Extracted Content: Patrick Kloster: So
  Patrick Kloster: Hello.
  Daniel King: Good afternoon. Sorry I'm a little late.
  Patrick Kloster: No problem
  Daniel King: Got stuck in the traffic.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. That's possible on uh this time of day. Starts at three o'clock. Uh
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh, let Daniel King see. Our fourth and last meeting. There he is. Yes. Okay this our last meeting. In this meeting we will discuss our final design. And we will do some evaluation about the, not only the product, but also the project. And then we're going to close the project today as well. So after this you be free to go and uh spend all your money. And this uh design, detailed design meeting uh we will discuss uh the look-and-feel of the design, the usability interface design, and we will do the product evaluation. Um, in order to do that we have this agenda. We'll have the prototype presentation first. Then we will set up some evaluation cri um criteria. Then we will look at the finance. Uh we will have to see if everything we wanna do is also possible within our budget. Because everything costs money, and the more functions you wanna have the more money it will cost. So we have to see if it fits within the twelve and a half Euro per remote. But we will see that later. Then we will do the project uh evaluation, and the closing after that. We've got forty minutes. So we will be finished at half past three. But first um we will do the this is prototype presentation. So, if some
  Dale Simpson: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: yeah if somebody wants step forward.
  Dale Simpson: Well this what Daniel King Richard came up with. The default spot for the on-off button. The mute button just below that. Then there's the volume and channel selectors. Simple plus-minus button. Uh we thought of a help button. If you hold it and you press another button, uh the help goes to the L_C_D_ screen. Then there's the zero to one to zero buttons. A button for teletext. A button for the subtitles. And the company logo. And uh we'll have to see from testing uh how the users take it.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay.
  Daniel King: Um, is this the moment where we
  George Lyons: So
  Daniel King: ask or can ask questions about the functionality?
  Dale Simpson: Sure
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: uh
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: just pop in at any time.
  Daniel King: Um, when you're in teletext there usually are buttons where you just you just press it and you g go to the next teletext page.
  George Lyons: Uh, uh the uh as th as the normal uh remote controls uh So um You put it uh you um came in uh page uh one hundred. Now
  Daniel King: Mm-hmm.
  George Lyons: you can use the normal uh one to zero buttons. And you But you can also uh use the um button th for uh changing the S so shifting.
  Daniel King: Okay.
  George Lyons: yeah shifting up in on t on t down. So
  Daniel King: Okay. Um Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. Uh but um I thought in a few meetings earlier we uh uh tried to keep it uh simple.
  George Lyons: Oh yeah?
  Patrick Kloster: Uh just a few buttons and large buttons. But uh I think these are altogether quite a quite a few buttons. So I'm wondering if we if we neely really need all of those buttons.
  Dale Simpson: I think if you look at most controls, they've got more buttons than this.
  Patrick Kloster: That's right.
  Dale Simpson: And
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: well the on-off button, it's it's a necessity. You
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: can't drop that one. The volume and channel buttons, you need you obviously need those those.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: The mute button could be replaced uh by pressing the volume-down button twice. So we could cancel that one. I think the help button really is necessary
  George Lyons: Yeah
  Dale Simpson: because
  George Lyons: yeah.
  Dale Simpson: there's no other way to know when someone wants to know what a button does.
  Patrick Kloster: Mm.
  George Lyons: Uh, or you can build in uh when you press uh one button uh
  Patrick Kloster: Long
  George Lyons: uh
  Patrick Kloster: time.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. If
  George Lyons: But
  Patrick Kloster: you put
  George Lyons: m Yeah. We disc discuss that already. But uh we think uh old people uh don't know that uh option. So uh they just put in uh put press uh the button and uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. Okay.
  Dale Simpson: Well, you can't leave out the number buttons I guess.
  George Lyons: And uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: And
  Patrick Kloster: Uh teletext and subtitles are
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: yeah
  George Lyons: Oh.
  Patrick Kloster: necessary.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay.
  Dale Simpson: So it's rather basic already.
  Daniel King: Yeah. Think so. That's what I pointed out earlier. If you just make a for just the T_V_ there's just not much to gain here.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yep. Okay. So we had somebody about th interfa Something about the design of the buttons there?
  Dale Simpson: Yeah, they're It's
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Just n normal
  Dale Simpson: rather
  Patrick Kloster: plain
  Dale Simpson: hard
  George Lyons: Yeah,
  Dale Simpson: to
  George Lyons: it
  Dale Simpson: draw
  Patrick Kloster: buttons.
  Dale Simpson: on the white-board. But they're supposed to be equal sized, round, with a with a little logo on it for the for the volume, the
  George Lyons: Yeah
  Dale Simpson: the triangle
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: yeah.
  Dale Simpson: and
  George Lyons: Just
  Dale Simpson: stuff.
  George Lyons: to recognise
  Patrick Kloster: 'Kay.
  George Lyons: it, so
  Dale Simpson: Just for
  George Lyons: uh
  Dale Simpson: recognition.
  George Lyons: Uh yeah and now we don't need uh LEDs or um
  Patrick Kloster: No.
  George Lyons: Y uh s some uh remote controls uh do it also,
  Patrick Kloster: No.
  George Lyons: but um uh because we use the little display we don't uh have to use it. Uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: so
  Patrick Kloster: Okay.
