Extracted Content: Cletus Exum: Um minutes from the last meeting which were essentially that we uh had decided on roles for each of you, however, um there are some changes that I've got from on high that
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: um are a bit uh well w what I didn't actually realise it was that the uh this is for a specific television.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: So the all in one idea goes out the window. And
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: they require that the uh actually I'll get to that at the end point number four, um we'll what you've and then we can see what we can adapt from it. So um, presentations, were you anybody got,
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: raring to go?
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: Raring to go? Okay. Good stuff. Mm.
  Robert Phillips: Um.
  Cletus Exum: Oh
  Robert Phillips: So
  Cletus Exum: I need to
  Robert Phillips: how
  Cletus Exum: plug you in.
  Robert Phillips: S
  Christopher Wallace: Wow.
  Cletus Exum: Just about.
  Lee Ulbrich: It's a inspired design.
  Robert Phillips: Sh do you want Robert Phillips to hold it?
  Cletus Exum: Uh there we go, just screw 'em on in. Gonna have to swap them round so now,
  Robert Phillips: So, after that?
  Cletus Exum: it was function F_ eight.
  Robert Phillips: F_ eight.
  Cletus Exum: That's the
  Robert Phillips: f
  Cletus Exum: wee blue one.
  Robert Phillips: oh sorry F_ eight.
  Cletus Exum: Blue one F_ eight. Should
  Robert Phillips: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: do it, good one.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah. Uh, Robert Phillips again, Rajan Robert Phillips. Uh, as we have decided in the last meeting that I have to find out, sorry,
  Cletus Exum: Hold on, sorry.
  Robert Phillips: yeah sure.
  Cletus Exum: and if you just click that it'll go ahead, one
  Robert Phillips: Yeah,
  Cletus Exum: at a time.
  Robert Phillips: yeah. Uh actually, sorry I have to see the other, sorry.
  Cletus Exum: Sorry, uh.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah, thank you. Uh I have look at the market potential for uh, like consumer likings and everything, what is the potential for this product and are we able to achieve our a net profit or our aims or not? Then
  Cletus Exum: P press F_ five to start it first.
  Robert Phillips: Sorry. Okay. Yeah, I can,
  Lee Ulbrich: Hmm.
  Robert Phillips: okay.
  Cletus Exum: Jesus.
  Robert Phillips: Uh then uh the methodology I adopted to find out all this was market survey. A a detailed market survey on consumers was done to find out their likings and dislikings, what they prefer what they not prefer, w what problems they do encounter in all this type of things. And what we got was, we found that if you uh, what they th what problems they are having with different uh remote controls available in the market. Seventy five percent of users they do find it that the remote controls available in the market are ugly. They are not so good looking. So, we have to put stress on this, uh we have to take care of this fact also like our design, uh should be appropriate, should be good looking for the consumers. And yes that's wi uh this will definitely, this can definitely put uh uh enhance our sales. Uh and even uh the good thing about this is that eighty percent of users they are willing to pay high uh pay more for this uh good looking remote controls also. So even if the available market goes for the available uh even if the market goes for the available remote control is less even then we can sell it at twenty five Euros, which maybe which may seem quite high but if our looks are are if the re remote control we design have a good better uh better look uh designs, then we can hope that consumers will prefer these g remote controls.
  Cletus Exum: Excellent.
  Robert Phillips: Then And the second thing, some some companies they think that they should have more and more functions of the users uh or in their remote controls, but rather than those having more functions in the remote controls we should emphasise what actually consumer want, what they operate, rather than making it too complicated. Because mostly it has been found that fifty percent of the users they use only ten percent of the buttons, so there is no point of having ninety percent buttons making the remote controls too bulky, too complicated too expensive a because I think I believe that technology is useful only if uh the consumers they want to use it. Otherwise there is no point of having all this type of things. So this will not only reduce the cost of our remote controls but it will increase our profit also. So we have to take care of this fact also. Then. Uh it was function I want to go to.
  Cletus Exum: Oh you wanna go back? Just escape.
  Robert Phillips: Uh, escape, okay thank you. Then if we look at this slide,
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: uh these are in your shared documents, you can see,
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: like Uh,
  Christopher Wallace: So,
  Robert Phillips: sorry.
  Christopher Wallace: sorry I was just gonna say, what was the question for this? Or is are you coming on to that?
  Robert Phillips: Ah t look all the market potential, what
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: uh how we should design consu our remote controls, what they should be there so as to en enhance our profit, enhance
  Christopher Wallace: So these percentages
  Robert Phillips: our sales.
  Christopher Wallace: are
  Robert Phillips: Yeah,
  Christopher Wallace: are what?
  Robert Phillips: these are different age group persons like uh sorry, I can open it in another way.
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: Uh,
  Cletus Exum: Speech recognition.
  Robert Phillips: yes. If we look at the costs whether the consumers they are willing to uh pay more for speech recognition in a remote control or not, we can find that they up to a thirty five years age group we have a very good disliking for this uh this uh point, like for speech recognition in a remote control. So we can emphasise on this point also like, because it will definitely enhance our sales in this
  Christopher Wallace: Hmm.
  Robert Phillips: ag in this particular age group from uh fifteen to thirty five, and I uh and I think that most of the users of the rem uh T_V_ are belong to this age group.
  Cletus Exum: Hmm.
  Robert Phillips: So we
  Cletus Exum: We're als
  Robert Phillips: should look
  Cletus Exum: we we're looking at who buys it as well.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah. We can look at that that factor also, so yes.
  Cletus Exum: Uh, which I think the twenty five to thirty five is uh usual, sort of.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm,
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: mm.
