Extracted Content: Kaitlyn Huerta: Uh welcome back after lunch, hope uh you had a good lunch together. For uh this meeting the main agenda okay uh to discuss about the conceptual design meeting. Okay and the agenda will be the opening and uh that's uh the product manager or secretary that's Marie Webster and uh the presentations from the Christine and uh Agnes and from Mister Ed. And finally in this meeting we have to decide and we are to take a decision on the remote control concept and uh the functional design minutes, I think it's uh little bit uh low, but I I hope we can finish it up so I'll handle to the the functional team, to the Christine, okay, to discuss about uh the components concept.
  Margarete Pritchett: Okay. So uh, if you could open the presentation. I'm number two.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: You're number two. 'Kay
  Margarete Pritchett: Components design, there we go. So uh can we put it in slide show mode? Yeah.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: The next one.
  Margarete Pritchett: Right here, is that little that one, yes please. Thank you. I'll take the mouse. So uh we were looking he specifically at the components uh the following components, uh the case, the power supply, uh the means of communications with the television set. instance we talked sort of speech recognition, you have to have microphone well no you don't actually I haven't have to have microphone in the device, but um maybe you do have it a a way it has to it has to hear the speaker
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Margarete Pritchett: and um, so it could be in the television set, could be in the device, but somewhere you have to put the microphone, um and a w a way of making beeps or sounds so you can find it when it's gets lost. Um so the other w thing that we So. Our method for going about this is we've looked at uh the histo hi historical record, what's worked, what hasn't and then we also um we wanted to evaluate some new materials and we contacted manufacturing for their input because, course, we m might come up and choose the material that then manufacturing didn't have the technologies or capabilities to offer us, so uh this is the approach that we took during our um our research. So um for the case, um we told we were making a specifica specific assumption that it would be curved in design. Course, you know, I wanted it to be expandable and shrinkable, but um that uh doesn't seem to b be one of the choic non-option we can uh we can really seriously explore, so then we were thinking about um rubber, but um unfortunately that's been eliminated because of the heat uh factor and th um there might be some problems with the m uh how it's uh goes with the board. Uh and uh then th plastic also has this problem of melting and it's brittle it gets brittle after a while, so um we still had titanium and and wood available, but um unfortunately uh uh titanium's also been eliminated uh, the m people in manufacturing said that you couldn't make d curved cases out of titanium, although how Apple did it with th PowerBook I'm not su quite sure but uh nevertheless um they've eliminated all of our options except wood. So,
  Kerri Lampe: At least environmentally
  Margarete Pritchett: this
  Kerri Lampe: friendly.
  Margarete Pritchett: is our finding. And a as she said, it's an environmentally friendly uh material, so we're we're currently uh proposing, uh we'll get to all my personal preferences in just a second. So then there's this other matter of the chips and um well we could use a simple design on the board, but uh these simple chips, but that's only works for the bu you don't get very much um intelligence with this simple one. And um then there was the regular which I regret that I've forgotten exactly why I'm eliminating that one. Uh the other option was this advanced chip on print, and uh we liked th we we found that it it includes this infrared sender, which w 'member the beam was that was an important component of finding the right chip. And uh manufacturing has told us that they've um uh recently developed a uh a sensor and a speaker that would uh be integrated into this advanced chip on print, so uh we we uh now jumping right to our personal preferences um I I'd really think we should, you know, use some of uh some really exotic woods, like um, you know uh, well you guys come from tropical countries so you can kinda think of some trees and some nice woods. I think that people will might really want to design their own cases, you see, they could do sort of a this um three-dimensional design on the internet, and then they could submit their orders, kinda like you submit a custom car order, you know, and you can choose the colour and the size of the wheels and the colours of the leather and things like that, and then I uh think we should go with the solar cells as well as the um microphone and speaker on the advanced chip. So this is the findings of our research and my recommendations um for the new remote control w um would be to have um have it be made out of wood. Do you have any problems with that?
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Can you go back uh one slide?
  Margarete Pritchett: I'm not sure, how do I Oh, I know, let's see.
  Kerri Lampe: Thank
  Margarete Pritchett: Let's go back
  Kerri Lampe: you.
  Margarete Pritchett: up here.
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes, uh question, uh, what's mean exactly, advanced chip on print? What's the meaning of that?
  Margarete Pritchett: I think it's um um a multiple uh chip design um and it's uh maybe printed on to the circuit board.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Mm-hmm.
