Extracted Content: Christine Tanner: 'Kay. Hmm. Okay everybody. Welcome to the design meeting. Um Let's see. Our agenda. Last time we discussed the squishy fruitiness of our remote controls and how we might pursue that. Um and I think looks like we've come up with some ideas. Um and we also talked about materials we'd use and what kind of chip would be necessary. Um so for later in the meeting I've done a a spreadsheet of production costs so we'll take a look at that. and see it's changed all when we last discussed it. Um so actually I think Yeah um f you guys wanna give a prototype presentation of
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Okay well um. So our design looks something like this. This being the wheel that you use to uh change channels or volume or whatever. This is a button, serves as the power button if you hold it down, and if you just tap on it I think it brings up the menu. And uh the base of the remote control, which has a squishy spongy rubbery feel, is interchangeable. So you can change the colour, according to your to suit your living room or whatever. And
  Vera Willis: You could
  Yolanda Mcdonald: it comes
  Vera Willis: change the vegetable,
  Yolanda Mcdonald: yeah, I can change
  Vera Willis: or fruit.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: the vegetable.
  Christine Tanner: Oh is that broccoli?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: This
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: one's broccoli. So this snaps off and you can put on whichever one you want. This is not to scale 'cause it would have the battery inside it. This is a mango. The it's trendy fruit, it's not just ordinary fruits. You don't have orange, you have mango. Um I guess strawberry's not as
  Christine Tanner: 'S
  Yolanda Mcdonald: trendy,
  Christine Tanner: a very
  Yolanda Mcdonald: but
  Christine Tanner: bright strawberry.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: So we'll come up with a variety of trendy and exciting fruit designs for the remote control.
  Vera Willis: It's
  Yolanda Mcdonald: And then
  Vera Willis: been
  Yolanda Mcdonald: people
  Vera Willis: a
  Yolanda Mcdonald: will
  Vera Willis: l
  Yolanda Mcdonald: be encouraged to buy three or five of them, because they'll need to switch 'em out.
  Vera Willis: It's been a little bit difficult to um make sure that it's hand-holdable, and that the user can use it, you know, it's not too big. Uh but we think that this you know, this size will be okay and we will have to fit the battery case in there
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm-hmm.
  Vera Willis: somehow.
  Christine Tanner: Oh
  Vera Willis: And
  Christine Tanner: yeah.
  Vera Willis: I guess the only other thing that we really didn't talk about was or design actually, would be the thing the locator. How how so
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well the locator is just chip that's inside there.
  Vera Willis: Okay so that's just
  Yolanda Mcdonald: And the beeper's also inside there too somewhere.
  Vera Willis: So you have to have a button on your on your you have to attach the button to the
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah we didn't design that.
  Vera Willis: Yeah we have that that has yes yet
  Yolanda Mcdonald: But
  Vera Willis: to
  Yolanda Mcdonald: it
  Vera Willis: be
  Yolanda Mcdonald: would
  Vera Willis: designed.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: be coordinating with that of course.
  Vera Willis: Yeah that c
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: hey that that could you know match the handset.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm-hmm.
  Vera Willis: You could have a broccoli, or you could have a mango. So. Tada.
  Christine Tanner: Oh. Um if you wanna look in your project documents folder, there's an Excel spreadsheet. Um the only one that's in there, production costs. And if you open it up. Um I've just stuck the numbers in, it was a real challenge there. But if I missed anything that we've gone over, or if you see something that has changed I mean, we decided on batteries, and the regular chip would be necessary for the more advanced iPod-like button. Um I said uncurved or flat. I think that's what you have there, is that right? For the for the plastic part would be
  Yolanda Mcdonald: My impression was that flat meant like like one of those square remotes. But it's
  Christine Tanner: Oh.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: really not very
  Christine Tanner: Okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: clear, because you got single curve and double curve and
  Christine Tanner: Right.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: d I dunno what that means. One side is curved and then the other side is curved.
  Christine Tanner: Well yeah. If we're talking about the area just oh I d I dunno. I guess we'd have to contact the company that makes them and see. Um so what else? There's plastic for that area around the button. Um and then rubber would be the squishy like thing right?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm-hmm.
  Christine Tanner: Um and lots of special colours actually. Uh scroll wheel. Do you see anything that I've missed?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: No I think that's alright.
  Christine Tanner: Okay so that would make our total of eleven point nine, which is even less than twelve point five, which means we'd be making even more of a profit. And if we sold a lot of squishy things.
  Vera Willis: Mm.
