Hmm.
So I had a look on the  on the web uh to see if I could find a few examples of existing television remote controls. In analysing these we can consider what what things  what's good about them , uh what things do they get right , what's bad about them , what's wrong with 'em , um how we can improve on the designs that that that I found and what can we do to make our product stand out from from the large majority of remote controls. Here's two examples uh probably at the extreme ends of the spectrum.
Um on the left here we've got uh an engineering-based design for a remote control ,
so it's one that's got lots of buttons , it's it's fully featured , everything you might possibly want to do is there , you know , it's got forward , backwards , up , down , channel numbers , volume , uh freeze frame. Yeah , it's it's fully featured and it might take a while to get to learn to use it , but once you've learned it you can  you can do whatever you want with your T_V_. The one on the right is a lot more basic. It's just got the essential functions of the T_V_ changing the channel , play , stop , volume. It would be a lot quicker to learn to use it , but again th it's it's swings and roundabouts. There are disadvantages , you can't use it say to to freeze the television picture. Uh there's a lot of features that are missing from that remote control. So we've got to to find our  find a way of striking a balance between the two. Um as I said before , remote controls are subjective , different people want want different things. Um personally wa what I want from a remote control is a device that's simple , it it's easy to use , uh it's got big buttons for doing the things I do most often , changing the volume , changing the channel. It it does everything that I need it to uh , as I said before , I'm quite lazy , I don't wanna walk across the room just to adjust my television. I also want something that that looks cool , um and that that feels good , that's ergonomically designed.
