if you leave them on the whole time you get to look like a noodle the whole time is that someone is is that thank you 3 apparently okay you all switched on okay yep me too i presume we are good to go okay minutes we decided to use a kinetic charger standard chip cause it can come in various different sizes it was not going to be a problem factor we wanted a stand by function the case material is going to be soft rubbery changeable buttons with a combination of l c d and rubber according to the design bright funky designs inspired by fruit keeping with the hip kind of feel and to try and incorporate voice recognition software into our design until we can find out more about the cost of things like that and the rubber buttons that we will use will be anti r s i okay prototype presentation is that for us i think that would be you yep okay me and william worked on a prototype and i think william is going to make a p presentation on that yeah shall i show yeah i will show though do you do you want to do you want to sh do you want to hold it and i will i will show you the presentation make sure the camera is i can hold it like yeah so can i just nick your yes yes you can wait a 2nd i will get it out whoa it looks going a bit crazy over here crazy okay thank you you should have one of those things and you can just take it off not now 0 yeah ta da 0 where are the hinges okay so this is our look and feel presentation the final our final presentation right kay and we will 1st look at the exterior of what we have come up with over there kay it is going to have a a plastic body with a sort of standard color you able to look yep either we are thinking some something fairly neutral like a a white or a light blue or something this is underneath the rubberised the rubberised outer casing which there would be sort of a wide choice they would be attached but we can we can come up with that okay the wide choice of colors and sort of patterns so you have got you have got a lot of customisation with it it is obviously an a sort of clam shell design and the the top l c d screen that you can see that would b would be sort of how do you say it is yeah yeah the black and white touch screen wherein people can it would be sort of inset into the into the top and the buttons at the bottom would d so so it will fully close flat so it is flush right 0 right okay yeah yeah yeah and working on the inside we have already said d decided on the kinetic batteries which actually thinking about it now could y could also probably attach to the flipping open and shut as well so that you could probably get a bit of so put it in the top section rather than the bottom sections cause it is the top part that is okay yeah yeah we decided that the voice recognition system it did actually say on the email that they were sort of coming in and they were fairly easy to get a hold of so we presumed that they would also be quite cheap so you would have something like where you would shout out where where is the remote and it will shout back i am here or something or something and then yeah it wo it will not shout out i am here or something it will just shout out i am here or something to similar effect okay kay i am under the sofa ah oka or that would be too complicated yeah if it was going like i d well tha that could be something for next time maybe you can have a remote that tells you exactly where it is the standard there is be a standard transmission with the t v using using all the standard chips that we have talked about infrared it would it would have obviously cause it is split over 22 different layers it would need 2 separate p c b s so it would be joined at the hinge through some sort of cabling and because obviously all t v s use this the same infrared medium we would just be using using the same thing to transmit the data and the infrared sender would be on the on one of the bot the bottom layer just at the front of the we have not i do not think we actually put it on like here yeah yeah something like that okay infrared could be here also actually no it would be it would have to be on the on the front yeah on the front on the front side of that yeah yeah here so when it is even if it is open here the signals would go 0 right yeah okay yeah i have got you it is still pointing yes so when you have actually got it open it would be facing the t v yeah yeah that would make sense and then finally on to the interface the top screen as we said is would be an inset black and white l c d s touch screen which yeah would this one right here have all of all of the the available functions for for the remote on it whereas the bot the bottom screen would just contain the standard buttons like the vo volume up and down channel up and down power on and off and things to that effect okay and now we have we also decided on the inside we could possibly either have some some kind of sort of bezzled logo on it or something inset or maybe an engraving of the logo on the top which is but not interfering with the outside kind of look of the product once it is no d not not actually no no not interfering with l the whole look of the the product when it is on the thing look up to it okay and finally that is how we put the fashion back into electronics as that is that is the company logo thank you very much yay wrapping it all up okay well done i have now got evaluation criteria certainly so this is the one sorry it is to be presented there you go