  Dale Simpson: So and for the materials we've just chosen for rubber buttons.
  George Lyons: Nay.
  Dale Simpson: With
  Patrick Kloster: Yep.
  Dale Simpson: a a different colour than the case. So they jump out.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay.
  Dale Simpson: And uh that's about it.
  Patrick Kloster: That's nice. Then because we only have thirty minutes left, I will move on to the finance part, which is pretty exciting, to see if it's all possible what we wanna do. And I can tell you that we're going to have a pretty hard time producing this for twelve and a half Euros.
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: If we see I don't know if I've filled in correctly, so just correct Daniel King if you see uh something wrong. I counted two batteries. But maybe we can also use one. I don't know if it's
  Daniel King: Since
  Patrick Kloster: possible.
  Daniel King: it rechargeable.
  Patrick Kloster: It's rechargeable. That's
  George Lyons: Yeah
  Patrick Kloster: right.
  George Lyons: we can u just uh
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. That's two Euros off.
  George Lyons: 'Kay.
  Patrick Kloster: We need the advanced chip. So there's
  Dale Simpson: Yep.
  Patrick Kloster: not much to uh to save there. Here we have the single curves. Uh we can see that the difference between uncurved and the single curved is one Euro.
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: Um, I don't know, but I think the single curved is good for design,
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: and also for the display to have a prominent place on the remote control.
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: I think we have to keep that.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Then we have the case material supplements. It's plastic. It's the cheapest one we need. So that's uh not much to save either. But then the biggest costs are the buttons. So maybe we really should try to
  George Lyons: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: discard some buttons to uh keep our costs low.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Because you have to we will have to get the twelve and a half Euros at the end. Um, so if we Let's fir first count
  George Lyons: Uh
  Patrick Kloster: the buttons we have now. Because
  George Lyons: Sixteen,
  Patrick Kloster: I
  George Lyons: I believe so.
  Patrick Kloster: Sixteen. Nah, that will be even more then. Eighteen Euros. So,
  George Lyons: Uh seventeen.
  Patrick Kloster: seventeen.
  Daniel King: Um
  George Lyons: Uh with the help button.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay,
  Dale Simpson: Yep.
  Patrick Kloster: including the
  Daniel King: Damn.
  Patrick Kloster: help?
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. Uh seventeen. I think we can uh discard the help and the mute button uh by pressing down volume long, or pressing down a a number
  Dale Simpson: Yep.
  Patrick Kloster: long. That saves us uh one Euro already. 'Cause then we have got fifteen I think?
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Daniel King: Wouldn't Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Fifteen
  Daniel King: No.
  Patrick Kloster: buttons.
  Daniel King: That wouldn't be an option.
  Patrick Kloster: And
  Daniel King: Uh,
  Patrick Kloster: this
  Daniel King: d
  Patrick Kloster: is
  Daniel King: I assume you'd count the volume and channel thingies for two buttons each, right?
  Patrick Kloster: No those are one,
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: I think.
  Daniel King: Well, think
  George Lyons: Where
  Daniel King: actually
  George Lyons: did
  Daniel King: there're two
  George Lyons: uh
  Daniel King: buttons,
  George Lyons: Uh,
  Daniel King: aren't they?
  George Lyons: it's just one button. But, um Yeah. There were uh two uh for one big button. But they are uh more expensive than the small ones. Uh, yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah
  George Lyons: So
  Patrick Kloster: but th it's not stated in this
  George Lyons: It's just a.
  Patrick Kloster: files. So maybe we can we can even make one button with the volume and the channel in one, by
  Daniel King: Well
  Patrick Kloster: pressing
  Daniel King: I was thinking, maybe you could just integrate three of those numbers to one button.
  Patrick Kloster: That's possibility as well.
  Daniel King: That would cut the cost.
  Patrick Kloster: So And it's good for the design as well. So you can make Uh let's see. If you make this
  Patrick Kloster: Looks a bit like uh a cross. Plus. Min.
  George Lyons: But I don't don't know if if it's
  Patrick Kloster: Uh s yeah
  George Lyons: cheaper.
  Patrick Kloster: channel.
  George Lyons: So uh,
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah
  George Lyons: we've
  Patrick Kloster: w
  George Lyons: still got four buttons, but just um So
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah th I think they count uh the materials.
  George Lyons: You got uh not not a butt button itself, but uh on the um
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah on the chip there.
  George Lyons: Yeah. On
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: the chip
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  George Lyons: you've got still
  Daniel King: Mm-hmm.
  George Lyons: uh four
  Patrick Kloster: That's
  George Lyons: uh
  Patrick Kloster: right. That's right.
  George Lyons: four buttons. So
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: But I think because we have the advanced chip
  George Lyons: Yeah, but
  Patrick Kloster: we can just count this as one button. But No but I
  Daniel King: But,
  Patrick Kloster: think
  Daniel King: I think this really is four buttons anyhow.
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. Maybe it is, but then it seems to Daniel King that it's impossible to get the twelve and a half Euros. Also the
  Daniel King: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: L_C_ display,
  Dale Simpson: Uh that's
  Patrick Kloster: I
  Dale Simpson: that's
  Patrick Kloster: think
  Dale Simpson: a big
  Patrick Kloster: it's,
  Dale Simpson: cost.
  Patrick Kloster: I think it's too expensive for the display we use.