  Christine Tanner: Boo yeah. Okay. S So Mm.
  Christine Tanner: Did y what did you work on? The
  Susana Edwards: Um evaluation criteria.
  Christine Tanner: Okay. Do you wanna
  Susana Edwards: I've got a presentation
  Christine Tanner: Okay. I think
  Susana Edwards: So I need
  Christine Tanner: that's
  Susana Edwards: where's the cable?
  Susana Edwards: Right what happens is we have to um decide whether this this whole this whole project we've been working on actually um meets the standards we were set at the start. Um. Right. This doesn't okay. Um the method is we well I've analysed the user requirements and integrated them to the trends found in marketing reports and in our company strategy marketing. And um findings were that we need it a way, a way, and this is everything's listed down. Um, look in a certain way, feel in a certain way, it has to be technologically innovative and it has to be easy to use. These are all things we looked at at the start, um and criteria that have to be met. We have to use a table, I'll show you that later, together to decide whether it meets the standards. And we we have therefore in total um We have five we have eleven points according to which this should be evaluated. And um the cri well basically the findings are the same as the evaluation criteria. I would like to show you the table we have to use. Um. No. This is the table. Can you see this here?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm-hmm.
  Susana Edwards: Um so the que the questions I've given you c could you write that down? True is one and and false is seven. And we'll just go through each point together, hopefully. Um. I think if each of us gives an opinion then they can be mixed somehow. I dunno how it works exactly, I haven't
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: been told.
  Vera Willis: Is it possible that we can bring this up on our own
  Susana Edwards: Yeah it's in the um it's in the project documents.
  Vera Willis: Is it meeting three minutes? No it's not
  Susana Edwards: It's
  Vera Willis: minutes.
  Susana Edwards: called evaluation criteria.
  Vera Willis: Okay.
  Susana Edwards: And it's under evaluation.
  Christine Tanner: Huh, the PowerPoint
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Hmm?
  Christine Tanner: one?
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: Okay. Cool.
  Susana Edwards: You've found it all?
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: So it was um Yeah true's one.
  Vera Willis: True's one and false is seven.
  Susana Edwards: Do you want us to discuss this together or do you want us to do it singly?
  Christine Tanner: Um we can do it separately and then discuss
  Susana Edwards: Yeah okay.
  Christine Tanner: it if if that's what people wanna do.
  Vera Willis: So it's actually a scale.
  Christine Tanner: Wait, one is true and
  Susana Edwards: Um,
  Christine Tanner: so these are the questions we're answering.
  Susana Edwards: yes
  Christine Tanner: And
  Susana Edwards: it's
  Christine Tanner: one is
  Susana Edwards: if it's fancy you put one,
  Christine Tanner: One, right
  Susana Edwards: if
  Christine Tanner: okay.
  Susana Edwards: it's really unfancy it's seven.
  Christine Tanner: If it's somewhere in between you put four.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah, something.
  Vera Willis: Okay.
  Christine Tanner: Okay.
  Vera Willis: Does it feel fancy?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Feels like play-dough.
  Vera Willis: No.
  Susana Edwards: They shouldn't really be questions. Should be more like
  Susana Edwards: Are the batteries easy to insert?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I'm gonna say yes.
  Susana Edwards: Yes? Very very true. Okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I imagine they're somewhere on the front. We have a little case that you slip 'em in.
  Susana Edwards: Okay.
  Christine Tanner: Are we just about ready?
  Susana Edwards: Apparently I'm supposed to use the whiteboard. Do we um is it necessary?
  Christine Tanner: I don't think so. It's
  Susana Edwards: We'll just do
  Christine Tanner: yeah
  Susana Edwards: um
  Christine Tanner: the the marker thing kinda stopped working last time
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: we
  Vera Willis: Okay.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: Our animals
  Susana Edwards: Okay.
  Christine Tanner: will forever be there. Un unless you feel you need it t to
  Susana Edwards: I don't feel any
  Christine Tanner: okay okay. We'll
  Susana Edwards: right um Right so one point one? We'll just go in a circle.
  Vera Willis: One.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: 'Kay Five.
  Susana Edwards: Right. Ooh I don't know. Right. One?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Five.
  Christine Tanner: Five.
  Susana Edwards: Five. Two. Okay so do we just add it up and divide it by four? Is that what the company does?
  Christine Tanner: I I think we should
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It's four if you wanna do that.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It adds
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: to sixteen, so that's four.
  Susana Edwards: Oh no. It adds to thirteen. One five five two.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Oh I thought she said five.
  Vera Willis: Hmm.