  Robert Phillips: So, and And then
  Cletus Exum: Fifteen to twe
  Robert Phillips: Yes. I think so. Uh if we look at this data how how uh h how what are the problems the consumers are facing with the existing remote controls in the market. They find that thirt uh thirty five percent uh thirty four percent of the consumers they find too difficult to operate a remote control. So it should be in such a way that it should be easy to learn how to operate these remote controls and we should provide pl uh spe uh proper manuals for its use also so as that people consumers could easily learn. They need not to have any, much technical knowledge
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Robert Phillips: to see uh to know how to operate these remote controls.
  Robert Phillips: So
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: um this is all about uh market potential by Robert Phillips.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Robert Phillips: Uh, yes, th
  Cletus Exum: Okay, thank you.
  Robert Phillips: thank you.
  Cletus Exum: Um, follow on with Helen? Yeah
  Christopher Wallace: Yep, sure,
  Cletus Exum: please.
  Christopher Wallace: that's cool, um
  Robert Phillips: Yeah we have to
  Cletus Exum: Oh,
  Robert Phillips: take
  Cletus Exum: so
  Robert Phillips: that
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: we do yeah.
  Robert Phillips: out. Sorry.
  Cletus Exum: Fun and games.
  Robert Phillips: Sorry.
  Cletus Exum: Don't know if the cable's gonna be long enough.
  Robert Phillips: Uh sorry,
  Cletus Exum: I think
  Robert Phillips: I
  Cletus Exum: I
  Robert Phillips: have.
  Cletus Exum: just kicked over whatever it runs on underneath as well.
  Robert Phillips: Brian, this one also I. Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: I
  Robert Phillips: Thank
  Christopher Wallace: can
  Robert Phillips: you
  Christopher Wallace: turn
  Robert Phillips: very much
  Christopher Wallace: my
  Robert Phillips: Brian.
  Christopher Wallace: computer quickly if that's okay.
  Robert Phillips: If you want Robert Phillips to help,
  Christopher Wallace: Um,
  Robert Phillips: yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: yep.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay, and then what do I press, F_ eight?
  Robert Phillips: Uh F_ eight.
  Cletus Exum: Function
  Robert Phillips: Function
  Cletus Exum: F_ eight.
  Robert Phillips: F_ eight.
  Christopher Wallace: Oh right.
  Robert Phillips: Mm s.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay cool.
  Robert Phillips: It's not coming.
  Christopher Wallace: Oh.
  Robert Phillips: Function F_ eight, okay. Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah. No signal.
  Cletus Exum: Hmm.
  Robert Phillips: Computer.
  Cletus Exum: There you go.
  Robert Phillips: Computer adjusting,
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: Cool. Okay
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: and then how do I press the the big one, to get it on
  Cletus Exum: Uh
  Christopher Wallace: to the big
  Cletus Exum: F_ five.
  Christopher Wallace: F_ five and I press that again to get it off as well
  Cletus Exum: Um,
  Christopher Wallace: do
  Robert Phillips: Escape.
  Christopher Wallace: I?
  Cletus Exum: F_ five and escape'll bring it back and just uh the left button for advancing.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay, so um I'm the interface design designer, User Interface Designer sorry, uh I'm concerned with um w what effect the apparatus should have on the user and um I'm I'm also I want to point out that our motto, put the fashion in electronics, so obviously we as a company we want to make our products trendy and fashionable, it's a big concern of ours. Okay, and how do I press n just the next button?
  Cletus Exum: Uh just
  Christopher Wallace: The arrow?
  Cletus Exum: a left uh
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: left
  Christopher Wallace: So
  Cletus Exum: mouse button.
  Christopher Wallace: um I looked at existing designs and also um the information that Raj gave us was very useful about what people like, what people dislike. Um and what people fashionable, because we said people between twenty five and thirty five
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: were the main um buyers of of our T_V_ I think.
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: So um what they like and what they find fashionable.
  Cletus Exum: 'Kay.
  Christopher Wallace: And ergonomics, we said um, I don't know I haven't actually been able to do any of this myself, but um maybe that comes up, I don't know.
  Cletus Exum: That can come under
  Christopher Wallace: And
  Cletus Exum: Arlo as
  Christopher Wallace: the
  Cletus Exum: well.
  Christopher Wallace: findings, well the basic that was the basic function to send messages to the television set. That's
  Cletus Exum: Uh.
  Christopher Wallace: what people want to do. Um, so they need to be included, um, but I've got some pictures here of some leading ones. I don't know how to get to them, do I press
  Cletus Exum: Uh
  Christopher Wallace: F_
  Cletus Exum: if
  Christopher Wallace: five
  Cletus Exum: you
  Christopher Wallace: is it?
  Cletus Exum: if you escape
  Christopher Wallace: escape?
  Cletus Exum: then you can see your bar.
  Christopher Wallace: Oh okay, cool. I haven't got my glasses on so I hope it's this one. These
  Cletus Exum: Uh
  Christopher Wallace: are two
  Cletus Exum: okay.
  Christopher Wallace: leading um remote controls at the moment. You know
  Cletus Exum: 'Kay.
  Christopher Wallace: they're grey, they've I mean this one's got loads of buttons, it's hard to tell from here what they actually do, and they don't look very exciting at all. Um, personally I prefer this one just because it's looks easier use, it's a bit more sleek with more of this silver stuff,
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: um, but there you go, that's what we're up against, and I think we can do much better than that.
  Lee Ulbrich: Of course.
  Christopher Wallace: Um
  Cletus Exum: We hope so.
  Christopher Wallace: hang on. F_ five, okay, sorry. Personal preferences. Um, well I think we need to l I think the ergonomics is quite um important, um
  Cletus Exum: Yeah, particularly if we've uh there was a bit in Raj's about R_S_I_ and things as well.
  Christopher Wallace: Uh-huh.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: And um I thought not too edgy and like a box, more kind of hand-held more um not as uh computery and
  Cletus Exum: Organic.