  Dale Simpson: If we leave out the display we can also save money on the chip.
  Patrick Kloster: That's right, but what's the big advantage of our remote then?
  Daniel King: Only the docking station, I guess.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: Which isn't the the docking station isn't even in this c s schematic.
  Patrick Kloster: No.
  Dale Simpson: So it's not even
  Patrick Kloster: That's
  Dale Simpson: taken
  Patrick Kloster: extra.
  Dale Simpson: into the price.
  Patrick Kloster: That's extra. That's right.
  Daniel King: Maybe we should to a different supplier.
  Patrick Kloster: That's an option. Poland. Something.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Polish supplier. Don't you think we can, if we can count this as v as one button, and integrate th uh these buttons in three, then we save a lot of money as well.
  Dale Simpson: We we could save money on it. But would it make the remote more usable for elderly people?
  Daniel King: Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
  Dale Simpson: My mother can't even send send an S_M_S_ message. So
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. That's a point.
  Daniel King: Um
  George Lyons: Are we gonna buy a um a remote control uh when you can uh use it? So um Yeah. We m uh we must um stay below the um below um twelve uh fifty or
  Patrick Kloster: Yep.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Can't uh go um
  Patrick Kloster: No.
  Daniel King: Well, since the market research indicated that older people spend their money easier, more easy, maybe it's feasible to just put the price of the remote up a little. Especially since we have those
  George Lyons: Nay.
  Daniel King: nice features.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah but uh we have to stick to the twelve and a half Euros. We don't have any more budget to
  Dale Simpson: The margin
  Patrick Kloster: develop
  George Lyons: Is it
  Dale Simpson: will
  George Lyons: impossible
  Dale Simpson: get
  Patrick Kloster: it.
  Dale Simpson: too small.
  George Lyons: to
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: But it
  Patrick Kloster: So
  George Lyons: is possible to make one uh for uh twelve fifty. I don't think
  Patrick Kloster: It
  George Lyons: so.
  Patrick Kloster: is. If
  Daniel King: It
  Patrick Kloster: you
  Daniel King: would
  Patrick Kloster: leave
  Daniel King: be a be
  Patrick Kloster: out
  Daniel King: a
  Patrick Kloster: the L_C_
  Daniel King: pretty
  George Lyons: S
  Daniel King: rigid
  Patrick Kloster: display.
  Daniel King: one.
  Patrick Kloster: And if you use
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: less buttons. Say
  Dale Simpson: Ten.
  George Lyons: But,
  Patrick Kloster: Or you can
  George Lyons: you can't use
  Patrick Kloster: take
  George Lyons: uh
  Patrick Kloster: the single chip. There it is.
  George Lyons: Yeah. But we want to make a
  Patrick Kloster: But then
  George Lyons: uh
  Patrick Kloster: w
  George Lyons: so uh uh fancy and a good uh Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Good looking.
  George Lyons: Uh, wi with n Oh, with uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: attractive uh o options. So uh, you can stay uh below uh twelve fifty. So
  Patrick Kloster: I think
  Daniel King: Or
  Patrick Kloster: it's
  Daniel King: b
  Patrick Kloster: uh difficult as well, but
  Daniel King: Basically becoming a choice between like either a good remote and a higher production cost, or just
  Dale Simpson: No remote.
  Daniel King: any other remote control.
  Patrick Kloster: Or we can leave out the ten buttons and take one scroll wheel for the programme numbers.
  George Lyons: Scroll-wheel's
  Patrick Kloster: Then w
  George Lyons: one.
  Patrick Kloster: Because
  Dale Simpson: That's
  Patrick Kloster: then
  George Lyons: No, it
  Patrick Kloster: we save ten buttons. Then
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: we have five and one. And and see. If we have this one and we've got the advanced W uh,
  Dale Simpson: We're getting closer.
  Patrick Kloster: we're getting
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: close.
  Daniel King: But how does scroll-wheel work here?
  Patrick Kloster: Then you will Or maybe you can um scroll. If you scroll you will see the numbers on the L_C_D_ display. Until you've
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: got the right number, then you push it.
  Daniel King: That would bring up the price of the scroll-wheel also.
  Patrick Kloster: Alright.
  Daniel King: Integrated
  Patrick Kloster: It's gotta
  Daniel King: scroll-wheel
  Patrick Kloster: scroll and
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: push.
  Daniel King: push-button.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay but
  Daniel King: But
  Patrick Kloster: then you
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: you can push uh some other button as well.
  Dale Simpson: You could just not scroll for a half a second.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: So
  Patrick Kloster: That's right. So
  Dale Simpson: you
  Patrick Kloster: if
  Dale Simpson: won't
  Patrick Kloster: you scroll
  Dale Simpson: need a button.
  Patrick Kloster: to a number and then you wait a half second, then it g turns to that channel.
  Daniel King: I think that would be like the end of our usability.
  George Lyons: D yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: But it would definitely crop cost, a lot.
  Daniel King: Yeah, but
  Patrick Kloster: And we need the battery. And the regular chip is not possible? It has to be advanced?
  Dale Simpson: If you want to use an L_C_D_ screen you
  Patrick Kloster: It has
  Dale Simpson: you need
  Patrick Kloster: to be
  Dale Simpson: an advanced
  Patrick Kloster: advanced.
