Extracted Content: Edwin Smiley: So uh good morning.
  David Williams: Morning.
  Steve Hillman: Morning.
  Timothy Cross: Morning.
  Edwin Smiley: I see you all find places. Is everybody
  Steve Hillman: Yep.
  Edwin Smiley: 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 Steve Hillman, so I'm
  Steve Hillman: My
  Edwin Smiley: Bart,
  Steve Hillman: name's Frank.
  Edwin Smiley: hello. Hello.
  David Williams: I'm.
  Edwin Smiley: Bart. Hello. Hello. Bart. Welcome.
  Steve Hillman: Thank you
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Steve Hillman: Hmm,
  Edwin Smiley: Let's do it read
  Steve Hillman: that's
  Edwin Smiley: only.
  Steve Hillman: interesting.
  Edwin Smiley: 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 Edwin Smiley 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.
  Steve Hillman: Sure.
  Edwin Smiley: 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?
  Steve Hillman: Yep.
  David Williams: Yep.
  Steve Hillman: Visit
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah.
  Steve Hillman: it.
  Edwin Smiley: Have you seen any flaws in it? I think I found one. No?
  David Williams: Hmm?
  Steve Hillman: Can't say I paid much attention to it,
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Steve Hillman: Oh yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: Real Remote is not really the company we're we are, but
  David Williams: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: it's just a little
  David Williams: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: 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
  Steve Hillman: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: got Steve Hillman 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.
  David Williams: Yep.
  Edwin Smiley: 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. Timothy Cross is going to work on the working design, uh components design and a bit of the look and feel design. Uh David Williams is going to do the technical function design, user interface concept and user interface design. And Steve Hillman 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
  Steve Hillman: 'Kay.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  David Williams: Hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: 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,
  David Williams: Okay. Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Steve Hillman: That was interesting.
  Edwin Smiley: Is everybody is anybody playing with the mouse? No. Okay.
  Steve Hillman: Innocent.
  Edwin Smiley: 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
  David Williams: Okay.
  Steve Hillman: 'Kay.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Edwin Smiley: Oh
  David Williams: Sure.
  Edwin Smiley: Ah I was trying to draw a dolphin, but I think his nose has to be a little bit But it's close.
  Steve Hillman: I'm thinking about a swordfish.
  Edwin Smiley: So what
  David Williams: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: yeah it's
  David Williams: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: this is bit of the swordfish. Yeah, he hasn't got an eye.
  Timothy Cross: Mm-hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: Woah. Now we've got another function. We've got the eraser. And then you can undo this easily.
  Steve Hillman: Meat.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Edwin Smiley: Okay. This is typically a undo action, I think.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Steve Hillman: Hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: Maybe you have to use
  Edwin Smiley: Oh.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Steve Hillman: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: So
  David Williams: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: now I'm gonna hand over the pen on the new blank sheet to you. Go
  Steve Hillman: Thank
  Edwin Smiley: ahead.
  Steve Hillman: you. Okay. Gonna use a different line width.
  Steve Hillman: There. 'Kay, I'm not much of an artist, but here we go.
  Edwin Smiley: Maybe it's easier to draw the smaller line width, I think.
  David Williams: Hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: Because this is going a lot better than uh I did.
  David Williams: A sheep.
  Steve Hillman: Mm.
  Steve Hillman: Okay. This is my um Hmm. Sheep.
  Edwin Smiley: It's nice.
  Steve Hillman: With of course
  Steve Hillman: little
  Edwin Smiley: Uh.
  Steve Hillman: blue dot they always get sprayed on their butts.
  Edwin Smiley: It's
  Steve Hillman: There.
  Edwin Smiley: a real dead sheep, yeah.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: For recognition, yeah, I see. Um maybe you can
  Steve Hillman: 'Kay.
  Edwin Smiley: also write your name somewhere. On just a
  Steve Hillman: They are Come on.
  Steve Hillman: You have to go really slow when you're writing.
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah.
  Steve Hillman: They're brilliant animal animals. And that's just a little Steve Hillman thingy. So. Guess I'll pass the pen to our
  David Williams: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: Nice.
  Steve Hillman: User Interface Designer.
  David Williams: Um I'm just gonna draw its uh head, but mm Let's see. Mm.
  David Williams: Uh.
  David Williams: Okay.
  Steve Hillman: Interesting.
  Edwin Smiley: Sweet.
  David Williams: Yeah. You know what that is? Or who?
  Steve Hillman: A rabbit?
  Timothy Cross: Garfield.
  David Williams: Ah okay,
  Steve Hillman: Garfield.
  David Williams: yeah.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  David Williams: Just a
  David Williams: So uh Yeah. That's enough. Um, you say a blank, or
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah, just a blank
  David Williams: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: sheet.
  Timothy Cross: Well I was gonna draw a cat too, so. I'll just try something else.
  Edwin Smiley: No.
  Timothy Cross: Something different than Garfield.
  Timothy Cross: Mine is a bit more skinny.
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah, it's
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: pretty skinny cat.
  Timothy Cross: But uh
  Steve Hillman: And the most interesting tail.
  Edwin Smiley: Is your cat, or did you find him on the street?
  Timothy Cross: Well, it's supposed to be a cat. I like cats because uh they are uh independent.
  Edwin Smiley: Ah.
  Timothy Cross: The pen. So.