  Christopher Wallace: or organic, yeah, more organic shape I think. Um simple designs, like the last one we just saw, not too many buttons and as Raj pointed out, only ten percent fifty percent of people only use ten percent of the buttons,
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: so I think what we can miss out on the buttons we can make up for in
  Cletus Exum: Sales,
  Christopher Wallace: design and and how nice it looks.
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: Um, hand-held and portable I think is portamint is important because T_F_T_ have just um released um I think is it a a remote control for presentations or uh and
  Cletus Exum: Yeah
  Christopher Wallace: a big
  Cletus Exum: it's
  Christopher Wallace: seven
  Cletus Exum: like a,
  Christopher Wallace: inch
  Cletus Exum: yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: big screen, anyway, so um
  Cletus Exum: It's.
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah, no seven inches isn't that big but um anyway um so hand-held and portable and uh m
  Cletus Exum: Right.
  Christopher Wallace: I thought about other functions for T_V_ but as you pointed out people don't actually want that, so
  Cletus Exum: And
  Christopher Wallace: maybe
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: we
  Cletus Exum: also
  Christopher Wallace: forget about that.
  Cletus Exum: the company want to keep it stuck to the T_V_ for uh to keep down the
  Christopher Wallace: It's
  Cletus Exum: production
  Christopher Wallace: for one
  Cletus Exum: time.
  Christopher Wallace: T_V_ oh right okay, sure. And so the last thing I thought w which I quickly mentioned in the other one was maybe a bit of a gimmick to
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: set us apart from other people, like glow-in-the-dark
  Robert Phillips: Exactly.
  Christopher Wallace: um
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: which does already e exist but it's not very
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: widely used I don't think. Easy finder with the a whistle function
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: or something, or rechargeable station because it's a pain when you run out of batteries.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: And I think that, yep, that's it.
  Cletus Exum: That's cool.
  Lee Ulbrich: So
  Christopher Wallace: Okay?
  Lee Ulbrich: uh, I noticed your talk about speech recognition and whistling,
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: and uh I was just curious to know, have we done any research into how many people can whistle? Um, or if is that a function we want in the remote?
  Christopher Wallace: Um,
  Cletus Exum: Um,
  Christopher Wallace: I haven't
  Cletus Exum: do you have
  Christopher Wallace: been
  Cletus Exum: trouble
  Christopher Wallace: able to
  Cletus Exum: whistling?
  Lee Ulbrich: I don't, but I I know a lot of people do right.
  Cletus Exum: Really? Ooh.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah it just I mean it has to be a certain kind of whistle too, right?
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm,
  Cletus Exum: Yeah, I suppose
  Christopher Wallace: yeah
  Cletus Exum: that's true.
  Christopher Wallace: or
  Cletus Exum: Well
  Christopher Wallace: some
  Cletus Exum: I suppo
  Christopher Wallace: sort
  Cletus Exum: uh you could
  Christopher Wallace: of
  Cletus Exum: y you could
  Christopher Wallace: voice
  Cletus Exum: have the you could have the basically um instead of a whistle if it's got the voice recognition you could have it just, you know, where are you?
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: That's costly though. Um a much easier thing is just any loud noise like clapping
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: um,
  Cletus Exum: Hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: shouting,
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: you know,
  Cletus Exum: Sounds
  Lee Ulbrich: uh
  Cletus Exum: good.
  Lee Ulbrich: and then, what would the response be? It beeps back at you or something?
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah, something.
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay. Well, uh let Robert Phillips set this up. So I plug it in, press F_ five? Function F_ five?
  Cletus Exum: Function F_ eight for the um
  Lee Ulbrich: Or function F_ eight?
  Cletus Exum: the uh
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: Oh you need to twiddle the thingamibobsy thing.
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay. I think it's uh just to lock it in.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: It's got it.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay. Um. So as Lee Ulbrich my job is to take an input from you guys,
  Cletus Exum: Alright.
  Lee Ulbrich: um so it's good you went first, and
  Cletus Exum: Let's
  Lee Ulbrich: I jotted
  Cletus Exum: remember
  Lee Ulbrich: down some
  Cletus Exum: that.
  Lee Ulbrich: notes as to what are the b needs and uh what kind of novel features we can add to differentiate our product from the others. Um so Raj told us that uh consumers are willing to spend more for fancy products, and um he also mentioned that uh the current products don't always match users' operating behaviour. Um, a lot of the buttons aren't used, and uh he mentioned that they're not fun to use. And uh a novel feature which uh we just brought up was this this automatic speech recognition feature or noise detection feature for when you lose the remote, there could be a little microphone on it, and any noise over a certain threshold um it'll pick up as a a distress signal um
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: from you and it'll beep back and say you know oh here I am or
  Cletus Exum: But
  Lee Ulbrich: something
  Cletus Exum: sure
  Lee Ulbrich: of this
  Cletus Exum: surely
  Lee Ulbrich: sort.
  Cletus Exum: that would have to be um sort of specific rather than above a threshold 'cause if you had a loud movie on you're likely
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: to get it
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh
  Cletus Exum: beeping
  Lee Ulbrich: yeah,
  Cletus Exum: back at you.
  Lee Ulbrich: yeah,
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: that's true. Well maybe you could have a um hmm tha that would be a consideration to take into account yes. Um.
  Cletus Exum: Sorry I didn't mean to derail you there.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah well tha that's uh for later down the road um, and then as for the user interface it should be trendy, um and not computery, right, so more low tech and not too many buttons.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: So I took these all into consideration and also I have some limitations from the boss. Right um, and practical limitations which I kinda threw out the window. And so I did a little research and unfortunately all I had to work on was our uh our corporate archives of the great products we've made before, which include, you know, um space craft, coffee makers, and bullet trains
  Cletus Exum: Ah is
  Lee Ulbrich: Or
  Cletus Exum: that what
  Lee Ulbrich: uh
  Cletus Exum: that is?