logged in thank you oops okay evaluation i i think this is chip it is quite similar to what it was before though okay sorry this stage of the evaluation is really for us as a team to evaluate if we have now got a product specification and prototype design that meets the the criteria that we got from our market research so this is the 1st stage of the evaluation now the collection of the criteria as we saw in our previous meeting was based on the user requirements and trends found in the marketing reports and marketing strategy of our company so it is what we have discussed in the last meeting are we actually meeting those trends and requirements now the findings that we came up with just a recap are here the criteria that we want in this remote control are a fancy look and feel technological innovation it should be easy to use it should incorporate current fashion trends and those the 2 main ones they were the spongy texture and the fruit and vegetable strong design colors the design should minimize r s i and be easy to locate and we were still slightly ambivalent as to whether to use voice recognition there though that did seem to be the favored strategy but there was also on the sideline the though of maybe having a beeper function okay so we can come back to that slide if you do not have a note of those i will just show you how we are going to evaluate our own feedback to this to what we have so far we are going to use a 7 point scale where one is true and 7 is false we look at each of those criteria that i have just mentioned i will call that slide back up and i will just do a preliminary rating of all those criteria on the whiteboard here yeah does that seem clear any questions there ah it is perfect so we are going to look at these crite is it everybody is going to evaluate or just the market okay yes we are going to come to w we will discuss each one and we will come to a consensus rating between one and 7 okay is that okay kay one is true 7 is false right so i will not write all of that out again it will just be criteria 123456 or a b c d e f to confuse it with the number rating b c d e f this is where i realize how tiny i actually am just write small criteria and rating actually it might be an idea if we each did give our own individual rating and we could take an average at the end how about that yeah yeah so you can yeah okay that works okay so i will just separate the ratings by obliques and if we go 1234 we know who is who yeah okay criteria a the fancy look and feel how do we feel about this prototype model relating to fancy it is a fancy look and feel one is true 7 is false my own rating for that would be a 2 one is true and 7 is false i would agree yeah i would yeah i would probably put it 2 yeah 2 or 3 i will just go this way okay kay 2 no 3 3 okay i would say 2 2 i would say 4 a 4 okay adding those up we have got a 6 and a 511 divided by 4 is what 2 and 3 quarters it that right yeah almost 3 2 and 3 quarters i think yeah yeah yeah okay 275 there we go okay criteria b criterion b technologically innovative i would give that a 3 i would give it a one okay not that you are biased in that it the designer no no not at all a 2 0 sorry i i got it wrong the 1st one rating i am sorry can you just make it 2 the average 0 for you the 1st yeah i i just it the other way you want your rating to be a 2 in is that what you are saying yep i just got okay so i will work out the average for that again at the end it is a very slightly altered okay and we are just waiting for your rating f 2 point f it is just 25 for that one 25 okay yeah losing one decimal place that is okay one is a 7 is false okay so what are you rating for this one paw 2 2 okay so that is 8 that brings it down to 2 nice and simple yeah 2 okay ease of use easy to use based on what you have said there i would say a one true 2 2 i would say a 2 a 2 okay i would say a 2 2 2 i should have said a 2 to make the arithmetic easy should not i we will just put almost 2 because i am not going to get into silly decimal places one7 f 5 yeah okay okay or we or if we want to really bring it down we can do later now we are looking at it incorporates current fashion trends d now that is particularly in relation to our market research findings about the spongy texture to the exterior and the fruit and vegetable design colors one yeah right so i am just thinking before i give it my rating you were limited in the use of materials for your prototype here yeah that is is this actually going to be the colors that you would use no no the the base color was white or or like or l sort of a light blue white with for the plastic blue but the changeable fa faces would allow you to get any basically any one of a number of colors that th it is full sort of customized right any so we could use any strong fruit and veg colors and that is what we are intending to do right yeah yeah yeah and okay and the spongy feel is no problem with that no no cause th that is that is the the spongy feel would be in the rubber that you put round it yeah because you will be having a because of the rubber case that otherwise it is just sort of hard plastic okay in that case it has got to be a one for me yeah i will give it a one as well yep everybody one okay one that part was nice and easy yeah okay moving on to does the design minimize repetitive strain injury i do not think we have really touched on that a lot no we have we have discussed it we have not really come