  Margarete Pritchett: Uh I could find out more about that
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah, is
  Margarete Pritchett: uh
  Kaitlyn Huerta: it means
  Margarete Pritchett: before
  Kaitlyn Huerta: it's
  Margarete Pritchett: the
  Kaitlyn Huerta: on
  Margarete Pritchett: next
  Kaitlyn Huerta: the
  Margarete Pritchett: fi next meeting.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: yeah is it on a micro-proc micro-processor based or uh
  Margarete Pritchett: I don't know, but I'll find out more at our next
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Okay,
  Margarete Pritchett: meeting.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: tha that would be great, so if you find out from the technology background, okay, so that would be good.
  Margarete Pritchett: Sounds good.
  Kerri Lampe: Why was the plastic eliminated as a possible material?
  Margarete Pritchett: Because um it gets brittle, cracks
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Margarete Pritchett: Um We want we expect these um uh these remote controls to be around for several hundred years. So. Good
  Kerri Lampe: Whic
  Marie Webster: Wow,
  Margarete Pritchett: ex Good
  Kerri Lampe: Which
  Margarete Pritchett: expression.
  Marie Webster: good expression. Well after us.
  Kerri Lampe: Although I think I think with wood though you'd run into the same types of problems, wouldn't you, I mean it chips, it if you drop it, uh it's I'm not su
  Kaitlyn Huerta: So so you're not convinced about
  Marie Webster: Actually, I'm
  Kaitlyn Huerta: the
  Marie Webster: ready to
  Kaitlyn Huerta: the
  Marie Webster: sell
  Kaitlyn Huerta: wood,
  Marie Webster: it.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: yes.
  Margarete Pritchett: you're what?
  Marie Webster: I'm
  Kerri Lampe: I think
  Marie Webster: ready to sell it.
  Kerri Lampe: if you re if you use
  Margarete Pritchett: You
  Kerri Lampe: really
  Margarete Pritchett: think?
  Kerri Lampe: good quality wood then it might work
  Marie Webster: No
  Margarete Pritchett: And
  Marie Webster: y
  Kerri Lampe: but
  Margarete Pritchett: you
  Kerri Lampe: you can't
  Margarete Pritchett: could
  Marie Webster: no
  Kerri Lampe: just use
  Margarete Pritchett: you could
  Marie Webster: no
  Margarete Pritchett: sell
  Marie Webster: no,
  Margarete Pritchett: oils
  Marie Webster: the o the
  Margarete Pritchett: with
  Marie Webster: only
  Margarete Pritchett: it,
  Marie Webster: w
  Margarete Pritchett: to
  Marie Webster: the
  Margarete Pritchett: take
  Marie Webster: only
  Margarete Pritchett: care
  Marie Webster: wood
  Margarete Pritchett: of it.
  Marie Webster: you can use are the ones that are hard, extremely
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah,
  Marie Webster: hard
  Kerri Lampe: exactly,
  Marie Webster: wood, but
  Kerri Lampe: yeah.
  Marie Webster: there are some very pretty woods out there.
  Margarete Pritchett: Well I'm glad
  Marie Webster: That's actually
  Margarete Pritchett: you
  Marie Webster: very innovative idea.
  Margarete Pritchett: Okay, good. Sorr having a hard time keeping wi control over my face.
  Marie Webster: Well it's actually very n
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: The stain.
  Marie Webster: I mean it's each person is gonna have their own personalised, individualised speech recognition remote
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm.
  Marie Webster: control in wood, that's not on the market.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah, so it it's looks good the the design the functional design uh, what about yo you?
  Kerri Lampe: Um, in terms of comments on this or
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes,
  Kerri Lampe: in terms of my
  Kaitlyn Huerta: in t
  Kerri Lampe: own
  Kaitlyn Huerta: yes,
  Marie Webster: In turns of wow.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: in term in terms of comments first
  Margarete Pritchett: She works in the cubicle next to Marie Webster so she's uh she was already a little bit prepared
  Kerri Lampe: Y
  Margarete Pritchett: for this.
  Kerri Lampe: yeah.
  Margarete Pritchett: Luckily Ed was not.
  Marie Webster: Wood?
  Kerri Lampe: I think we can get the quality materials then it shouldn't influence the design principles too much, which you'll see with my presentation. One thing we'd have to check though is what the users whether how quickly the novelty wears off
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: of having
  Margarete Pritchett: Yeah, you wouldn't wanna have
  Kerri Lampe: uh
  Margarete Pritchett: to have splinters in your
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah,
  Margarete Pritchett: hand while you're
  Kerri Lampe: for
  Margarete Pritchett: using
  Kerri Lampe: example.