  Lee Ulbrich: or a high speed train. Right and having personally worked with all these products uh I have a great deal of experience with uh
  Cletus Exum: Well
  Lee Ulbrich: with industrial
  Cletus Exum: that's cool.
  Lee Ulbrich: design of
  Cletus Exum: If
  Lee Ulbrich: these.
  Cletus Exum: you if you can build space craft you'll have no problem with a
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Cletus Exum: remote control,
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah sure.
  Cletus Exum: yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: So, I figured, just put 'em all together. You got a a caffeine powered space shuttle train transport to your T_V_, and um
  Robert Phillips: Hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: as for the user interface problem, you know, too many buttons. Give it one button and and it's a you know, for the the cowboy in all of us I I'm not quite sure what the the function is there
  Cletus Exum: Right
  Christopher Wallace: Well
  Lee Ulbrich: but
  Christopher Wallace: I like
  Cletus Exum: okay.
  Christopher Wallace: that design.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah it's a g I mean you could have a you know a
  Cletus Exum: Is that just switches on the speech recognition and it's entirely speech operated, is it?
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: So I think I I missed the budget thing, it was fifty million Euros?
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: And we gotta sell twenty five of them?
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah,
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Christopher Wallace: not a problem.
  Robert Phillips: Fifty
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay.
  Robert Phillips: million
  Cletus Exum: Ah now
  Robert Phillips: was
  Cletus Exum: it's fif
  Robert Phillips: uh
  Cletus Exum: fifty
  Robert Phillips: prof
  Cletus Exum: million Euros we've gotta uh
  Robert Phillips: As a profit.
  Cletus Exum: we've
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh okay,
  Cletus Exum: g
  Lee Ulbrich: so I I
  Cletus Exum: gotta
  Lee Ulbrich: mixed
  Cletus Exum: make
  Lee Ulbrich: those
  Cletus Exum: profit,
  Lee Ulbrich: numbers.
  Cletus Exum: so we're making that at twelve and a half
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: Euros a time.
  Lee Ulbrich: Well I guess more realistically then, we need a product that's got some kinda nifty outer casing, cheap plastic uh, you know, um
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: that should be just like uh a tenth of the price maybe or less. An energy source which'd probably just be uh your regular batteries
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: um, we don't
  Cletus Exum: Would
  Lee Ulbrich: wanna
  Cletus Exum: it
  Lee Ulbrich: have
  Cletus Exum: be
  Lee Ulbrich: it
  Cletus Exum: possible to have the rechargeable idea? Is that is
  Lee Ulbrich: Uh.
  Cletus Exum: that gonna
  Christopher Wallace: Or
  Cletus Exum: mark
  Christopher Wallace: a little
  Cletus Exum: up
  Christopher Wallace: base
  Cletus Exum: a lot?
  Christopher Wallace: station or
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: something,
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah, yeah, we could do that too. Um, I hadn't thought of that. Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: That might cost more though, 'cause obviously with batteries we don't need to provide, well we provide the first batteries, but
  Cletus Exum: Yeah, yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: it's more, it's that's cheaper
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Cletus Exum: I mean
  Christopher Wallace: to
  Cletus Exum: if
  Christopher Wallace: just
  Cletus Exum: you think
  Christopher Wallace: provide
  Cletus Exum: about
  Christopher Wallace: batteries.
  Cletus Exum: these base stations now it's essentially just a a lead with a sort of
  Christopher Wallace: A
  Cletus Exum: self
  Christopher Wallace: battery in it,
  Cletus Exum: connecting
  Christopher Wallace: kinda.
  Cletus Exum: brake in it, so
  Lee Ulbrich: Right,
  Cletus Exum: I don't
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: so
  Cletus Exum: think it'd up up
  Lee Ulbrich: so the
  Cletus Exum: the price that much.
  Lee Ulbrich: unirs
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: the user interface uh the canonical user interface for these would be just a bunch of buttons, but since we're a cutting edge company, we uh of course will have alternatives like uh speech recognition, whistling recognition and rocket power
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: behind our product. Um and lastly the transmission interface is uh, just some engineering thing you don't have to worry about.
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: Um so here's you know, a great schematic that my uh apprentice designer gave Robert Phillips. Um as you can see the the remote control have parts and those parts look like that and um you know it's got a little operating procedure that looks something like that. And I suppose you all know how it works because we've all used it and we wouldn't be in a company designing remote controls if we didn't know what they were so uh personal preferences, I think uh programmable options which um just require a small amount of memory, uh non volatile memory, just um
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Lee Ulbrich: so the user can put in their favourite channels and maybe their preferred volume settings so that when they turn it on it's not blasting.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm that's a good idea actually I like the programmable
  Robert Phillips: Yeah,
  Christopher Wallace: options.
  Robert Phillips: Robert Phillips too.
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh okay. And the uh, the bells and whistles that we mentioned you know, they take more budgeting, um more technical uh expenditure of effort and it's also much more likely to not work if
  Cletus Exum: Right.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm 'kay.
  Lee Ulbrich: if we add these bells and whistles.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: That's all I got.
  Cletus Exum: 'Kay, thank you very much, um I'll take that back.
  Lee Ulbrich: Ooh that's tight.
  Cletus Exum: Right, also so um a notice I got not very long before the meeting, so didn't manage to forward it on to you, it is let's see, I'll find it myself, um Ta
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay, I don't think we need to screw it in.
  Cletus Exum: nah.
  Lee Ulbrich: Just push it.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: We had that um to dis-include teletext um because it's become outdated, and everybody uses the internet anyway.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: Um, dunno what Oracle would have to say with that but never mind. Um it's only for the television, which I'm presuming means it's for a specific television,
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: and um instead of colours and sorta colour options, they want corporate colour and slogan somehow implemented in the new design.