up with anything that we felt could feasibly reduce that we have talked about pointers but the very use of a remote control if you are someone who is zapping who is sitting like that and we found so many people did how do you minimize that on such a small device yeah well the type of button that we are going to use in the bottom half the material minimizes r s i it is meant to it is meant to be maybe because it is slightl with the size that we have got it is quite small but with the amount of stuff we are putting on it is not that much so maybe because there is more space it is not kind of moving around trying to hit accurately the buttons in between right it is quite obvious just big buttons right i think i am going to have to be neutral on that and give it a 4 yeah yeah i would i would f i would go for a 5 actually cause a 5 okay 4 4 and a 4 okay 4 21 is that 21 so that is 425 yep and finally last but not least easy to locate now we talked about voice recognition we talked about a beeper have we really have the designers come to any dec real decision on that yeah yeah it was it was a voice voice recognition yeah voice r recognition it was the i am here thing yep and are we happy with the costs on that that is going to be feasible cost wise yeah yeah that yeah that is feasible that sounds good then i would go for a i ca we can adjust the volume on that just as we could volume on t v i think it would r so if sombody is in the other room or if t v s in different rooms or i think it would probably be a a stand it would be a stand it would be quite loud a standard it would be right okay so it would be s p yeah you built into the feature and if you did not hear it in the room that you were standing in then you would realize that it was not in that room you would go into another room okay yeah logical that is a one for me yeah one one and one good one i do realize that we might be being fairly biased cause it is our product but so how do we feel about this we have got our our we have got the highest rating of meeting the specifications that is definitely true for 2 of the 6 criteria there that is for incorporates current fashion trends and is easy to locate the lowest rating we have got which is really n it is not terribly low i it is close around neutral is for the minimisation of repetitive strain injury do we feel on the basis of tha of these evaluation findings that we can go ahead and now produce this as a prototype and market it or do we have to make further modifications i do not think so w i thin yeah i think yeah we happy to go ahead i think we yeah i think we are set yeah i think for most of those ratings that it is high enough at the upper end of the scale for us to go ahead with that and i really doubt if on the basis of current technology and our current capabilities we could actually do much more to minimize that do much apart from having a huge big i know okay well i hope that is clear to the team is there anything you would like to to ask me about the findings before i sum up do not think so no good fine then i will just leave it there okay thank you oops okay i have got finance here now i am going to plug this in so you can all see it if that is okay 0 yes you want me to b unplug that that is all yes thanks right okay now i presume that the screen will go blank that okay we just type numbers into this and we come out with the final value so are we still on for kinetic yeah yes okay see it would have been handy to have this at the beginning it might have influenced our choice right what is happening with the electronics it was a regular chip on print and chip on print double curved 0 no no no the yeah it is you you have put in 3 for the number of kinetic cells there should just be one in the top it is the number of c yeah 0 right okay thanks yeah and yeah just a no one reg v so would there be 2 one chip yeah one of them and one sample sensor and sample speaker okay okay yep and they are double curved no y single curved one double curve 2 cause it is 2 2 curves yeah but it has a slightly flattened bottom so it can sit so it can rest so what is a single curve then yeah i would say i would say it was w yeah i think i think it is it would just be a flat bottom with one curve like a domed thing so just one double single cu one double curved yeah and one no cause one yeah one is double curved and then the other one is plastic and rubber the other curves at the sides but it is slightly flattened at the bottom so it does not roll over yeah we have got plastic and rubber have not we a plastic yeah yeah plastic one and maybe rubber 5 and special color no i think rubber since it is being used just as a casing we can put 5 yeah do you think yeah because there are i think it allows the 5 yeah we can use that yeah okay what does it mean if you put 5 for that it means we are not using a lot of rubber actually we are using just it would be like saying we are using a very low quantity of rubber compared to plastic see it says case material so we are not actually using plastic in the case are we no no that is it is as an extra it is including it is including right okay so that should not that should not be actually on there because that is not incorporated in the cost of the remote you get but it is going to be part of the total cost and there is nowhere else we can we can put that in is there there is nowhere else we can code for the the rubber used in the casing so do we not have to