  Margarete Pritchett: your
  Kerri Lampe: So, have to see how kid-friendly it is and and all that, but
  Margarete Pritchett: It's really good if your dog gets ahold of it, they can use it for teething.
  Marie Webster: They do that anyway with the rubber and plastic, so,
  Margarete Pritchett: Yeah,
  Marie Webster: and
  Margarete Pritchett: they do it with other
  Marie Webster: chew
  Margarete Pritchett: materials
  Marie Webster: 'em up.
  Margarete Pritchett: as well, yeah.
  Marie Webster: And chew 'em up.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Okay then, uh, let's move to Agnes.
  Kerri Lampe: Sure.
  Margarete Pritchett: Oh, I'm sorry.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: S you're
  Kaitlyn Huerta: You are in participant
  Kerri Lampe: One point three,
  Kaitlyn Huerta: three.
  Kerri Lampe: yeah Uh, yeah.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: This one?
  Kerri Lampe: I think so, yeah. Yeah, that's the one. So, it's a very short presentation, 'cause I'm actually gonna draw you the layout on the board so if you want to just go straight to the second slide, um, which basically shows, sort of I took the ideas that we were talking about last time um and tried to put that into the remote control so the things that y you can actually see on it are the on off switch, volume and channel control, the menu access button, ergonomic shape, which I completely agree with Christine's idea to have it sort of molded, so it's slightly more ergonomic and comfortable to hold than the r standard very straight remote controls. And actually the other thing with the wood if we take your customising idea, is that people can actually do sort of quasi-measurements on their hand size, so if someone has larger hands,
  Margarete Pritchett: Right, my hand
  Kerri Lampe: you have
  Margarete Pritchett: is
  Kerri Lampe: a wider
  Margarete Pritchett: uh different
  Kerri Lampe: remote
  Margarete Pritchett: size
  Kerri Lampe: control.
  Margarete Pritchett: than yours for example.
  Kerri Lampe: So, that's actually a really good idea for customi customisability. Um, one thing I thought might be kind of interesting is to put a flip screen on it, just like you have on flip phones, so that you don't have this case where someone sits on the remote control or accidentally puts their hand on it, especially if you have little kids around, they're not pressing the buttons while you're trying to watch a T_V_ show and accidentally change the channel
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: or turn it off. And also um you had issues with the batteries running out, so I thought maybe we could put a little battery life-light on it that kind of goes dimmer and dimmer and dimmer as your battery is starts to die. And in terms of invisible features, audio and um tactile feedback on button presses
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: and, like you said, speech recognition. So, in terms of what this thing would actually look like Despite working in interface design, I'm not the greatest artist in the world, so you'll have to forgive Marie Webster. You'd have something like this with an on-off switch fairly big, sort of in the corner and by itself, so you don't accidentally turn your T_V_ off while you're trying to manoeuvre other buttons. And then you have sort of one of those toggle displays for, oops, channels and volume, sort of for surfing channels and then volume, so the volume would be the up and down, 'cause volume goes up and down and then channels left to right. And then here you'd have your sort of standard, telephonish number pad. And then on one side you would have an access to the menu on your T_V_ and on the other side a way to turn off the voice control. So that if the user doesn't
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm.
  Kerri Lampe: want to use their voice, they can just turn it off and you don't have the remote control
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: accidentally changing things on you. Um, so again you can have a little L_C_D_ light somewhere, the flip thing and Have I forgotten anything? I don't think so. So,
  Marie Webster: No.
  Kerri Lampe: as you can see, it's a very very simple design, which is one of the things I really wanted to keep, is keep it simple, not have too many buttons, not have too many functionalities thrown into it. Think the design can pretty much carry over to everything, although with the wood the flip screen might have to do something slightly
  Margarete Pritchett: A
  Kerri Lampe: different.
  Margarete Pritchett: hinge. Be like a copper hinge or
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Margarete Pritchett: you know.
  Kerri Lampe: But you also have to d start watching out for the weight, 'cause depending on how much the the flip screen will add to the weight
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: of the remote control, you don't want it to start getting too heavy.
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm.