  Christopher Wallace: Corporate colour.
  Cletus Exum: Yellow.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yellow.
  Cletus Exum: I presume. Um, everything, all their sort of uh you know the uh corporate website and everything's yellow.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: electronics uh I don't know exactly how sort of incorpor I mean, I guess if you're going for a sort of globular shape you could kind of have it working its way round it or
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: something. Uh,
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: where am I? Okay, so, we have to decide on which functions we're going to actually have.
  Christopher Wallace: 'Kay.
  Cletus Exum: Uh, now, we had as listed options we had speech recognition potentially, flat screen interface, L_C_D_ interface um we also want to limit the number of buttons
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: so we'll pretty much take that one as read. We'll
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: use the the basic functions for a television. No teletext. Um okay
  Christopher Wallace: Although
  Cletus Exum: hold
  Christopher Wallace: the
  Cletus Exum: on.
  Christopher Wallace: the danger with that is, it could look a bit cheap.
  Cletus Exum: Not enough buttons you mean?
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah. Well
  Cletus Exum: So sorta strike a balance between a a few and a
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Cletus Exum: or it looks like we're just cutting on the um
  Christopher Wallace: On the number of buttons, kind of
  Cletus Exum: I
  Christopher Wallace: functions
  Cletus Exum: do however
  Christopher Wallace: and stuff.
  Cletus Exum: have this from over my head,
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm, okay.
  Cletus Exum: that they don't want teletext on it.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay, cool.
  Cletus Exum: Uh maybe Raj you could find out what people would think about that, or maybe they'll send
  Robert Phillips: About
  Cletus Exum: some information
  Robert Phillips: cost.
  Cletus Exum: about that, about um what people, whether people would require um teletext in a remote teletext option in a remote control.
  Robert Phillips: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: Okay um. So uh I take it your position Arlo is that the bells and whistles we've gotta come up with the a gimmick but not too complicated a gimmick.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah yeah.
  Cletus Exum: Um so I mean a a the sort of inkling I'm getting from little bits of um web chatter that I'm getting sent is that they're quite interested in a T_F_T_ display, interactive display. However that does sound a bit like the more complicated design that rav uh sorry Raj um said people didn't like.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm,
  Cletus Exum: Although
  Christopher Wallace: mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: I guess if there's a sort of If you think about standard interfaces that people use already, sort of Windows-style
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: drop down menus or whatever, I think maybe that's a
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: bit, going a bit far but you know like in a basic sense that you could have your basic selection of buttons, and if you hit a sort of menu at the top you have um it goes to a different selection of buttons,
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: so it sorta keeps it simple.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: Um glow in the dark, is that sort of with a light inside it or is it sort of
  Christopher Wallace: Um
  Cletus Exum: glow in the dark material?
  Robert Phillips: Uh.
  Christopher Wallace: Glow in the dark material
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: I was thinking.
  Cletus Exum: So
  Christopher Wallace: Um,
  Robert Phillips: I
  Christopher Wallace: so I I guess that would be cheaper than a light
  Robert Phillips: Uh may
  Christopher Wallace: I
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: think.
  Robert Phillips: I say something about?
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Robert Phillips: Uh actually I think it's really really very important point uh as if we look at the market because people mor fifty percent people they find that the remote controls are often lost somewhere in the remote, in the room. But
  Christopher Wallace: Often lost s was
  Cletus Exum: Lost,
  Christopher Wallace: that,
  Robert Phillips: yeah
  Christopher Wallace: yeah.
  Robert Phillips: are
  Cletus Exum: yeah.
  Robert Phillips: lost and means they forget where they have kept the remote control last time.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Robert Phillips: But if we add speech recognition as well as glow in the dark then both these factors will help their locating the
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Robert Phillips: remote control, like if they come and speak something at the remote control uh replies to something something and it glows in the dark. Both these factors uh both these points will help them to locate the
  Cletus Exum: That's
  Robert Phillips: where
  Cletus Exum: cool.
  Robert Phillips: they have
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm,
  Robert Phillips: kept this remote control,
  Christopher Wallace: mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: That's
  Robert Phillips: and
  Cletus Exum: cool.
  Robert Phillips: this will definitely enhance our uh market sales, so we should take it into consideration also.
  Cletus Exum: Okay, cool. Um
  Lee Ulbrich: Well hmm.
  Cletus Exum: speech recognition I take it
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh
  Cletus Exum: I don't,
  Lee Ulbrich: it's
  Cletus Exum: I've I know of no products um
  Lee Ulbrich: They're act
  Cletus Exum: that
  Lee Ulbrich: there
  Cletus Exum: use
  Lee Ulbrich: there
  Cletus Exum: speech
  Lee Ulbrich: was
  Cletus Exum: recognition
  Lee Ulbrich: a remote control
  Cletus Exum: well.
  Lee Ulbrich: that came out two years ago that had a some basic speech recognition on it. You could programme it with your channels and then you say you know like uh B_B_C_ one and it goes to that channel.
  Cletus Exum: Really?
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah, it didn't work very well though because of this noise interference problem.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: They mentioned you know if the television says you are listening to B_B_C_ one.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah, or a yeah an advert an advert for B_B_C_ two on B_B_C_ one'll switch the channel for you kinda thing.
  Lee Ulbrich: Right, right, and so there was a lot of this, you'd be watching the T_V_ and then all of a sudden it'd it'd pick up a noise and turn it off or you know
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: or
  Cletus Exum: Mm.
  Lee Ulbrich: turn the volume off or something,
  Christopher Wallace: 'Kay.
  Lee Ulbrich: but if you can work around that that noise problem
  Cletus Exum: Uh-huh.