  Susana Edwards: One five five two is thirteen, over four for now. I think that's um next?
  Vera Willis: Um three.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Six.
  Christine Tanner: Six.
  Susana Edwards: Really?
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Two.
  Christine Tanner: I wasn't
  Susana Edwards: Uh-oh.
  Christine Tanner: cheating I swear.
  Susana Edwards: Right. One point three is
  Vera Willis: So it's a one was true and seven was false?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Huh?
  Christine Tanner: Uh.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: Okay, so you guys really didn't like it?
  Susana Edwards: I
  Christine Tanner: Oh
  Susana Edwards: really
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Wait
  Christine Tanner: I thought
  Yolanda Mcdonald: a minute.
  Christine Tanner: it was the other way round.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I thought it was the other way round too.
  Susana Edwards: Well
  Christine Tanner: So we do have about
  Susana Edwards: uh
  Christine Tanner: the
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Sh
  Christine Tanner: same thing, we just have it the other
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah
  Christine Tanner: way
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I
  Susana Edwards: Yeah yeah. It was
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I was
  Susana Edwards: one
  Yolanda Mcdonald: thinking
  Susana Edwards: is
  Yolanda Mcdonald: one
  Susana Edwards: true
  Yolanda Mcdonald: means no
  Susana Edwards: and
  Yolanda Mcdonald: points, you know,
  Susana Edwards: false
  Yolanda Mcdonald: all the way
  Susana Edwards: is
  Yolanda Mcdonald: up
  Susana Edwards: seven.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: to the top.
  Susana Edwards: I should've kept the table up.
  Christine Tanner: Oh
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I'll just
  Christine Tanner: gosh. Okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I'll just
  Christine Tanner: Well
  Yolanda Mcdonald: reverse them all. It's no problem.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Right, well I'm glad this came out.
  Vera Willis: I was like, why did you guys design it that
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: way if you hated
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I thought
  Vera Willis: it?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: you guys hated it.
  Susana Edwards: No.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Oh that's quite funny.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Okay.
  Susana Edwards: Okay.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Okay. So, starting again, one point one?
  Vera Willis: One.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Say two.
  Christine Tanner: Three.
  Susana Edwards: Two. Okay, one point two?
  Vera Willis: Uh three.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Two.
  Christine Tanner: Two.
  Susana Edwards: Two. Okay. Um, one point three?
  Vera Willis: One.
  Christine Tanner: One.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: One.
  Susana Edwards: Ha. Two point one?
  Vera Willis: Uh
  Christine Tanner: Two.
  Vera Willis: two.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Uh two.
  Christine Tanner: Two point I think I missed two. Wait, is that two point one?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah I put it
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: down as one point four
  Christine Tanner: One
  Susana Edwards: Oh
  Yolanda Mcdonald: for
  Christine Tanner: point
  Yolanda Mcdonald: some
  Susana Edwards: dear,
  Christine Tanner: four,
  Yolanda Mcdonald: reason.
  Christine Tanner: one point five.
  Susana Edwards: okay.
  Christine Tanner: Okay right
  Susana Edwards: Sorry.
  Christine Tanner: that's I have two of them.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mine has all kinds of
  Susana Edwards: Two
  Yolanda Mcdonald: problems.
  Susana Edwards: and one. Sorry about that. T two point two, which is one point five.
  Christine Tanner: One.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Uh three. Wait why did I put three?
  Vera Willis: Uh one.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I meant
  Susana Edwards: Okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: one on mine too.
  Susana Edwards: Three point one. Is that correct on my
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: slide?
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah?
  Vera Willis: Uh one.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Three point one. I have four.
  Christine Tanner: Three.
  Susana Edwards: One, four, three, three, three point two?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Three.
  Christine Tanner: Three.
  Vera Willis: Uh. One.
  Susana Edwards: Three point three.
  Vera Willis: One.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: One.
  Christine Tanner: Two.
  Susana Edwards: Four point one?
  Vera Willis: One.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Two.
  Christine Tanner: Five.
  Susana Edwards: Two. Four point two.
  Vera Willis: Two.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Three.
  Christine Tanner: Four.
  Susana Edwards: Two and four point three.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Two.
  Susana Edwards: One, two.
  Vera Willis: One.
  Christine Tanner: Two.
  Susana Edwards: Right so I put one on that. Okay I'll um I'll just do the calculations now if you want to continue.
  Christine Tanner: Okay.