account for it in the cost somewhere there okay we will just put it in as we will put in as half okay or sh we should just put it in as one because the plastic is 0 anyway yeah okay no we do not step on anyone is toes okay special color do we need that might do if we go for some of the more exotic aubergines and such like colors n yeah okay interface push button yeah the push button is one and l c display one one an one and buttons buttons s i think we could change the battery also instead of going for kinetic how about going for a standard battery has that not made any d if you click off that square now has that not made any difference well yes is it 0 it is brought it slightly down has that not gone up 0 no it was 75 it is changed not a lot so is is uncurved completely and just actually making the rubber case the curved thing is that going to make a difference yeah uncurved flat 0 it is not made any difference has it no we will have no it just surprises one 0 it is not calculated it no no you have got to click off to calculate it again 0 okay there we go it is brought it down slightly it is not a lot though c it might you might you might be assuming that that is in euros it could be in dollars and then it would be fine because the exchange range would make it about 12 i do not think so is there anything on the menu we have not been dealin we have not been dealing with dollars though i think no no ri i think it is in euro okay so the highest we have got is the electronics here and the interface if we tr if we moved away from our much loved idea of a kinetic battery and just went with the standard batteries would that make a huge difference and going to a regular bat yeah the standard it it would make one difference yeah the biggest one would be taking away if you took away what i feel is customers never said anything about the battery if you to it is internal nobody looks into the battery yeah but shape and colors that is something we should not comprimi and people are used to buying batteries they are not going to say i am not getting this cause i have got to buy a battery for a remote control if if you take away the voice i i do i do not like to say it but if you take away the voice recognition then you have got it where is that special form should we see what difference it makes where is the yeah i yeah no cause it is samples sens sample speaker where is the voice recognition right okay if you took away that that will make it 1235 well the kinetic is 3 if we change it to the battery it is that is -3 they n n yeah but you p -3 +2 0 right i keep seeing 0 we can do it some other way we can do it does not have to be voice recognition we could do the voice recognition for you know business class or something you know like an upgraded version yeah yeah sure you could choose to have that or not but they but i mean in i do not see why we have to sell it for €25 now because they w they were saying they were quite willing to pay more for better product but we are still working to head 0 so should we just change the design specification then make it costly we can put in our recommendations if we if we are working to head office specifications as this is what this project team is working for yes we can put in our recommendations for what we have we have found and what we the consensus that we have come to as a result of the meetings yeah we c we could s but we need to work to that specification to start with yeah we could say and i think the voice recognition sounds wonderful but our object is so distinctive that that in itself is going to make it easier to locate as a f you know in a 1st instance as you say we can offer the voice recognition initially to business class customers and so okay we can yeah i s make the price fit and then say if we would had our budget we would have had this because it also sets it apart from the crowd and then say we recommend yeah yeah cause we have done all the background work to go for that if they want it they like their gadgets they like something that is completely different yeah it is s something completely different associated with your company yeah right okay so so if we take voice recognition out that will do it 1235 yeah we are close to the budget we are is it 12 point fif was it 1250 25 it is 25 no it is 1225 are you sure sorry not meaning to doubt your words there yeah well 21225 times 2 is right 25 is not it are they really going to quibble about 10 p it is 125 maybe then or 01 of a euro which is less than 10 p i do not know what it said 50% of the cost i think the agenda one was where the price was was not it so half of the price would be no i think it is the 1st one that is today is kick off meeting 125 ah so we are under the budget i thought that is what it was well done people so we are okay okay so is that got us covered for the electronics then we do not need something else to take that place yeah no okay cause that that was just a bought on extra you could just take that out and that would be fine yeah okay seems fine yeah i think that is brilliant except voice recognition everything is right so we have done that okay product evaluation we have done room for creativity have not we yeah because we have got decisions that we would have made that we were not did not feel able to make yeah i presume we discussed leadership and teamwork yes yeah in the sense that did you feel like a team or did you feel like autonomy yeah i would say as a team