  Kerri Lampe: But that's the general layout with the general functionalities, if we come up with something else. As you can see, there's still lots of space on the actual remote control and if you do it customisably, you can make this thing fairly small or fairly o large,
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm,
  Kerri Lampe: depending on personal
  Margarete Pritchett: mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: preferences.
  Marie Webster: Hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: So, that's pretty much all I had to say, I mean, everything else in terms of design issues. just depending on where your thumb is and you tend to use the the volume control and uh the browsing more than the actual number pad, so that would be sort of in direct line of where your thumb goes when you are holding the
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: remote control, the number pad a little bit lower 'cause it's used
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm.
  Kerri Lampe: less frequently.
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: So once we decide exactly what we want, then we can figure out the exact positioning, but more or less I think it should go along those lines.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: So what's your, uh, the comments or uh s
  Marie Webster: Simple design. It's what consumers want.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Okay
  Marie Webster: It's almost like, Houston, we have a product here. Problem is obviously gonna be cost.
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: Okay, I also have a f very simple presentation,
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: because for the marketing point you have to see
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah.
  Marie Webster: what the consumers want.
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Marie Webster: I also have uh copied a different type of remote. If you can find Marie Webster, where I'm at. There should only be one in here. trend watch.
  Margarete Pritchett: Sure.
  Marie Webster: It's being modified. They're stealing our product. We've been giving simple questionnaires in different areas because th obviously we have to see what the com consumers are looking for today, 'cause uh trends change very very quickly. In six months maybe this idea is already gone out the window, so it's gonna be a question how fast we can act. Uh they already erased the rest of mine, huh.
  Margarete Pritchett: No, f
  Kerri Lampe: No, no.
  Margarete Pritchett: go to findings.
  Marie Webster: No no, no no. 'Cause I had another comment there. Uh the market trend. This is what we know from the last uh from the questionnaires from the the all the p surveys we've done, fancy and feel-good, that's what we've been looking for, something that feels good in the hand, that's easy to use. Looking for next generation of innovation, because all the remotes out there now, they're all very similar, they all do the same thing, we have to have something completely different. Okay? Easy to use, has always has become has become another major interest that uh, with the whiteboard we can see that it's a remote that's easy to use. And I think this is another thing that's interesting is the consumers actually willing to pay the price for exciting tel technology. So even if we have a product that may be more expensive, if it comes out right, if they look it looks and feels good and has technology. The second two, you can see the last one is a very easy simple design. The second one, there is about uh forty-five thousand different buttons on it, which makes it fairly hard to read, uh very hard to use. The first one, I see that they put in a display. Now there's something else uh with the little flip-up, now we're adding all kinds of things in, but with
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: the little flip-up, if you have a little display on the flip-up that when you close it everything is locked.
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Marie Webster: Maybe the display also makes it easier to use, because sometimes when you're looking for buttons, maybe if you see a display
  Margarete Pritchett: Context-sensitive instructions,
  Kerri Lampe: Right.
  Marie Webster: Okay
  Margarete Pritchett: depending on what the tel what mode the T_V_ or the D_V_D_ or something
  Marie Webster: Because
  Margarete Pritchett: else
  Marie Webster: I've
  Margarete Pritchett: is
  Marie Webster: seen
  Margarete Pritchett: in.
  Kerri Lampe: Especially you
  Marie Webster: mostly
  Kerri Lampe: might need something
  Marie Webster: the standard
  Kerri Lampe: like that for
  Marie Webster: ones,
  Kerri Lampe: training
  Marie Webster: yeah.
  Kerri Lampe: the speech recognition
  Marie Webster: Now you have it now you
  Kerri Lampe: and
  Marie Webster: have one with the very simple also. The idea is simple, but with a display,
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: so you can see what you're doing. So maybe if we can incorporate the easiness of use,
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: trendy, fancy, feels good, uh with a display, wood, designer wood, designer colours,
  Margarete Pritchett: You
  Marie Webster: we
  Margarete Pritchett: know,
  Marie Webster: might've
  Margarete Pritchett: maybe what you could do is when somebody orders the device Margarete Pritchett you could send them like um a uh uh b some sort of a foam rubber um ball,
  Kerri Lampe: Oh yeah.
  Margarete Pritchett: and then they would squeeze it, and it would take the shape of their hand.
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah, so it's really molded to
  Margarete Pritchett: To t
  Kerri Lampe: to your specific
  Marie Webster: Mm-hmm.
  Margarete Pritchett: an and then you would know like um what the geometry of their hands would be and uh
  Marie Webster: How hard they squeeze?