  Susana Edwards: Or is
  Christine Tanner: Um
  Susana Edwards: it tedious? I'm I'm sorry this was so tedious
  Christine Tanner: No
  Susana Edwards: for
  Christine Tanner: no
  Susana Edwards: everyone.
  Christine Tanner: that's um
  Susana Edwards: I didn't
  Christine Tanner: I
  Susana Edwards: know
  Christine Tanner: think
  Susana Edwards: how
  Christine Tanner: we
  Susana Edwards: else
  Christine Tanner: should
  Susana Edwards: to do
  Christine Tanner: look at
  Susana Edwards: it.
  Christine Tanner: the ones that like where s where people said four, where um it looks like we might wanna discuss changing an aspect of the remote.
  Susana Edwards: Okay. Well the worst ones were three point one.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm-hmm.
  Susana Edwards: Do does every ones have the slide? Three point
  Christine Tanner: The
  Susana Edwards: one.
  Christine Tanner: that was material.
  Susana Edwards: Slide show. Material technologically innovative, okay.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Susana Edwards: Um, do you want to change it? What are the suggestions? I don't know, anyone?
  Christine Tanner: Um
  Vera Willis: Which one is that again sorry? Three point one?
  Christine Tanner: Mm-hmm.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah that it's three point one was not that good. Four point one.
  Christine Tanner: Does the shape
  Susana Edwards: The shape.
  Vera Willis: I think
  Susana Edwards: Four point two?
  Christine Tanner: See I'm having I'm having trouble imagining the is it uh gonna be the size, like the the controller? It
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I think
  Christine Tanner: or
  Yolanda Mcdonald: the
  Christine Tanner: bigger?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: wheel would probably be mm.
  Christine Tanner: Because
  Vera Willis: What if we just smash all the vegetables down flat? And like then it you could hold it in your hand better.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I think the base would definitely be larger, 'cause some of these are not as easy to hold. They're
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: kinda smallish.
  Christine Tanner: No but I imagine even if it was bigger, like if it's round and it's big then you you can't get
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: that's why remote controls
  Vera Willis: The
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: flat
  Christine Tanner: are long
  Vera Willis: one.
  Christine Tanner: because
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: you have that thumb kind of so c they could all be bananas and cucumbers.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: Um but I don't s I I personally don't think this is comfortable
  Vera Willis: I didn't
  Christine Tanner: to to
  Vera Willis: yeah.
  Christine Tanner: sit there, like it's
  Vera Willis: But
  Christine Tanner: an
  Vera Willis: like
  Christine Tanner: awkward
  Vera Willis: if if
  Christine Tanner: position.
  Vera Willis: you just squash them flat like and you made it flat
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well if they're that s uh stress ball stuff they would be pretty squishable.
  Vera Willis: But it's
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm.
  Vera Willis: still too big I think, in your
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: hand. Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: And would it even resemble fruit that way? I mean
  Vera Willis: Yeah like certain ones you'd have to limit the fruit selection,
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: like you could probably do a strawberry still.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: I think the broccoli would be out. You could do, although the broccoli is quite comfortable, I have to say, like sorta
  Christine Tanner: Yeah
  Vera Willis: like
  Christine Tanner: that
  Vera Willis: a joystick.
  Christine Tanner: I I when you were holding
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: that before, it
  Susana Edwards: That
  Christine Tanner: actually
  Susana Edwards: looked
  Christine Tanner: looked
  Susana Edwards: really good.
  Christine Tanner: yeah.
  Vera Willis: I don't know. So
  Susana Edwards: Are there any fruits that look like broccoli, no?
  Vera Willis: Uh.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Not that I can think of. Rhubarb.
  Vera Willis: Rhubarb. These obscure
  Susana Edwards: I think
  Vera Willis: fruits.
  Susana Edwards: that broccoli is my favourite actually.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Uh despite the
  Vera Willis: I think we
  Christine Tanner: What
  Vera Willis: needn't
  Christine Tanner: if um the it was just patterns on like we we chose the shape or the sh shape could be whatever we wanted and then it would just be like a design on the rubber.
  Vera Willis: Huh?
  Christine Tanner: You
  Vera Willis: Oh
  Christine Tanner: know
  Vera Willis: okay.
  Christine Tanner: like like
  Yolanda Mcdonald: So
  Christine Tanner: just
  Yolanda Mcdonald: it's just
  Christine Tanner: a
  Yolanda Mcdonald: colour,
  Christine Tanner: printed
  Yolanda Mcdonald: and not
  Christine Tanner: yeah
  Yolanda Mcdonald: necessarily
  Christine Tanner: or
  Yolanda Mcdonald: the shape
  Christine Tanner: coloured
  Yolanda Mcdonald: of a strawberry.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: yeah.