although we had our separate tasks there was so much interaction so much that we needed to bounce off each other i think we had a nice time yeah find out from each other yeah and i have certainly felt heard listened to in that in relevant areas we have been able to you know give and take and adjust our remit where necessary yeah yeah i think there was very constructive feedback by everybody it is not like people trying to cut each other there is more of true cohesive teamwork we came to a very predic creative design yeah yeah and yeah i think and sarah you coordinated the work very well thank you how did you find it yeah no i thought it it went really well and i yeah i i feel that everyone was listened to and all the points that were raised seem to have been sorted out although we did not quite make the voice recognition in there but that is that is good yeah i think it would have made it into the final product if it was actually if if if we would seen the marketing before the initial specification was put out i think maybe it would have come out a d little different but yeah yeah i liked the fact that we could say an idea and it would be suggested that that was not the best idea but no one felt like shot down yeah yeah you know y it did not matter it saying what you thought because if it was not something that was that relevant then it did not matter cause it was just another idea in the field i like that yeah teamwork well you 2 created that wonderful specimen of a play doh model yeah well i am still not caught up i think that was the best part of the but that is nothing to do with the teamwork at all maybe we should think of branching out into children is toys and fake mobile phones as a side line maybe and fake r c s kay no that was quite fun means whiteboard digital pens etcetera what does that mean discuss which ones yeah any ideas how do we evaluate the materials we had for communicating and sharing information yeah could it have been better was it adequate yeah i think i think we probably would have used the outer email system more had we actually had time to kind of had had more time and if we had been separated more yeah cause we could just sort of say sorry what did you say about that or what do you think about that yeah yeah rather than having to email it yeah yeah yeah but it was nice having it there like the whole picture of the thing yeah moving around the room yeah but i think it is good like we spent times individually i never thought of a remote control with a flip top yeah i think it is new ideas in general rather than it is really borrowing from other areas it is you know bringing things from other areas in yeah it so it is i mean nothing is new but it is applying it to a d in a different area vegetables that is mine yeah yeah no yeah it is well they have to come from somewhere do not they absolutely yeah the thing is and as sh as w sorry you go yep sorry go on sarah as was shown by your presentation with all of the other controls remote controls no one is thought about it particularly no i mean they are slightly different so if someone has been shut in the room and said make ours a bit different from everyone else is cause it is w something we should think about but obviously no one is put any great deal of thought into it yeah i do i do not think the the companies are really concerned they are just like we have got a d v d player does anyone remember the remote control can not you get the one that we used for the last one yeah just jazz it up a bit yeah d they do not really think about it because normally the remote control is not the product which they are trying to ship yeah they are trying to ship the d v d player the video player the t v yeah the focus is not on to that yeah but then when it everything is really smart and you have just got this big chunk of black thing sitting on your coffee table it does not go yeah yeah i mean if you could have something that is a proper funky thing a funky item that is individual individual to you no yeah i mean they could even go into you go in with an idea and they design it on photoshop and then they just get it printed on the plastic yeah you would pray you would pay a lot extra because it is individually being a plastic was being made for you yeah but people could have anything that they wanted surprising to me is like people give a lot of attention to modifying mobile phones like a real want to see a new launch or something like that because of the produ yeah and new f television products coming up but nobody giving much idea to this i think it is really good that this has been very market research based because just going back to mobile phones like sarah was telling everything is right i mean this is the 1st change in remote control devices that i can really you know say is is obvious and visible we see it in mobile phones a lot and tha that is where we have borrowed a lot of our ide our ideas from there are innovations in that that people do not really want yes i see people wanting a model of the phone they were really happy with and they can not get it anymore and it is innovation for innovation is sake yeah yeah and i think it is wonderful our company is so r and d based well it is innovation for money is sake yeah the the people have to keep buying but forcing it onto people yeah yeah it is things that you know they might want to buy the thing they really want and you can not get you have got your handset