  Dale Simpson: chip, yes.
  George Lyons: Hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. Okay. And we can save a Euro by a flat design. That's an option we can
  Dale Simpson: Yep.
  George Lyons: Ja ja.
  Patrick Kloster: Then we're almost there.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah if you v could just leave out one more button.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. So if we
  George Lyons: Yeah, or we have to uh skip the subtitle uh button.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah but I think
  George Lyons: So
  Patrick Kloster: that's
  George Lyons: Yeah
  Patrick Kloster: That is a big advantage, if we're
  George Lyons: Yeah it's a big advantage. But
  Patrick Kloster: But
  George Lyons: um,
  Patrick Kloster: Can we use
  George Lyons: it's
  Patrick Kloster: can't we integrate the teletext and the subtitles in one button?
  Dale Simpson: I
  George Lyons: Uh,
  Dale Simpson: think
  George Lyons: yeah.
  Dale Simpson: so. Yeah.
  Daniel King: Well,
  Patrick Kloster: If you push
  Daniel King: think it's
  Patrick Kloster: it
  Daniel King: pretty much
  Patrick Kloster: three
  Daniel King: the
  Patrick Kloster: times?
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: teletext subtitles are right now you just push the teletext button, go to page eight eight eight,
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: and
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: teletext disappears. But the subtitles stay there.
  George Lyons: But if you push
  Daniel King: I
  George Lyons: the
  Daniel King: think that's
  George Lyons: teletext
  Daniel King: the case on
  George Lyons: button
  Daniel King: most
  George Lyons: twice
  Dale Simpson: What if you have to scroll
  George Lyons: It's
  Dale Simpson: to page
  George Lyons: uh
  Dale Simpson: eighty eight? Eight hundred eighty eight.
  George Lyons: One
  Patrick Kloster: Ah that's
  George Lyons: m uh
  Patrick Kloster: not
  Daniel King: Well,
  Patrick Kloster: really
  Daniel King: that could
  Patrick Kloster: that
  Daniel King: be
  George Lyons: one
  Daniel King: just
  George Lyons: b uh, a
  Daniel King: uh
  George Lyons: few
  Daniel King: like the
  George Lyons: buttons.
  Daniel King: scroll to eight, click, scroll to eight, click, scroll to eight, click.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah. Okay.
  Daniel King: But then again that would be d j just pretty much not an option for older people, who don't
  Dale Simpson: No.
  Daniel King: even know what a scroll-wheel is.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: Holding a
  Patrick Kloster: No.
  Daniel King: remote with which they expect to have like ten buttons for the numbers one to zero. With only five buttons on it. And a scroll-wheel.
  Patrick Kloster: I think if you make a good advertisement uh on television and in the in the guide, you can explain to the people how to use the scroll wheel. If you just make it real simple. Because it saves it saves a lot of money. And we can keep our L_C_D_ screen, which can provide extra information. How to use the scroll wheel. How to use the other
  Daniel King: True.
  Patrick Kloster: bu buttons
  Daniel King: True.
  Patrick Kloster: as subtitles.
  George Lyons: Hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: And it's good for the innovative design as well. If you would erase these. Mm eraser?
  Patrick Kloster: And we put uh
  Patrick Kloster: Looks a bit odd maybe.
  Daniel King: That's a pretty big scroll wheel.
  Patrick Kloster: That is
  Patrick Kloster: Something like that. Then, yeah. We've got the scroll-wheel. One, two, three, four, five buttons, if we erase this one.
  Patrick Kloster: And these are two buttons then.
  Dale Simpson: We could make two buttons out of that. And just um If you press the volume button you
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: can control the volume with the scroll-wheel. So that would save two buttons. If you do
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: the same for the channel.
  Patrick Kloster: That's really a good good idea, I think. And it will make the use of the scroll wheel
  Dale Simpson: More
  Patrick Kloster: uh
  Dale Simpson: obvious.
  Patrick Kloster: more obvious indeed. So we make one for the volume, one for the channel.
  Patrick Kloster: Plus scroll.
  Dale Simpson: So if we
  Patrick Kloster: That's right. So we've got one, two, three. Yeah, we can leave the teletext in if we want.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: That's m
  Dale Simpson: So
  Patrick Kloster: that's better.
  Daniel King: So this is five
  Dale Simpson: If
  Daniel King: buttons.
  Dale Simpson: we leave out all those buttons, perhaps you can go with the flat flat case. And make it smaller overall. So
  Patrick Kloster: Y
  Dale Simpson: if
  Patrick Kloster: yeah.
  Dale Simpson: you put the the volume and channel buttons on the same height as the on-off button, the
  Patrick Kloster: Mm yeah.
  Dale Simpson: screen right behi under that, than the scroll button
  Patrick Kloster: Uh yeah,
  Dale Simpson: you
  Patrick Kloster: and then
  Dale Simpson: get
  Patrick Kloster: you can
  Dale Simpson: a a much smaller remote.
  George Lyons: Uh yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: That's right.
  Dale Simpson: And it
  Patrick Kloster: So
  Dale Simpson: sh
  Patrick Kloster: we can decrease this one to four buttons.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah?
  Daniel King: Right now we have five.
  George Lyons: But uh, you can make a f quite a big uh remote remote control for uh just the same price as a small one.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Just uh
  Patrick Kloster: That's
  George Lyons: you
  Patrick Kloster: no problem.