  Vera Willis: That could work.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: Or I mean we could even have fruit like around
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: I mean
  Vera Willis: Yeah. I dunno.
  Christine Tanner: But
  Susana Edwards: Yeah
  Christine Tanner: if
  Susana Edwards: and
  Christine Tanner: we
  Susana Edwards: just
  Christine Tanner: if
  Susana Edwards: have the
  Christine Tanner: we
  Susana Edwards: colour
  Christine Tanner: need
  Susana Edwards: match or something.
  Christine Tanner: yeah. And if we wanna incorporate the fruit thing somehow, there might be I mean if it if it in if it uh conflicts with the comfort of actually holdi holding
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: the
  Vera Willis: 'Cause yeah no-one wants to hold a remote that's uncomfortable obviously.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Susana Edwards: Mm.
  Vera Willis: Or like I dunno, some of 'em you can kind of think see as like like you could if it was only this you know, if it was shaped like that, and it just had that. But you see the problem
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: is you have to attach that, and this has to be detachable.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: So like maybe that's just too
  Christine Tanner: Well
  Vera Willis: big
  Christine Tanner: see th
  Vera Willis: because
  Christine Tanner: the reason the broccoli works is you can kinda hold it like that,
  Vera Willis: Yeah
  Christine Tanner: which is
  Vera Willis: it's
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: a
  Vera Willis: sorta
  Christine Tanner: nice
  Vera Willis: like
  Christine Tanner: kind
  Vera Willis: a joystick.
  Christine Tanner: of yeah. But
  Vera Willis: I dunno. I guess
  Christine Tanner: I mean is there some way we could make it this kind of shape? 'Cause like
  Yolanda Mcdonald: We
  Christine Tanner: kind
  Yolanda Mcdonald: could make
  Christine Tanner: of
  Yolanda Mcdonald: it that shape but just have different colours,
  Christine Tanner: Yeah,
  Yolanda Mcdonald: and call
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: 'em the
  Christine Tanner: yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: different fruits.
  Christine Tanner: Or
  Vera Willis: Dif
  Christine Tanner: like
  Yolanda Mcdonald: We
  Christine Tanner: even
  Yolanda Mcdonald: went with shape because we were having
  Christine Tanner: Or
  Yolanda Mcdonald: fun
  Christine Tanner: even
  Yolanda Mcdonald: with the play-dough.
  Christine Tanner: like Yeah like you said, like a joystick like that.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: You know?
  Vera Willis: Yeah. Like uh we could do I'm trying to think of other sha like fruits that are oddly shaped.
  Christine Tanner: 'Cause that, I think I mean that fits the whole round iPod idea.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Mm-hmm.
  Christine Tanner: And
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: you still have the comfort of holding it like that.
  Vera Willis: Mm.
  Christine Tanner: And you could like if it's like this, you could put fruit designs and stuff on
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: that
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: part.
  Vera Willis: Alright.
  Christine Tanner: But I mean it do we have any other ideas about that?
  Susana Edwards: Um
  Vera Willis: We could tr I don't know.
  Susana Edwards: Think the critical ones came out to be yeah that one. Batteries easy to insert for some reason, which can be easily I think that's not a problem
  Christine Tanner: The
  Susana Edwards: any
  Christine Tanner: batteries are
  Yolanda Mcdonald: That
  Christine Tanner: going
  Susana Edwards: more.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: everyone gave that a one or a two.
  Christine Tanner: in the back?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah
  Susana Edwards: No.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: they'd probably be either on the front or the side of
  Christine Tanner: The reason
  Yolanda Mcdonald: the remote.
  Christine Tanner: I I ga I didn't give it a one I think I gave it a three because I thought you'd have to like unc
  Yolanda Mcdonald: No
  Christine Tanner: clip no
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I imagine
  Christine Tanner: you could
  Yolanda Mcdonald: there'd be sort of a hatch
  Christine Tanner: Just
  Yolanda Mcdonald: door,
  Christine Tanner: like any other one.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: yeah um
  Christine Tanner: Okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: like on a normal remote.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah. Right.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: So it would probably either in the f no it can't be in the front 'cause the I_R_'s right there, but it'd be on one of the sides probably.
  Christine Tanner: Okay.
  Susana Edwards: I think everyone's under three anyway.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Susana Edwards: So I think it's yeah those are the only two points.