that works fine but you can not get the battery anymore for that type of phone because the phones have moved on things like that or there is not a cover to fit it or whatever yeah yes it is madness see i think in closing there we go our costs are below budget with recommendations that they the budget be increased but i think i do not know d what do you think do you think that is takes into account overheads like us being well paid kind of a thing and the heating for the building do you think our budget includes everything all the costs that are going out well i think it was just the produc just the production cost of the phone i think that was just the the physical so it looks well it looks like it is going to be 50% profit you have still got all of the overheads to come out of that yeah so maybe increasing it you would also have to increase the price that it is sold at yeah maybe 50% more yeah i think yeah i do not from the market research but i think but you were saying that that is quite but i think in the remit that we were given it was very specific i think we have done what we were required to do and i think there will have to be another project team or a new project for us to look at at those kind of things i do not think that is something we have to look at and find a way of raising the cash for yeah no yeah it was i think we have done very well to get within budget and it still makes such an innovative item that i think people are really going to want yeah yeah it is a shame it will not ever get made i know maybe it will maybe it will who knows maybe they are going to steal our ideas and sell it maybe someone will r run down and patent it i it is top secret it is it is it is a conspiracy going on here the project has been evaluated well and truly that is what it is yeah and we have got the meeting survey and questionnaire there is a final questionnaire 0 so we have got about 50 minutes to catch up with everything that i fell behind with so i will be delegating in my role as project supervisor so good luck in your yeah celebration you did not talk about that i think the celebration is the £25 either that or we will be dancing on the desks 0 questionnaire okay is that it then yeah just the last i think awesome i think i have got minutes for 2 of the meeting and the last thingy questionnaire done 0 i did not have to rate you on how much you influenced the meeting this time was that not the questionnaire for the how you felt you had done in your thing 0 right but do we not sometimes evaluate in these meetings too i do not think yeah the the s yeah yeah i think yeah questionnaire 7 was the one i did just before the meeting yeah i just got con
you leave them on the whole time you get to look like a noodle the whole time thank you okay thank you okay minutes we decided to use a kinetic charger standard chip because it can come in various different sizes it was not going to be a problem factor we wanted a standby function the case material is going to be soft rubbery changeable buttons with a combination of lcd and rubber according to the design bright funky designs and by 3 keeping with the hip kind of feel and to try and incorporate voice recognition software into our design until we can find out more about the cost of things like that and the rubber buttons that we will use will be anti rsi okay prototype presentation is that for us i think that would be you okay me and william worked on a prototype and i think william is going to make a presentation on that presentation on that yeah shall i show yeah i will show do you want to i can hold it like do you want to hold it and i will yeah i will show you the presentation can i just make you yes yes you can not wait so i will get it out whoa it looks it looks crazy over here crazy on thank you not now she just have one of those things and you can just take it up 0 that are the hinders okay so this is our look and feel presentation the final our final presentation and we will 1st look at the exterior of what we have come up with over there it is going to have a plastic body with a sort of standard color either we are thinking something fairly neutral like a white or a light blue or something this is underneath the rubber eye outer casing which there would be sort of a wide choice they would be attached but we could not come up with that the wide choice of colors and sort of patterns so you have got a lot of colors customization with it it is obviously in a sort of clamshell design and the top lcd screen that you can see there would be sort of how do you say so black and white touchscreen yeah yeah it would be sort of inset into the top and the buttons at the bottom would so it will fully close flat 0 right okay yeah yeah and working on the inside we have already said decided on the kinetic batteries which actually thinking about it now you could also probably attach to the flipping open and shut as well so that you could probably get a bit so put it in the top section rather than bottom section because of the top yeah we decided that the voice recognition system it did actually say on the that they were sort of coming in and they were fairly easy to get hold of so we presumed that they would also be quite cheap so you would have something like what you would shout out where where is the remote and it will shout back i am here or something and then yeah it will not shout out i am here or something it will just shout out i am here or