  George Lyons: only have to pay for the double curved or single curved. It uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: it's a bit uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. It's uh it's more the moulds in which they are being made, I think. Single
  Daniel King: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: curved is really easy to just fill in. And cases come right out of the machine. And single curved you have to have a different uh different machine, than a flat one. I think this is a really easy one. Um, what does everybody think about a flat or a single curved design? Freek, what do you think?
  Daniel King: Well, I still think we should go for the single curve design.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Daniel King: But then again,
  Dale Simpson: Richard's argument was
  Daniel King: all
  Dale Simpson: very
  Daniel King: these
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: changes
  Dale Simpson: good.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: are not
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Daniel King: really okay
  Patrick Kloster: Yep.
  Daniel King: with Daniel King. But since
  Patrick Kloster: We have to cut costs.
  Daniel King: we just have to.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. Yeah
  Daniel King: I'd
  Patrick Kloster: I'm
  Daniel King: rather
  Patrick Kloster: ag
  Daniel King: just go to the board and
  Patrick Kloster: Ask for more
  Daniel King: get
  Patrick Kloster: money.
  Daniel King: us to spend eighteen dollars a a
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: remote.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. I am agreeing
  Daniel King: Or do
  Patrick Kloster: with
  Daniel King: some
  Patrick Kloster: the
  Daniel King: market
  Patrick Kloster: usability.
  Daniel King: research and
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: see what the options are.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. But th um I think we can then keep the single curved one. Just to express our L_C_D_ screen a bit more.
  Dale Simpson: Yep.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: So
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: people will use it more, and especially for the help functions, it will be good if we have scroll bar, scroll button. It will be necessary to have good help function, as well.
  Patrick Kloster: So this is scroll.
  Patrick Kloster: I think it was better to have this price list a bit earlier. Before
  Daniel King: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: we went on to
  Daniel King: Definitely.
  Patrick Kloster: the
  George Lyons: The th
  Patrick Kloster: to the whole design. But I'm glad we could make a bit.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: It's pretty different, if you
  Daniel King: It's
  Patrick Kloster: saw
  Daniel King: pretty
  Patrick Kloster: the
  Daniel King: different.
  Patrick Kloster: last one
  Daniel King: But
  Patrick Kloster: than this one.
  Daniel King: this is not really like for the group we were making our remote.
  George Lyons: No.
  Daniel King: This will really require a lot of marketing
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. It will.
  Daniel King: to get this to sell.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: 'Cause
  George Lyons: But um
  Daniel King: if older people like familiar forms and familiar stuff. This is not familiar for them.
  Patrick Kloster: No, but
  Daniel King: So
  Patrick Kloster: I
  Daniel King: we're
  Patrick Kloster: think
  Daniel King: gonna have to do a lotta convincing them.
  Patrick Kloster: I think the most
  George Lyons: But they know the scroll-buttons from uh old radios. Uh they cal also uh buttons like that for uh
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: That's right.
  George Lyons: changing uh channels. So
  Patrick Kloster: We can let
  George Lyons: maybe it's
  Patrick Kloster: l
  George Lyons: uh
  Patrick Kloster: We can stick it out, a bit. Like a old old
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: buttons.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Maybe that's recognisable for them as well.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. That's a good one. So, I'm afraid we have to move on. And it's uh it's b uh less frightening, I think. If they see this design they think oh, there are only five buttons, and uh
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: But
  Daniel King: That's
  Patrick Kloster: we
  Daniel King: true.
  Patrick Kloster: will see.
  Daniel King: Might uh might be confusing too.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. That's
  Daniel King: They'd
  George Lyons: Mm-hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: definitely
  Daniel King: be like, what?
  Patrick Kloster: right.
  Daniel King: Only five buttons?
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: But very special, so uh
  Patrick Kloster: I would buy
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: it.
  Daniel King: But you're not sixty.
  Patrick Kloster: That's right. I would buy it if I was six. No I don't know. What it costs under twelve and a half Euros? No? Uh, yes they are.
  George Lyons: No.
  Patrick Kloster: No. But we can go on with the project evaluation.
  Daniel King: Mm-hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: Let's see. I can sit down I think. We still have fifteen minutes left, so we're nice on schedule.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Um, the project process.
  Daniel King: So um, I like set up all these criteria. And
  Patrick Kloster: Evaluation
  Daniel King: evaluation
  Patrick Kloster: criteria.
  Daniel King: of the
  Patrick Kloster: That's right. That was the
  Daniel King: thingy.
  Patrick Kloster: the point I forgot. I should There we are. Evaluation criteria.
  Daniel King: Thank you.
  Patrick Kloster: Go ahead. We've got five minutes I think for those criteria.
  Daniel King: Five more minutes?
  Patrick Kloster: No we've got fifteen minutes but
  Daniel King: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh yes. What?
  Daniel King: 'Kay so I did some literature study study, and analysis of the requirements we set up earlier.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh yeah.
  Daniel King: Translated it into criteria, which would be these. Um, is the remote fancy? The shape, look and feel. Innovative? What new functions are there? Uh, easy to use? Uh, learnability is a very important factor here. Uh, is it functional? Are there not too many functions uh among the functions? And are the those functions that are there, are they useful? And the cost. The target group. Is the remote really for the group we're making it for? And recognability. If our company is If it is easily recognisable that our company made it? And So we're supposed to evaluate it right now.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay.