  Vera Willis: Cool. Well Yeah the broccoli I guess wins.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah I'd agree with changing the shape. Um,
  Christine Tanner: Okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I was just having fun making strawberries and stuff.
  Vera Willis: We were a bit off task. Um so uh I can't think of any So we'll have to like Mm. Yeah I dunno. You could make the touch pad in th in different shapes, but then that kind of re-designs the whole project like, but you could do
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It might
  Vera Willis: like
  Yolanda Mcdonald: also sort of annoy people if we get used to having the buttons
  Vera Willis: Yeah
  Yolanda Mcdonald: in
  Vera Willis: that's
  Yolanda Mcdonald: one shape.
  Vera Willis: true.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: And it would probably cost more to produce,
  Vera Willis: Yeah that's
  Christine Tanner: 'cause
  Vera Willis: true.
  Christine Tanner: they're irregular.
  Vera Willis: Mm.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I bet having different colours is a lot cheaper than having different shapes too.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah. Which is why printing might be like just printing the fruit on fruit.
  Vera Willis: Hmm.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Christine Tanner: Not really Well we've done finance evaluation criteria, production evaluation. Um so project evaluation.
  Susana Edwards: Do you want this and we can all No.
  Christine Tanner: I guess we're supposed to discuss um the prod the process of the project and how satisfied oh, oh it's alright. Uh.
  Susana Edwards: It's alright yeah?
  Christine Tanner: Yeah. Um Did you feel there was a lot of room for creativity in the sort of
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Sure.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: I did.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: I mean fruit and squishiness. How c more creative
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Sponginess.
  Christine Tanner: can you get?
  Vera Willis: The prototype making was very creatively stimulating and I think we've come up with a product that's fun and meets all the criteria.
  Christine Tanner: And how was our leadership and teamwork?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I think it was good. We knew what we were doing. It was a very democratic process and everyone got to contribute.
  Christine Tanner: Well I thought my leadership was crap personally. Excuse Susana Edwards,
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well
  Christine Tanner: am
  Yolanda Mcdonald: you
  Christine Tanner: I allowed
  Yolanda Mcdonald: told
  Christine Tanner: to
  Yolanda Mcdonald: us
  Christine Tanner: say
  Yolanda Mcdonald: when
  Christine Tanner: that?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: to start and when to end, and that's all
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: that matters.
  Christine Tanner: Um.
  Vera Willis: I think you were fine. You did
  Christine Tanner: Yeah,
  Vera Willis: a good job leading.
  Christine Tanner: well I'm never gonna do a management position, I know that now. Um yeah, I thought we all worked very
  Susana Edwards: Yeah
  Christine Tanner: well
  Susana Edwards: we didn't
  Christine Tanner: together.
  Susana Edwards: we uh it all c sort of blended
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: quite
  Vera Willis: Yeah
  Susana Edwards: well.
  Vera Willis: I think it more than anything we didn't really have our set roles so much, as we just would be like
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: I don't know, all had ideas
  Christine Tanner: Very democratic.
  Vera Willis: about it but yeah.
  Christine Tanner: No spats, that was good.
  Vera Willis: No.
  Christine Tanner: Um and the means for like the materials we used, how convenient were they? Like the the pens, the whiteboard, I mean
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well I'm not
  Christine Tanner: we
  Yolanda Mcdonald: a
  Christine Tanner: used
  Yolanda Mcdonald: big fan of any Microsoft, PowerPoint or any
  Christine Tanner: Are you
  Yolanda Mcdonald: of
  Christine Tanner: a
  Yolanda Mcdonald: this
  Christine Tanner: Mac
  Yolanda Mcdonald: stuff.
  Christine Tanner: person?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: No no I never touch Macs either. I just use the Unix or the off market, sort of WordPerfect and all these other things.
  Christine Tanner: Huh.
  Vera Willis: Hmm.
  Susana Edwards: Which isn't very user-friendly
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: though.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well the problem is if you don't like my new computer never has WordPerfect so I have to go track someone down who has an old disk and then I have to reinstall it. So I have all these documents I can't use now. But yeah I mean I guess it's okay.
  Vera Willis: I felt like my I dunno if it was just my role, but l but uh I di I thought that my the information that was available to Susana Edwards was kind of just like or maybe it was just the idea that we had. But there's kinda it was kinda like okay, I don't really think I dunno what I'm doing here.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Vera Willis: So I didn't really think it was helpful. So I kind of just made up my own stuff and I
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: didn't really like the PowerPoint presentations, so I kind of wrote a lot of notes instead. But
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: yeah I d I don't really like PowerPoint personally, think it's kinda
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: stupid.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I never use it.
