: scroll-wheel interface,
  Amy Fritts: S
  Anna Chacko: integrated scroll-wheel pushbutton, and
  Suzanne Waller: That's
  Anna Chacko: an L_C_D_ display.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: So we actually have the L_C_D_ display
  Suzanne Waller: And then
  Anna Chacko: and then is it the integrated or
  Suzanne Waller: I'd
  Anna Chacko: is
  Suzanne Waller: say
  Anna Chacko: it
  Suzanne Waller: the integrated.
  Amy Fritts: Yes
  Anna Chacko: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: unfortunately.
  Anna Chacko: 'Kay. Button supplement? Special colour?
  Suzanne Waller: Mm.
  Anna Chacko: Um special form? Special material.
  Amy Fritts: We could of course make the buttons wood. Say mahogany or so
  Cynthia Carlson: It'd look really lovely.
  Anna Chacko: Or titanium.
  Amy Fritts: Mm-hmm or titanium.
  Cynthia Carlson: Yeah.
  Anna Chacko: They cost us all the same.
  Suzanne Waller: remote control.
  Amy Fritts: Uh
  Anna Chacko: Well
  Amy Fritts: just
  Anna Chacko: we only have one button so really we shouldn't be charged, we
  Suzanne Waller: No
  Anna Chacko: shouldn't
  Suzanne Waller: that's
  Anna Chacko: be
  Suzanne Waller: getting
  Anna Chacko: charged
  Suzanne Waller: a bit
  Anna Chacko: anything for
  Suzanne Waller: tiny.
  Anna Chacko: the the button supplements. Um
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah. I'd ignore that.
  Cynthia Carlson: Leave it blank.
  Anna Chacko: Okay. We're gonna leave that one blank because we run on a L_C_D_ and scroll. So our total is fifteen point five. Which I believe
  Amy Fritts: Yeah that's too much.
  Anna Chacko: is by three Euros over.
  Amy Fritts: It's hard to believe. So we'll go for the hand dynamo huh?
  Anna Chacko: So the only thing better than um
  Suzanne Waller: If
  Anna Chacko: a banana-shaped
  Suzanne Waller: it w
  Anna Chacko: remote is one that you shake.
  Suzanne Waller: What if we completely took out the the one single button we've got on. And just had a scroll wheel interface. And the L_C_D_ display. I suppose the L_C_D_ C_ display's the one that's pushing it up a bit though.
  Anna Chacko: Yeah 'cause the Well 'cause we have to have both right?
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: I mean let's let's face it, it also depends on the software on the
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.
  Amy Fritts: on the television. You can have the the information that this thing transmits be being displayed on the on the screen.
  Anna Chacko: Mm-hmm.
  Amy Fritts: So s yeah let's take
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah
  Amy Fritts: away the
  Suzanne Waller: you could maybe take out the L_C_D_ dis display
  Amy Fritts: Yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: even,
  Amy Fritts: Yeah.
  Suzanne Waller: if it if it comes up on the computer itsel on the T_V_ itself.
  Amy Fritts: Right.
  Anna Chacko: So we may not need the L_C_D_ display?
  Suzanne Waller: Uh that is possible yeah.
  Amy Fritts: Right. We may not need it. There you go.
  Anna Chacko: Well there
  Amy Fritts: Perfect.
  Anna Chacko: we go.
  Suzanne Waller: There we go.
  Anna Chacko: Twelve
  Cynthia Carlson: Perfect.
  Anna Chacko: point five. Okay. So we just remove our
  Suzanne Waller: Screen.
  Anna Chacko: screen here.
  Suzanne Waller: Make it a bigger dial. Easier to use. Even easier to use then.
  Anna Chacko: Besides look at what the L_C_D_ does to our lovely remote.
  Amy Fritts: Okay, the
  Anna Chacko: Back to the design room boys.
  Amy Fritts: So we can just take away a heck of a lot of the there you go.
  Cynthia Carlson: What's the blue part?
  Amy Fritts: central?
  Suzanne Waller: That was just
  Cynthia Carlson: Oh that's
  Amy Fritts: Oh that's
  Cynthia Carlson: the
  Suzanne Waller: we
  Cynthia Carlson: batteries.
  Amy Fritts: just
  Suzanne Waller: ran out of yellow.
  Amy Fritts: yeah.
  Cynthia Carlson: Okay.
  Amy Fritts: There you go.
  Suzanne Waller: There you go.
  Amy Fritts: Oops.
  Suzanne Waller: Even simpler.
  Cynthia Carlson: Looks more like a banana.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah. For all those
  Amy Fritts: There
  Suzanne Waller: fruit
  Amy Fritts: you go.
  Suzanne Waller: lovers
  Amy Fritts: One more
  Suzanne Waller: out
  Amy Fritts: criteria.
  Suzanne Waller: there.
  Anna Chacko: Okay so the costs under twelve point five Euro. Was no. We redesigned it.
  Suzanne Waller: Yeah.

  Anna Chacko: we st we started off a little little weak. Our leadership was quite weak in the beginning. Um um But as the day went along we had more idea of what we were doing. Um room for creativity? There was that.

Updated Content: Anna Chacko opened the meeting and read the minutes of the previous meeting. Amy Fritts and user interface designer presented the prototype they created, which was designed to look like a banana. Cynthia Carlson conducted an evaluation of the prototype. The team found that, although the overall design of the prototype was attractive, its yellow color was ugly. The team rated the prototype highly on its ease of use and felt that its yellow color and shape detracted slightly from its ability to be misplaced and that a feature which causes the remote to make noise based on its proximity to a television needed to be added. The team thought the prototype was fashionable and not technologically innovative or spongy. Anna Chacko led the team in calculating the production costs of the remote and ensuring that they aligned with the project budget. The costs were over budget, so the team opted to exclude the LCD from their design to meet their budget. The team conducted an evaluation of the project process and found that they performed well and were somewhat satisfied by the resources available to them.