  Daniel King: Let's see. Oh I have to say this was a little hard, because the minutes of our last meeting were not here.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah, that's
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: because my pen failed to upload his data.
  Daniel King: Okay.
  George Lyons: Yeah?
  Patrick Kloster: I
  Daniel King: Interesting.
  Patrick Kloster: tried to but it's uh it's giving errors by downloading
  Daniel King: So
  Patrick Kloster: the software.
  George Lyons: Mm. 'Kay.
  Daniel King: Is the design fancy, on a scale of one to seven?
  Patrick Kloster: I think it's fancy.
  Dale Simpson: Six.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Uh six.
  Daniel King: We all go for six?
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Six.
  Daniel King: Good. Um, is the design innovative?
  Patrick Kloster: Very.
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Daniel King: I think so, with
  George Lyons: Sh
  Daniel King: our L_C_D_
  Patrick Kloster: Subtitles,
  Daniel King: screen, docking station,
  Patrick Kloster: buttons.
  Daniel King: scroll-buttons.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Seven.
  Daniel King: Seven?
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. So we've got twenty cents for our docking station, huh?
  Daniel King: Should be do-able.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. That's right.
  Daniel King: Is the design easy to use?
  George Lyons: Mm. Not
  Patrick Kloster: That's
  George Lyons: really.
  Patrick Kloster: a bit dodgy.
  Daniel King: Well Would be for us. But
  George Lyons: For old people
  Patrick Kloster: I would
  George Lyons: I
  Patrick Kloster: say
  George Lyons: I
  Patrick Kloster: four.
  Dale Simpson: Four
  George Lyons: W
  Dale Simpson: or five.
  Patrick Kloster: Four
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: or
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: five between.
  George Lyons: Four.
  Patrick Kloster: Between four or five.
  Daniel King: I'd go for four, too.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. Is it functional?
  Daniel King: Is the design functional? Um, do we have all functions that we want to include?
  Patrick Kloster: Yes.
  George Lyons: N Yeah.
  Daniel King: I think we do. Do we have too many functions?
  Dale Simpson: No.
  Patrick Kloster: No.
  George Lyons: No.
  Daniel King: I don't think so. It's pretty slim.
  Patrick Kloster: Think it's uh seven.
  Daniel King: Seven. and do we um take care of the biggest frustrations of the remote control? Like it getting lost and
  George Lyons: Mm
  Daniel King: R_S_I_
  Dale Simpson: Mm, we haven't
  George Lyons: m
  Dale Simpson: thought of that one.
  Daniel King: influences?
  Patrick Kloster: It was.
  Daniel King: Think we do.
  Patrick Kloster: I had them worked out. Mm. They are ugly, not very functional, and getting lost.
  Daniel King: Are the
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: production costs within the preset limits? Well they are now.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: Does the design fit the group of focus?
  Dale Simpson: I think
  George Lyons: Mm,
  Dale Simpson: that's a three.
  George Lyons: th yeah.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: No I think
  Daniel King: I think
  Patrick Kloster: with our
  Daniel King: it doesn't.
  Patrick Kloster: new
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: radio button, I think it's uh
  George Lyons: Uh
  Patrick Kloster: I think it's better.
  George Lyons: We have to test
  Daniel King: I don't
  George Lyons: it s
  Daniel King: know.
  George Lyons: But
  Dale Simpson: I still I think it's
  Daniel King: I think
  Patrick Kloster: I think
  Dale Simpson: too
  Patrick Kloster: it
  Dale Simpson: m too fancy. Too too
  Daniel King: I think
  Dale Simpson: flashy.
  Daniel King: a radio button is not exactly what older people expect to have a remote control.
  George Lyons: Uh, yeah, true.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. I would give it a four.
  Daniel King: I'm not sure. I think I'd go for two.
  George Lyons: I go for three. So
  Patrick Kloster: Then we have to do the three. It's the
  Daniel King: 'Kay.
  Daniel King: Is the company company recognisable?
  Patrick Kloster: Yes
  George Lyons: Yeah
  Patrick Kloster: it
  George Lyons: yeah.
  Daniel King: Well,
  Patrick Kloster: is.
  Daniel King: we have the logo there.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: So
  Patrick Kloster: And they wanna put fashion in their products. Uh in the slogan of the company. And we have the removable front cases.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: So,
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: I think it's very recognisable. Yep.
  Daniel King: So that will be this. I was also supposed to calculate the score, but thought we would have another private
  Patrick Kloster: We've got a calculate
  Daniel King: thingy after
  Patrick Kloster: it.
  Daniel King: this.
  Patrick Kloster: Mm?
  Dale Simpson: Twendag
  Daniel King: Is this
  Dale Simpson: sieven
  Daniel King: Like after
  Dale Simpson: an
  Daniel King: this,
  Dale Simpson: twendag.
  Daniel King: are we done? Or
  Patrick Kloster: N We've gonna
  Daniel King: We're gonna
  Patrick Kloster: We're
  Daniel King: go
  Patrick Kloster: going
  Daniel King: to our
  Patrick Kloster: to
  Daniel King: other
  Patrick Kloster: evaluate
  Daniel King: room again.
  Patrick Kloster: it.