  Vera Willis: Yeah but uh
  Christine Tanner: I can't say I found everything particularly helpful.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: Like
  Vera Willis: It didn't
  Christine Tanner: I
  Vera Willis: really
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: yeah.
  Christine Tanner: It
  Susana Edwards: I
  Yolanda Mcdonald: My first
  Susana Edwards: though it
  Yolanda Mcdonald: bit
  Susana Edwards: was
  Yolanda Mcdonald: of information
  Susana Edwards: brilliant
  Yolanda Mcdonald: was
  Susana Edwards: no?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: like
  Christine Tanner: Really?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: this child's drawn picture of how a remote works.
  Susana Edwards: No mine was really helpful as in my stuff was quite helpful I think.
  Vera Willis: So
  Christine Tanner: I
  Vera Willis: like
  Susana Edwards: I
  Christine Tanner: mean
  Vera Willis: a f
  Susana Edwards: think it
  Christine Tanner: m my
  Susana Edwards: depends
  Christine Tanner: problem
  Susana Edwards: on the role no?
  Vera Willis: Yeah
  Christine Tanner: yeah,
  Vera Willis: I
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah
  Vera Willis: think so.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: it probably does.
  Christine Tanner: yeah. 'Cause my problem was, you guys had access to like they'd put send you to sites and stuff right?
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: See I couldn't do that, so I didn't really know what you guys were doing. And when you were talking about it I was just like you know that's wh that's why I seemed so ignorant when when you were j explaining things, 'cause I
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah well mine was mostly made up except when they told Susana Edwards like you know titanium costs more than
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: wood to make a remote control.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: you'd
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: wanted to.
  Susana Edwards: But it must have been quite difficult for them to build a whole um
  Christine Tanner: System.
  Susana Edwards: a whole system,
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: 'cause of course they can't give you uh uh anything comparable to the internet for
  Vera Willis: Yeah
  Susana Edwards: the
  Vera Willis: I mean,
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well I think
  Vera Willis: it
  Yolanda Mcdonald: it's interesting how it all went together, like I had the stuff about how Susana Edwards how rubber's cheap, and you have how
  Susana Edwards: Yeah,
  Yolanda Mcdonald: people
  Susana Edwards: yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: want it to be spongy, and
  Christine Tanner: Yeah, huh.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It seems planned you know.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: Yeah I kinda thought that um I felt like I would go and like try to use my information, stupid little presentation and then like I just would end up talking about something completely unrelated because I dunno
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: I felt like I was off-task all the time. But um
  Christine Tanner: Well I mean we really got into talking about like personal practicalit like it wasn't necessarily what was like we would never have thought of fruit or sponginess
  Susana Edwards: No.
  Christine Tanner: you know?
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: So
  Yolanda Mcdonald: If
  Christine Tanner: it's
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I hadn't been told that fruit was
  Susana Edwards: But I think that it it might be to see whether people actually all come up with the same
  Christine Tanner: Oh
  Susana Edwards: thing.
  Christine Tanner: right. given certain information or
  Susana Edwards: Yeah,
  Christine Tanner: Just
  Susana Edwards: like
  Christine Tanner: yeah.
  Susana Edwards: if everyone's given the same input I don't have a clue,
  Christine Tanner: Mm,
  Susana Edwards: anyway. Um
  Christine Tanner: mm.
  Susana Edwards: what's next? Looks like oh no that's not um It's
  Christine Tanner: What
  Susana Edwards: quite
  Christine Tanner: do you guys think of the pens? It asks
  Yolanda Mcdonald: They're
  Christine Tanner: about
  Yolanda Mcdonald: pretty
  Christine Tanner: that.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: cool.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: They're
  Vera Willis: I
  Yolanda Mcdonald: kinda
  Vera Willis: wanna s
  Yolanda Mcdonald: hard to write with though.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: and I I've f forgotten once or twice to check the box.
  Vera Willis: I I'd like to see what what it looks like on the
  Yolanda Mcdonald: They're nicer than the pen that I'm using, because like your stuff actually shows up here, rather than having to look at the screen and write.
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: But even so, I dunno.
  Christine Tanner: And new ideas found?
  Susana Edwards: Yeah it's all very new,
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Susana Edwards: no? It's all very new.
  Vera Willis: Yeah I think I'd like to um I dunno. Like
  Susana Edwards: Sorry.