  Edwin Smiley: Okay. That's pretty clear. So everybody knows how to work with the white board now? So
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: if you have any ideas or if you wanna
  Timothy Cross: The
  Edwin Smiley: draw
  Timothy Cross: pen.
  Edwin Smiley: anything on the white board, just ask and go ahead. It's pretty uh easy. 'Kay. S
  Steve Hillman: We're being haunted.
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah, you got a message.
  Edwin Smiley: I've got a message. Five minutes.
  David Williams: Five
  Edwin Smiley: Okay,
  David Williams: minutes, okay.
  Edwin Smiley: that's uh good timing.
  Steve Hillman: So just on a side note, why is it my laptop is only giving Steve Hillman a black screen?
  David Williams: Mm?
  Edwin Smiley: Uh maybe you have to say the magic word.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah. Right.
  Edwin Smiley: Does it do anything?
  Steve Hillman: No.
  Edwin Smiley: Maybe you have to just clap it down? Mm back up again. No slide show. Hmm.
  Steve Hillman: It's off now.
  Edwin Smiley: It's off. Now you have to put it back o Oh yeah. You'll be okay, I think.
  Steve Hillman: Well, it was on, but
  Edwin Smiley: Well it's those laptops.
  Steve Hillman: Ah, there we are.
  Edwin Smiley: 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?
  David Williams: Mm.
  Edwin Smiley: Like you can use for other?
  David Williams: Oh really?
  Edwin Smiley: No?
  David Williams: Huh.
  Edwin Smiley: You?
  Steve Hillman: Well, we
  Timothy Cross: No,
  David Williams: It's
  Steve Hillman: have
  Timothy Cross: Steve Hillman
  Steve Hillman: a
  Timothy Cross: neither.
  David Williams: a
  Steve Hillman: 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.
  Edwin Smiley: Ah yeah.
  Steve Hillman: And I think it's it would be best to just make one remote control that can operate them all.
  Edwin Smiley: Yep.
  David Williams: Sure.
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah I've
  David Williams: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: 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,
  David Williams: Okay, yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: anything else.
  David Williams: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: 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
  David Williams: Okay,
  Edwin Smiley: second
  David Williams: yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: floor.
  Steve Hillman: Oh really.
  Edwin Smiley: So
  David Williams: Hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: that's pretty handy when you have a video recorder or D_V_D_ player downstairs and
  David Williams: Oh.
  Edwin Smiley: you've got a link to your T_V_ on the second floor.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  David Williams: Mm-hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: 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
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: uh
  David Williams: Oh.
  Edwin Smiley: That's good to remember.
  Steve Hillman: So I think you can take minutes again.
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah, that's nice, I think.
  Steve Hillman: Since it's your job.
  Edwin Smiley: So we've we want different functions
  Steve Hillman: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: 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
  David Williams: Mm.
  Edwin Smiley: uh that's something we have to find out, I think.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah. But that would be really good if we could do that.
  Edwin Smiley: And other functions for a remote control? Maybe we can make
  Steve Hillman: Um.
  Edwin Smiley: it
  David Williams: Mm-hmm.
  Edwin Smiley: uh uh
  Steve Hillman: Think it has to be shock proof
  David Williams: Sure, yeah.
  Steve Hillman: 'cause
  Edwin Smiley: Shock proof.
  Steve Hillman: my remote control tends to
  David Williams: Waterproof,
  Steve Hillman: fall a lot.
  David Williams: or uh
  Steve Hillman: So
  David Williams: Uh,
  Edwin Smiley: Sure.
  David Williams: you never no know uh, I w I mean uh
  Edwin Smiley: 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.
  David Williams: 'Kay.
  Steve Hillman: Yeah, one other little thing. Thought it might be handy to put a battery status display on it. So
  Edwin Smiley: That's
  Steve Hillman: you can
  Edwin Smiley: a
  Steve Hillman: see
  Edwin Smiley: battery stays.
  David Williams: Okay, yeah.
  Steve Hillman: how much is left in the battery. But they'll also really drag up the production costs, so
  Edwin Smiley: Yeah.
  Steve Hillman: think we'll have to see about that too.
  David Williams: Mm.
  Edwin Smiley: Uh.
  Steve Hillman: But maybe just a little LED, I don't know.
  Edwin Smiley: That's an idea as well. Other ideas? Quick ideas.
  Timothy Cross: Nope. They were all
  David Williams: Mm.
  Timothy Cross: mentioned, so
  Edwin Smiley: Okay.
  David Williams: Yeah.
  Edwin Smiley: Any questions about this uh presentation? Kick off presentation.
  Steve Hillman: Um. Nope, don't think so.
  Edwin Smiley: No? Okay, then I'll put the minutes from this meeting in the project folder, and then we can all work. Finish meeting now.
  Steve Hillman: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: Okay. And
  Steve Hillman: Aye
  Edwin Smiley: we
  Steve Hillman: sir.
  Edwin Smiley: can all work uh on our own projects.
  Edwin Smiley: Okay then I'll meet you in about a
  Steve Hillman: Half an
  Edwin Smiley: half
  Steve Hillman: hour.
  Edwin Smiley: an hour, I think.
  Timothy Cross: Okay.
  David Williams: Okay.
  Steve Hillman: Okay.
  Edwin Smiley: So good luck.
  David Williams: Yep.