  Margarete Pritchett: Yes
  Marie Webster: Resistance
  Margarete Pritchett: you'd know what kind
  Marie Webster: resistance,
  Margarete Pritchett: of wood to get.
  Marie Webster: right.
  Kerri Lampe: But th for that you'd also have to do sort of an average across families and
  Margarete Pritchett: That's
  Kerri Lampe: things like
  Margarete Pritchett: right,
  Kerri Lampe: that
  Margarete Pritchett: that's
  Kerri Lampe: if
  Margarete Pritchett: right, you wouldn't
  Kerri Lampe: unless
  Margarete Pritchett: wanna go
  Kerri Lampe: everyone
  Margarete Pritchett: too far
  Kerri Lampe: has their
  Margarete Pritchett: down
  Kerri Lampe: own
  Margarete Pritchett: that.
  Kerri Lampe: personal remote.
  Margarete Pritchett: Oh that that actually would uh increase the um the revenues
  Kerri Lampe: The sales,
  Margarete Pritchett: we could expect,
  Kerri Lampe: yeah.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: The
  Margarete Pritchett: yeah.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah. I hope so.
  Marie Webster: No, but incorporating the three uh obviously it'd be something totally new on the market,
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Marie Webster: totally different and from
  Kerri Lampe: Well, already the customisability is a really good sort of new
  Marie Webster: Although, what
  Kerri Lampe: gimmick.
  Marie Webster: it was it uh it was uh Nokia that came out with this changeable colours.
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: Right,
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Marie Webster: you take it apart, and put on another
  Kerri Lampe: Yeah.
  Marie Webster: face, take it off and put on another
  Margarete Pritchett: Right,
  Marie Webster: face
  Margarete Pritchett: mm.
  Marie Webster: and
  Kerri Lampe: And
  Marie Webster: then
  Kerri Lampe: that took off,
  Marie Webster: they sold
  Kerri Lampe: yeah,
  Marie Webster: millions,
  Kerri Lampe: yeah.
  Marie Webster: millions. So. So say with the f with the findings, with the research, easy to use something totally new.
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: We have to come up with something totally new that is not on the market.
  Margarete Pritchett: We'd also have to wor um consider that uh who we were gonna get to make these custom cases in terms of manufacturing processes, we might wanna um learn about um labour laws. You know in different countries and stuff wher so we can do it cheap, but you don't wanna exploit uh labour in um third world countries.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah.
  Margarete Pritchett: So actually you could turn it y turn around and say that you're uh par the reason the cost is high for the device is because um you're paying a a working wage to the person who made the device.
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah, but we can get a production in, uh, countries like, uh,
  Margarete Pritchett: Cost
  Kaitlyn Huerta: India
  Margarete Pritchett: of living is
  Kaitlyn Huerta: yes,
  Margarete Pritchett: low.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: yes, countries like India or China or Malaysia, so you can go a better features and better price and you can sell more. So
  Margarete Pritchett: Good, well th that'd be something that manufacturing would have to
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah,
  Margarete Pritchett: um
  Kaitlyn Huerta: yeah, so
  Margarete Pritchett: explore more
  Kerri Lampe: Mm yeah.
  Margarete Pritchett: and
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes.
  Marie Webster: Where
  Margarete Pritchett: to
  Marie Webster: w Where
  Margarete Pritchett: where
  Marie Webster: it would be manufactured
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Marie Webster: is is
  Kaitlyn Huerta: So
  Marie Webster: another step.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah,
  Margarete Pritchett: Yeah.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: so
  Marie Webster: We're here to design,
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes uh, but uh
  Marie Webster: come up
  Kaitlyn Huerta: that
  Marie Webster: with
  Kaitlyn Huerta: that
  Marie Webster: a nice
  Kaitlyn Huerta: we
  Marie Webster: product.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: can that we can
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: talk about the production later, okay, depends on the the quantity, okay.
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: So we don't need to have our own uh fabric factory or something, so we can have a tie-up with who the do the fabric, okay, for the different uh electronics items, then we can have a business tie-up and to get to cut the cost, okay, to sell more. So, but uh le let's decide first about the components concept and uh interface concept, okay, if is acceptable for both of you, what uh Ed was talking. And your design whether you want with the display
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: or without display or just a simple, so
  Kerri Lampe: I think it depends, I mean I think it's a good idea, but we need to really think about how useful it's gonna be because theoretically with the T_V_ you already have a big display right in front of you.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah.