  Vera Willis: it was the I think the microphones are okay when you're sitting down, but like they're kinda clumsy I guess
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Oh
  Vera Willis: when
  Yolanda Mcdonald: yeah.
  Vera Willis: you're like when you're s going up to the whiteboard like.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well they drop off if you like move too much.
  Vera Willis: Yeah I dunno. But they're
  Yolanda Mcdonald: But I don't
  Vera Willis: they're
  Yolanda Mcdonald: think
  Vera Willis: okay.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: we're supposed to be testing these microphones. Maybe we are. I don't
  Christine Tanner: Mm.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: know.
  Vera Willis: Uh I think, and I think that uh all this technology like I guess some people must be interested in using it but I can't imagine finding it any more useful than like looking at someone's
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: notes,
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Well
  Vera Willis: or
  Yolanda Mcdonald: the
  Vera Willis: like
  Yolanda Mcdonald: thing is,
  Vera Willis: I
  Yolanda Mcdonald: like
  Vera Willis: dunno.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I actually worked in a company, and I had a role and I had to go to meetings. And like the last thing I would have wanted would be to have to watch a video 'cause I missed a meeting. Like usually I missed meetings deliberately. There's just there's really not that much information that actually goes through a real meeting,
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: like when you're actually at a real meeting in a real company.
  Vera Willis: Hm.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It's mostly like rehashing old stuff. And you're sort of going over general stuff that
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: anybody who's sort of on task should already know. It's like the there's just really not a lot of information
  Christine Tanner: Seems
  Yolanda Mcdonald: that goes
  Christine Tanner: kind
  Yolanda Mcdonald: through.
  Christine Tanner: of like an excessive
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It
  Christine Tanner: reiteration.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: seems like way overkill.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: Like if I missed a meeting I could probably get it summed up in like one sentence.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I wouldn't need to have to watch like a t two hour video with the sound and the transcript and
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: I guess it would be it's gotta be worth it to I 'cause I'm just mostly curious about like what kind of person or like company would would really find it useful, 'cause can't really imagine, dunno. How about a p a? Um I dunno.
  Christine Tanner: Well does anyone wanna talk about fruit more while we still have time? Any other
  Susana Edwards: What
  Christine Tanner: ideas
  Susana Edwards: what's
  Christine Tanner: for
  Susana Edwards: the end? Are we are we supposed to um you supposed to write a report? Or we ending?
  Christine Tanner: Um
  Susana Edwards: Is that the end?
  Christine Tanner: we still have time if there's any other input. I mean the I think we did really well personally, which is why we've you know, gone through this so quickly. 'Cause I mean we've all we all kind of agreed our product is satisfactory, it fits the budget, and it's trendy.
  Vera Willis: Yeah.
  Christine Tanner: So. Um.
  Susana Edwards: End of meeting. You have to tell her, she
  Christine Tanner: So I think that's all for today.
  Susana Edwards: Okay we have to fill in all this stuff. Stuff stuff
  Vera Willis: M
  Susana Edwards: stuff.
  Vera Willis: meeting adjourned.
  Christine Tanner: Meeting adjourned.
  Susana Edwards: Yeah.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: I think I've learned not to bring play-dough to meetings.
  Christine Tanner: Yeah.
  Vera Willis: I think it would be a good idea, I like it.
  Yolanda Mcdonald: It's hard enough to get people actually paying attention. Especially if you have food.
  Christine Tanner: So I guess we're supposed to write final reports. 'Cause
  Yolanda Mcdonald: All of us?
  Christine Tanner: I don't know.
  Susana Edwards: Well there's al eight,
  Christine Tanner: Hmm.
  Susana Edwards: nine. Ooh. Oh ooh.
  Christine Tanner: Hmm. Or is that just Susana Edwards?
Updated Content: Christine Tanner reviewed the minutes from the last meeting. Vera Willis and Yolanda Mcdonald presented the prototype and displayed the changeable fruit- and vegetable-shaped covers. They discussed the locator function that will be designed at a later time. Christine Tanner discussed the final production cost for the device, which totaled 11.9 Euros. Susana Edwards led an evaluation of the prototype. Each participant rated the prototype according to the original criteria for the project. The group discussed the areas in which the prototype did not meet these goals. The group felt that the changeable fruit and vegetable shapes were uncomfortable to hold. The group decided to make changeable covers in fruit colors and designs and to use one uniform shape. The group discussed their experience on the project. They felt they worked well together and were creative. They complained that the meeting-room materials were difficult to use, and some complained that there was not enough information provided to them. Christine Tanner instructed all participants to write a final report at the end of the meeting.