  Daniel King: Well, anyhow. These are seven factors times seven is forty something. Two? No. Nine?
  Patrick Kloster: Forty nine.
  Daniel King: Uh, minus one. Minus three, minus four. Minus four. So that would be minus eight. Forty one
  Patrick Kloster: Forty one.
  Daniel King: out of forty nine.
  Patrick Kloster: That's Around
  Daniel King: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: eighty percent. What is it?
  Daniel King: Guess I'll just type that in on the bottom here.
  Patrick Kloster: That's eighty four percent. I
  George Lyons: Hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: think that's a pretty nice score.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: Hmm. 'Kay. So that will be the evaluation.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. Thank you. So, that brings us to the project evaluation. Yep. Thank you. Project process. Did we move through the right phases, you think? Along the process?
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  George Lyons: Yeah. But it
  Daniel King: Think we should have a should have had the finance thingy a lot earlier.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: That's right.
  Daniel King: In the design phase.
  Patrick Kloster: So lack of information about prices.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: That's
  Daniel King: Definitely.
  Dale Simpson: true.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. Uh Okay. Satisfaction. Was there room for creativity?
  Daniel King: No.
  Patrick Kloster: No?
  Daniel King: Not too much. No.
  Patrick Kloster: It's because of the finance sheet.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah, there w there was enough
  Daniel King: Yeah,
  Dale Simpson: room,
  Daniel King: true.
  Dale Simpson: but the finance
  Daniel King: But
  Patrick Kloster: The
  Dale Simpson: uh
  Patrick Kloster: room
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: was Yeah.
  Daniel King: And I would've liked to go for the younger users also. And just to be able to access internet and get something of your own.
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: Restrictions. Internet access. 'Kay. Leadership. Was it clear what everybody had to do uh according to their roles and functions?
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah?
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Teamwork? Did
  George Lyons: So
  Patrick Kloster: it work out? Working together? Also, you two of you with the uh
  Dale Simpson: Yes, was okay.
  Patrick Kloster: last
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: phase? Nice.
  Dale Simpson: The tasks are very structured, so you can just do step by step and
  George Lyons: Mm-hmm.
  Daniel King: Mm-hmm.
  Dale Simpson: it's very easy.
  Patrick Kloster: tasks. Okay. Were the means sufficient for the tasks uh we had to do? Or were they too much?
  Dale Simpson: Well,
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Dale Simpson: the smart-board, the d d drawing is just a pain in the ass, but
  Patrick Kloster: Smart-board.
  Dale Simpson: The digital the digital pen is very nice.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: If it wants
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  George Lyons: But
  Patrick Kloster: to download its uh
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Uh
  Patrick Kloster: data. Failed download. Smart-board was irritating. So you rather wanted to have a flip-over? Or something
  Dale Simpson: A flip-over
  Patrick Kloster: else?
  George Lyons: Yeah. A flipper's
  Dale Simpson: or a more
  George Lyons: uh easier,
  Dale Simpson: precise
  George Lyons: so
  Dale Simpson: uh
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Faster
  Dale Simpson: digit
  Patrick Kloster: as well,
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: I think. Yeah. Flip-over.
  George Lyons: But if you want to share uh of uh when you make um a picture like this uh on the presentation, it's easier to uh share it with uh other people. Uh so uh you can sh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: save it uh and uh put it on the internet, or uh uh in shared f uh folder or uh sh uh shared
  Daniel King: Yeah,
  George Lyons: directory.
  Daniel King: I tried to
  George Lyons: So
  Daniel King: open the file
  George Lyons: So
  Daniel King: on my laptop,
  George Lyons: Yeah?
  Daniel King: but
  Dale Simpson: No.
  George Lyons: No?
  Dale Simpson: Didn't work.
  Daniel King: not possible.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh you need a smart board uh
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: application I think.
  George Lyons: T can uh
  Patrick Kloster: But
  George Lyons: can you
  Patrick Kloster: I think
  George Lyons: export
  Patrick Kloster: you can
  George Lyons: it uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: like a
  Patrick Kloster: Should be possible.
  Daniel King: no.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah you can export it as image. Must Yeah must be
  Daniel King: Should've done that then.
  Patrick Kloster: So the sharing of the information was uh was okay?
  Daniel King: Pen is here.
  Dale Simpson: Yes.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh, network.
  George Lyons: Uh.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah, pen is here on the table.
  George Lyons: Uh, yeah. So you
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: can Uh
  Daniel King: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: It's
  George Lyons: It's
  Patrick Kloster: possible.
  George Lyons: possible.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay.
  George Lyons: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: That's nice. Have we found new ideas for having this kind of meetings? Or
  George Lyons: Um, yeah
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Um it's uh easier to uh to do the th things that are like that on a computer.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Uh, so uh just l uh
  Patrick Kloster: So
  George Lyons: like uh at u university uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: So
  Patrick Kloster: So everybody
  Daniel King: Mm-hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: puts his own score. And
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: then
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: it mediates the score, and
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: you can get one
  Dale Simpson: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. That's better. So that's uh How do we call?
  Patrick Kloster: Evaluation criteria.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. Mm, any more ideas? Or questions about the project? Or about the product?
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: Because I think then that we get to our last sheet. Are the costs within the budget?
  George Lyons: Mm yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: They are.