  Margarete Pritchett: Hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: So, if we're trying to keep costs down, then maybe sacrificing the display
  Margarete Pritchett: Hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: is a way to go. I mean it depends on how much putting a display costs and
  Margarete Pritchett: Hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: what it would be used for very specifically what it would be used for,
  Margarete Pritchett: Mm-hmm.
  Kerri Lampe: 'cause if it's only used for one little thing, then putting in a big display case or a big display that's probably expensive just to do the training on the chip for the speech recognition or whatever, may not be the most cost-efficient way to go, but that's just sort of speculation, I mean.
  Margarete Pritchett: What do you think Ed? Do you he liked the display in one of the concepts that you showed, um, do you know how much it costs, um, to to add a little display like this
  Marie Webster: No.
  Margarete Pritchett: uh?
  Marie Webster: No
  Margarete Pritchett: Do
  Marie Webster: no
  Margarete Pritchett: you wanna take an action
  Marie Webster: p spec
  Margarete Pritchett: item
  Marie Webster: It's
  Margarete Pritchett: to go find out?
  Marie Webster: 'cause we have to find out cost on it.
  Margarete Pritchett: Okay. Sorry
  Marie Webster: Um,
  Margarete Pritchett: about that.
  Marie Webster: no that's no problem. I'm here for the pushing it after it's made.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes.
  Marie Webster: I will market it. Once we get a price on it then we can market it.
  Margarete Pritchett: So the the advanced chip on print is what um what we've we've deci we've determined and the uh engineering industrial design is the recommendation, and um I think we've kinda come to some agreement regarding um this concept of a wooden case.
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Margarete Pritchett: A customisable and
  Marie Webster: Nice beautiful mahogany
  Kerri Lampe: What about
  Marie Webster: red
  Kerri Lampe: the
  Marie Webster: wooden
  Kerri Lampe: buttons,
  Marie Webster: case.
  Kerri Lampe: would Would the buttons be wood too, or
  Margarete Pritchett: Uh I don't think so,
  Kaitlyn Huerta: I don't think so.
  Margarete Pritchett: no, I think they could be rubber
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes.
  Margarete Pritchett: like they are now,
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yes.
  Margarete Pritchett: so you have that
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Don't
  Margarete Pritchett: tactile
  Kaitlyn Huerta: looks nice
  Margarete Pritchett: experience
  Kaitlyn Huerta: uh.
  Margarete Pritchett: of
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah, so uh what we'll do is, uh, we will stick with the the simple design for time being until uh th Ed find outs about the how much it's cost to the extra, in case we go for the display.
  Kerri Lampe: Mm-hmm.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Okay. So maybe what you can do is uh, both of you, you can come up with the the prototype, okay, the model.
  Kerri Lampe: Okay.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Okay?
  Kerri Lampe: Sure.
  Margarete Pritchett: So um are we done with this meeting?
  Kaitlyn Huerta: Yeah, I hope, if is it okay if uh they will come up with the prototype design, okay. Then they can show you how it looks like, and then we can uh submit to the I will submit to the management. Okay? Then meantime you can come up with the price, how much it's cost as extra for uh the display.
  Margarete Pritchett: And a marketing
  Kaitlyn Huerta: An
  Margarete Pritchett: strategy.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: and the marketing
  Marie Webster: And
  Kaitlyn Huerta: strategy,
  Marie Webster: marketing strategy,
  Kaitlyn Huerta: that's very
  Marie Webster: thank
  Kaitlyn Huerta: important,
  Marie Webster: you.
  Kaitlyn Huerta: okay. Yes. How much

Updated Content: Margarete Pritchett gave her components concept presentation, which presented the components that will be used and how they will be integrated into the functional design. She announced that their only choice for casing material was wood, so she suggested an idea of having customizable wood cases. Kerri Lampe gave her presentation on the user interface concept for the product, and gave a basic layout of the remote's key functions. Marie Webster presented the marketing concept and discussed including a display to facilitate use. The group discussed the unique, custom design of the remote, and quickly talked about finding a manufacturer that could make the custom cases cheaply that still paid fair wages. The group also discussed whether or not to incorporate the display into the design, and decided to wait until the cost of adding that feature was known before adding it to the design. Margarete Pritchett and Kerri Lampe were instructed to begin building a prototype, and Marie Webster was instructed to work on the marketing strategy as well as research the cost of the display component.