  Christopher Wallace: Well what about this might get a bit too expensive actually, but what about um something that's built into the T_V_ um that you can press and it'll send out a little signal you know like the ones that we can't hear or something
  Cletus Exum: Ah, that's a good idea.
  Christopher Wallace: um that that will activate the remote control starts
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Christopher Wallace: to beep.
  Cletus Exum: So like a kind
  Christopher Wallace: If
  Cletus Exum: of
  Christopher Wallace: you find
  Cletus Exum: backwards
  Christopher Wallace: if y
  Cletus Exum: remote from the telly.
  Lee Ulbrich: Right
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: and then it would do just you know, uh subtractive kind of cancellation of the noise. What you could do then would be you have uh a remote controlled by the T_V_ speaker, or not a remo I'm sorry, a microphone by the T_V_ speaker and a transmitter there that sends back to your remote, 'cause you can't um expect uh the the television manufacturers to
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Lee Ulbrich: to put that feature into their
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah,
  Lee Ulbrich: T_V_s.
  Christopher Wallace: that's the only thing, yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: But
  Cletus Exum: Right.
  Lee Ulbrich: yeah, then you have like the little se separate module by
  Cletus Exum: That
  Lee Ulbrich: the
  Cletus Exum: we
  Lee Ulbrich: T_V_
  Cletus Exum: should just stick
  Lee Ulbrich: speaker
  Cletus Exum: on, yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: That
  Lee Ulbrich: which
  Christopher Wallace: comes with our remote control.
  Lee Ulbrich: Right,
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: and then
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: the remote control would know um
  Cletus Exum: And that's
  Lee Ulbrich: what's
  Cletus Exum: a
  Lee Ulbrich: being produced by
  Cletus Exum: sort
  Lee Ulbrich: the television.
  Cletus Exum: of basic R_F_ kind
  Lee Ulbrich: Right,
  Cletus Exum: of
  Lee Ulbrich: right.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: frequency so it'll be cheap.
  Lee Ulbrich: Right, right. Um. Yeah that's certainly possible then an another thing was about this losing the remote and trying to find it again. If you do have this sorta speech interface to it, you don't even need to find it. You just say you know, um whatever you whatever you want the remote for, you know to change the channel or to uh turn the T_V_ on and off, you just shout your command to it and it would do it for you if it's within you know, within hearing range.
  Cletus Exum: Uh-huh.
  Lee Ulbrich: And uh you know it could be somewhere in the room y that you've no idea where it is and it would still do its job.
  Christopher Wallace: That could also be built into the T_V_ though, which might make our remote control a bit obsolete.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: Well, hopefully
  Cletus Exum: It might
  Lee Ulbrich: we're
  Cletus Exum: do
  Lee Ulbrich: uh
  Cletus Exum: us out of a job.
  Lee Ulbrich: we're ahead
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah,
  Lee Ulbrich: of the curve.
  Christopher Wallace: okay.
  Cletus Exum: Um Okay. I like the whole sort of remote feedback thing. Um so I think rather than and that also kind of takes out the speech recognition
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Cletus Exum: in terms of the interference of it not working very well and things like that,
  Lee Ulbrich: Hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: And the expense.
  Cletus Exum: so I th yeah and expense
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: and the time. So I think if we're going to go well I mean like the thing about the there's the problem with the T_F_T_ or the L_C_D_ kind of thing is if you're also wanting the the kind of uh organic globby sort of feeling to it then you might have trouble incorporating the screen.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Cletus Exum: Um, but I guess not I thin we'll just we'll just pretend that's not a problem. Um uh and how are you about the glow in the dark material? Is that
  Lee Ulbrich: Um.
  Christopher Wallace: Maybe not even all of it 'cause we said um colours and fashion w were important so maybe um just like a little l line that's kind of around the outside
  Lee Ulbrich: Mm.
  Christopher Wallace: and then you can make the rest a different
  Cletus Exum: Contrast
  Christopher Wallace: colour.
  Cletus Exum: contra
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah,
  Cletus Exum: well.
  Lee Ulbrich: no th the material's cheap but it's just uh the the glow in the dark material needs some light to charge it you know,
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: and
  Cletus Exum: Yeah,
  Lee Ulbrich: then uh
  Cletus Exum: okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: if you're,
  Cletus Exum: So if
  Lee Ulbrich: if
  Cletus Exum: it's
  Lee Ulbrich: you're
  Cletus Exum: dow
  Lee Ulbrich: sitting
  Cletus Exum: it's
  Lee Ulbrich: in the dark
  Cletus Exum: d uh
  Lee Ulbrich: for
  Cletus Exum: yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: too long it uh it won't glow
  Cletus Exum: Or
  Lee Ulbrich: any
  Cletus Exum: if
  Lee Ulbrich: more.
  Cletus Exum: it's down under the couch cushions
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Cletus Exum: um which is where I usually find mine.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Cletus Exum: Um Okay, well we can use we can still use the glow in the dark as a gimmick essentially,
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah, 'cause
  Cletus Exum: um
  Christopher Wallace: what I thought, main
  Cletus Exum: if we're gonna have to if we're gonna have the logo on as well, bright yellow logo in our our um slogan.
  Christopher Wallace: Slogan, yeah.
  Cletus Exum: Uh then you know they're gonna be fairly brightly coloured anyway, and
  Christopher Wallace: Right.
  Cletus Exum: we can have sort of a a a trimming as well, of
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: the glow in the dark material, just as gimmickyness.
  Christopher Wallace: 'Cause yeah, that w more than finding it, that was more like you know if you're watching a film in the dark,
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: you can um
  Lee Ulbrich: Mm-hmm.
  Christopher Wallace: still see the remote control.
  Cletus Exum: Alright, so n sorta
  Christopher Wallace: That was more
  Cletus Exum: if
  Christopher Wallace: of a
  Cletus Exum: if
  Christopher Wallace: a gimmick.