  Dale Simpson: Considering
  Patrick Kloster: Do we
  Dale Simpson: we are not going to make a docking station.
  Patrick Kloster: Docking station. That's a good point. But maybe because of the docking station the price of the remote can also be a little bit higher?
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh
  Dale Simpson: Perhaps.
  Patrick Kloster: and I think you can compensate that as well.
  George Lyons: Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: So I think that shouldn't be the biggest problem, because it's very cheap to make as well.
  Dale Simpson: Mm-hmm.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Do we think we gonna get the twelve and a half million? Or what was it?
  Daniel King: Fifty grand.
  Patrick Kloster: Fifteen fifteen million. I think we will. If we gonna export this product. It's
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: innovative. Especially in America. People are pretty decadent.
  George Lyons: Yeah. Mm.
  Patrick Kloster: Sometimes.
  Daniel King: Yeah, still I
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Daniel King: think I mean if we're n gonna make a scroll-button anyway
  Patrick Kloster: You
  Daniel King: it'd
  Patrick Kloster: can
  Daniel King: be
  Patrick Kloster: do
  Daniel King: more
  Patrick Kloster: more.
  Daniel King: for the younger people than for the older people.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Ah.
  Daniel King: So maybe we should just re-focus.
  Patrick Kloster: Just put it on the market for everybody. You
  George Lyons: Ah.
  Daniel King: Or
  Patrick Kloster: can
  Daniel King: specifically for
  Patrick Kloster: you
  Daniel King: younger
  Patrick Kloster: can change
  Daniel King: people.
  Patrick Kloster: markets where by changing the front covers.
  George Lyons: Ah.
  Patrick Kloster: That's one thing you can
  Daniel King: That's true.
  Patrick Kloster: change it with. So you can also try to uh reach the younger people by uh putting fancy covers on on the market. Just as a test. See how it works. That's I think a good advantage.
  Daniel King: Yeah, I think then it would be way more uh popular with younger people than it is, than would be with older people.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  Daniel King: Even if it were their covers.
  George Lyons: Hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: Uh, uh
  Daniel King: But
  Patrick Kloster: then I think we can have our little celebration, right now. That's it.
  Daniel King: Party party.
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah. I think we still have to fit in one more questionnaire.
  George Lyons: Where's the champagne?
  Daniel King: 'Kay.
  Patrick Kloster: I think. I don't know. I didn't get a message from the from ending of the
  George Lyons: Uh, I believe y uh
  Patrick Kloster: Oh
  Daniel King: Oh
  Patrick Kloster: I
  Daniel King: you
  Patrick Kloster: think
  Daniel King: did.
  Patrick Kloster: I have one now. Five more minutes? Oh that's
  George Lyons: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: nice. Then we still have some questions. If somebody has some questions they can ask them now. Or we can put these in the project folder as well.
  Daniel King: Mm-hmm.
  Patrick Kloster: Maybe that's
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Export as picture, I think.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Hmm. This is another network, I guess.
  Patrick Kloster: Does somebody see the project folder? I don't. Hmm. My Documents.
  George Lyons: Uh maybe uh they will save it. So uh
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah, I'll just
  Daniel King: Yeah,
  Patrick Kloster: put it
  Daniel King: it
  Patrick Kloster: in
  Daniel King: probably
  Patrick Kloster: My Documents
  Daniel King: will.
  Patrick Kloster: and uh That's okay.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. I think I'm going to make our final presentation now.
  Daniel King: Oh yeah, you're supposed to make
  Patrick Kloster: And then
  Daniel King: a final
  Patrick Kloster: I will be back in about ten minutes to show you the final presentation.
  George Lyons: Okay.
  Dale Simpson: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: Summary of the project.
  Daniel King: Are we supposed to go into our own rooms again?
  George Lyons: Uh maybe we have to fill uh another
  Patrick Kloster: Yeah.
  George Lyons: questionnaire.
  Patrick Kloster: Questionnaire.
  George Lyons: So uh
  Patrick Kloster: I think you
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: all get a questionnaire in
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: in your room.
  George Lyons: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: And then I'll meet you in I think about ten minutes,
  Dale Simpson: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: or something.
  George Lyons: Okay.
  Patrick Kloster: Okay. Thank you. Hopefully my pen will download its software.
  Daniel King: Yeah.
  Patrick Kloster: Oh. Or data.
  Daniel King: That'd be nice.
Updated Content: In the detailed design meeting the team created a prototype. Along with buttons for numbers, channel selector, volume, mute, on-off, teletext, and subtitles, the prototype included an LCD screen and a help button for functional information. One rechargable battery, single-curve form and plastic case, brought the total cost to 17 Euros. To reduce this cost, it was decided to replace most buttons with a scrollwheel. The remaining buttons were one for channel selection, one for volume (both assisted by the scrollwheel), teletext, on-off and the help button. A suggestion to target the product to a younger or perhaps more general group was met with approval. All these components were re-arranged in a revised prototype. It was evaluated on a scale from 1 to 7 on the basis of the following criteria: fancy design (6), technological innovation (4), functionality (7), consideration of the target group (3). The remote was also recognisable as a fashionable Real Reaction product. The project process was deemed well-structured, although everyone thought it would have been better had they known the component prices at an earlier stage. Teamword and leadership were good, but room for creativity impeded by budget constraints.