  Cletus Exum: if we're gon if we're gonna go with the idea of um uh of feedback, sort of remote finder, then that kinda stuffs that one out then. Do you think?
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Cletus Exum: Uh it makes it fairly unnecessary then.
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah, unnecessary.
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: Um, okay so scratch that. Uh so we've got do we want to go with the T_F_T_ idea or the
  Lee Ulbrich: Um
  Cletus Exum: is that
  Lee Ulbrich: yeah we're getting
  Cletus Exum: far
  Lee Ulbrich: a lot
  Cletus Exum: too
  Lee Ulbrich: of features
  Cletus Exum: expensive?
  Lee Ulbrich: now, I I think
  Cletus Exum: Well I mean I think I think the sort of find the finder things I mean it's uh I could probably write the circuit diagram for that myself.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: Um
  Lee Ulbrich: Well, I think a consideration too is that these uh remotes get abused a lot, you know they get thrown
  Christopher Wallace: Mm.
  Lee Ulbrich: around, there's a good chance the the T_F_T_ screen would break
  Cletus Exum: Mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: or uh get damaged. They're pretty fragile.
  Christopher Wallace: So is
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: that one of our definite requirements that they wa that it needs a T_F_T_
  Cletus Exum: Um
  Christopher Wallace: screen?
  Cletus Exum: no, I mean that was going on ravs uh Raj's sort of um marketing research I guess. Um Uh So we'll stick with sort of programmability um for the buttons that we do have. Um. So that's sort of included in your sub-module kind of stuff, um
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah mm.
  Cletus Exum: Uh you were finding out about teletext. If you
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: could find out that uh
  Robert Phillips: Totally, it takes cheap speech recognition, she
  Cletus Exum: Um I think
  Robert Phillips: they
  Cletus Exum: we're gonna
  Robert Phillips: wi
  Cletus Exum: scratch the speech recognition as a bit of a
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh.
  Cletus Exum: um
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah you think so?
  Cletus Exum: expensive, no?
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh no it's it's much cheaper than the T_F_T_, it's just a microphone
  Cletus Exum: Oh right, okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: and some some integrated circuits.
  Cletus Exum: Is it
  Lee Ulbrich: And
  Cletus Exum: not
  Lee Ulbrich: it'd
  Cletus Exum: the circuits
  Lee Ulbrich: it'd be a small
  Cletus Exum: that
  Lee Ulbrich: vocabulary
  Cletus Exum: cost
  Lee Ulbrich: speech recognition system, like a
  Cletus Exum: Oh right, okay. Uh
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: well that kind of takes back the R_F_ the R_F_ remote sort of idea as well. Um. Five minutes. Okay. Decisions. Uh, votes, let's vote. Who wants T_F_T_? No-one does. Excellent, so we'll go with speech recognition, yeah?
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm,
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: that's
  Cletus Exum: Um,
  Christopher Wallace: cool.
  Cletus Exum: speech recognition, limited buttons, organic design.
  Christopher Wallace: Um
  Cletus Exum: And what else was I thinking of that I haven't written down and therefore fallen out my head, programmability.
  Robert Phillips: Glow in dark.
  Cletus Exum: Uh
  Christopher Wallace: if it's not too expensive s I think it's a good
  Cletus Exum: Uh
  Christopher Wallace: gimmick.
  Cletus Exum: o
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: okay. And also, integrating the, remember to integrate the logo and the s slogan.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm.
  Cletus Exum: Okay, so. Um can you put all these reports in the project documents folder if they're not already in there as well. So, it just helps Robert Phillips
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah
  Robert Phillips: Here?
  Cletus Exum: summarize
  Lee Ulbrich: yeah.
  Cletus Exum: them.
  Robert Phillips: Sure.
  Cletus Exum: And um I'll put any I'm I'm putting anything I do in there anyway, so uh
  Christopher Wallace: And where is it sorry?
  Cletus Exum: Uh pro uh project documents. On
  Lee Ulbrich: So it should be when you save
  Cletus Exum: A_M_I_ scenario controller.
  Lee Ulbrich: on your desktop, so it goes save as,
  Christopher Wallace: Oh.
  Lee Ulbrich: or
  Robert Phillips: Uh it is in shared documents?
  Lee Ulbrich: And then uh hit that little folder up thing
  Cletus Exum: Where
  Lee Ulbrich: again.
  Cletus Exum: am I?
  Robert Phillips: Projoct
  Cletus Exum: Project
  Robert Phillips: uh projector.
  Lee Ulbrich: Again.
  Cletus Exum: documents, yeah, it's on your desktop
  Lee Ulbrich: All the
  Cletus Exum: as
  Lee Ulbrich: way
  Cletus Exum: well.
  Lee Ulbrich: to the top, yeah that's up to desktop. Right and then project documents.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay, cool.
  Robert Phillips: Hmm. It is not giving anything. Shared documents.
  Cletus Exum: And I will tr getting strings of um information, I'll try and forward any specific to anybody in particular, as soon as I get them now, rather than I was about to sort of tell you about the changes before the meeting, and then the meeting turned up, so
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Lee Ulbrich: Mm. Did you get my email?
  Cletus Exum: I did.
  Lee Ulbrich: Okay. Just making sure.
  Christopher Wallace: Okay.
  Cletus Exum: So
  Christopher Wallace: What I thought as well about the material is um maybe not this kind of material, but maybe more like um this kind of rubbery material, it's a bit more bouncy, like you said they get chucked around a lot. Um, a bit more durable and
  Cletus Exum: Okay.
  Christopher Wallace: that can also be ergonomic and it kind of feels a bit different
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: from all the other remote controls. The rubber
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: rather than
  Cletus Exum: More sort of um flesh-like than plasticky sort of.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
  Lee Ulbrich: Wow.
  Robert Phillips: Um but we have to take care like But we have to take care of our children also if they means if children catch hold of your or if they chew it it shouldn't be too harmful. So, whatever material we use
  Cletus Exum: Oh no, ethics,
  Robert Phillips: it should be
  Cletus Exum: that's
  Robert Phillips: yeah.
  Cletus Exum: gonna cost us money.
  Robert Phillips: So we have to safety point of view also,
  Cletus Exum: Okay,
  Robert Phillips: we have to
  Cletus Exum: safety.
  Robert Phillips: take care.
  Christopher Wallace: Oh I think wi with the more organic shape of it it won't be as it won't as have many sharp corners as that, so that's something
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: good, um I dunno,
  Cletus Exum: It
  Lee Ulbrich: We
  Cletus Exum: sme
  Lee Ulbrich: could
  Christopher Wallace: I mean
  Lee Ulbrich: go
  Cletus Exum: smells
  Lee Ulbrich: comp
  Cletus Exum: good for children.
  Lee Ulbrich: yeah.
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Lee Ulbrich: We could go completely out of the box and make the thing a big red ball foam ball. And it's got the thing on the inside. And there's no buttons at all, it's always on, and just yell at it,
  Christopher Wallace: That's
  Lee Ulbrich: and it works.
  Christopher Wallace: a good
  Cletus Exum: That
  Christopher Wallace: idea.
  Cletus Exum: sounds,
  Lee Ulbrich: And then
  Cletus Exum: yeah
  Lee Ulbrich: ch children
  Christopher Wallace: Interesting.
  Cletus Exum: it's gonna
  Lee Ulbrich: will
  Cletus Exum: have
  Lee Ulbrich: love
  Cletus Exum: to be
  Lee Ulbrich: it.
  Cletus Exum: it's gonna be have a big yellow
  Lee Ulbrich: Oh
  Cletus Exum: foam
  Lee Ulbrich: yellow,
  Cletus Exum: ball,
  Lee Ulbrich: yellow
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah,
  Cletus Exum: yeah,
  Lee Ulbrich: ball.
  Christopher Wallace: d
  Cletus Exum: sorry.
  Lee Ulbrich: Right.
  Christopher Wallace: with the colour, um does it have to be all yellow, do you know?
  Cletus Exum: Please God no. Um.
  Christopher Wallace: No.
  Cletus Exum: Well, I wouldn't th I mean, my reaction to an all-yellow remote control wouldn't be anything other than horror, so
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: I think just having it
  Robert Phillips: Small
  Christopher Wallace: Having
  Cletus Exum: surrounding
  Robert Phillips: logo
  Christopher Wallace: a little bit.
  Cletus Exum: the logo.
  Robert Phillips: with
  Christopher Wallace: Okay
  Robert Phillips: the
  Christopher Wallace: cool.
  Robert Phillips: like a small yellow strip or y yellow with the
  Christopher Wallace: Mm
  Robert Phillips: logo
  Christopher Wallace: mm.
  Robert Phillips: in it.
  Cletus Exum: Yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: Mm-hmm, okay. Cool.
  Cletus Exum: And I'll see if I can argue with boss about putting the what was it? We put we put fashion into Whoops, it's not working. Can't believe I've forgotten it. We put the fashion in electronics.
  Christopher Wallace: Oh yeah, that's
  Cletus Exum: I
  Christopher Wallace: a good one that. Yeah
  Cletus Exum: bet
  Christopher Wallace: so.
  Cletus Exum: that'll catch on well. Okay, any last
  Robert Phillips: Yeah.
  Cletus Exum: worries, queries?
  Lee Ulbrich: Twelve thirty.
  Cletus Exum: Okay. S
  Robert Phillips: Hmm.
  Cletus Exum: s I know what you're thinking. Okay then, lunchtime, yay.
  Robert Phillips: That's good.
  Cletus Exum: Okay, that felt a bit more like a something with order and and reason to it than the last one. This is quite fun actually.
  Christopher Wallace: Wow.
  Lee Ulbrich: Mm.
  Christopher Wallace: Has anybo oh.
  Cletus Exum: I really
  Christopher Wallace: Has anybody
  Cletus Exum: don't
  Christopher Wallace: pressed okay, it vibrates. It's
  Cletus Exum: Yeah,
  Christopher Wallace: pretty
  Cletus Exum: yeah.
  Christopher Wallace: cool.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yep.
  Robert Phillips: Check here.
  Cletus Exum: Wow you've your first page. I
  Christopher Wallace: Yeah,
  Cletus Exum: was just writing really
  Christopher Wallace: got small
  Cletus Exum: big.
  Christopher Wallace: writing.
  Lee Ulbrich: Yeah I've been using up the pages.
  Christopher Wallace: I don't wanna waste it.
  Cletus Exum: I've finished the meeting now. Oh, everybody
  Lee Ulbrich: Another
  Cletus Exum: needs
  Lee Ulbrich: questionnaire.
  Cletus Exum: k questionnaire.
Updated Content: Robert Phillips presented requirements of users as found in a company market study. The study showed that users want a fancier-looking but uncomplicated remote control, and are interested in speech recognition. He presented the age groups polled and said that the target marketing group should be users aged fifteen to thirty-five. Christopher Wallace presented several competitors' remotes and discussed the features that would make their own device more user-friendly. Lee Ulbrich gave a presentation on important internal components that would keep the project within its budget, and discussed possible materials and programmable features. Cletus Exum gave several new requirements for the project to the group. The group discussed the features they would like to incorporate into the design in light of the new requirements and budget constraints. They decided to keep speech recognition as one of their components, and decided to include some programmable features, limit the number of button functions, and make the remote yellow and glow-in-the-dark, in an organic shape. The Program Manager said that he would ask to what extent the company motto had to be incorporated into the design.