something to similar effects yeah if it was getting that well that could be something for next time maybe you can have a remote that tells you exactly where it is there is a standard transmission with the tv using all the standard chips that we have talked about it would have obviously because it is split over 2 different layers it would need 2 separate pcbs that would be joined at the hinge through some sort of cabling and because obviously all tvs use this same infrared medium we would just be using the same thing to transmit the data and the infrared sender would be on one of the bottom layer just at the front of the i do not think we actually put it on yeah yeah someone like that infrared could be actually no it would be yeah on the front on the front side of that yeah 0 right yeah okay so when you have actually got to open it it would be facing the tv and then finally on the interface the top screen as we have said would be an inset black and white lcd touch screen which yeah would have all of the available functions for the remote on it whereas the bottom screen would just contain the standard buttons like the volume up and down channel up and down power on and off and things do that effect and now we also decided on the inside we could possibly either have some kind of sort of bezzled logo on it or something in set or maybe an engraving of the logo on the top but not interfering with the outside not actually no not interfering with the whole look of the product when it is out on the thing and finally that is how we put the fashion back into electronics thank you very much that is the company logo rapping it all okay i have now got evaluation criteria certainly so this is the one okay thank you oops sorry i think this is a good shape it is quite similar to whatever it is quite similar to what it was before there okay this stage of the evaluation is really for us as a team to evaluate if we have now got a product specification and prototype design that meets the criteria that we got from our market research so this is the 1st stage of the evaluation now the collection of the criteria as we saw in our previous meeting was based on the user requirements and trends found in the marketing reports and marketing strategy of our company so it is what we have discussed in the last meeting are we actually meeting those trends and requirements now the findings that we came up with just a recap are here the criteria that we want in this remote control are a fancy look and feel technological innovation it should be easy to use it should incorporate current fashion trends and those the 2 main ones that were the spongy texture and the fruit and vegetable strong design colors the design should minimize rsi and be easy to locate and we were still a slightly ambivalent as to whether to use voice recognition there but that did seem to be the favored strategy but there was also on the sideline the thought of maybe having a beeper function okay so we can come back to that slide if you do not have a note of those i will just show you how we are going to evaluate our own feedback to this to what we have so far we are going to use a 7 point scale where one is true and 7 is false you will look at each of those criteria that i have just mentioned i will call that slide back up and i will just do a preliminary rating of all those criteria on the white board here does that seem clear any questions there so we are going to look at these is it everybody is going to evaluate or just the model yes we are going to discuss each one and we will come to our consensus rating between one and 7 okay one is true 7 is false right so i will not write all of that out again it will just be criteria one 2 3 4 5 6 or a b c d d e s to confuse it with denumber rating this is where i realize how tiny i actually am just write slowly criteria and rating actually it might be an idea if we each did give our own individual rating take an average at the end how about that yeah so you can okay so i will just separate the ratings by obliques and if we go 1234 we know who is here yeah okay criteria a the fancy look and feel how do we feel about this prototype model relating to fancy it is a fancy look and feel one is true 7 is false my own rating for that would be a 2 one is 2 and 7 is 4 i would agree yeah i would probably put it 2 yeah 2 or 3 no 33 okay as a 2 024 a 4 okay adding those up we have got 6 and a 5 we have got 6 and 5 11 divided by 4 is what 23 23 quarter i think yeah yeah yeah okay 275 there we go okay criteria b criterion b technologically innovative i would give that a 3 i would give it a one i would give it a one not that you are biased no no not at all a 2 0 sorry i got it wrong the 1st one rating i am sorry can you just make it 2 the average yeah i just thought it does you want your rating to be a 2 in a is that what you are saying yep i just got so i will work out the average for you that again at the end it is a very slightly altered okay i am just waiting for your rating 25 for that one 25 okay losing one decimal please that is good so you are rating for this one 2 okay so that is 8 that brings it down to 2 nice and simple yeah okay ease of use easy to use based on what you have said there i would say a one true 2 2 2 i would say a 2 2 okay 2 2 2 i should have said a 2 to make the arithmetic we should we will just put almost 2 because i am not going to get into silly decimal places okay okay we want to really bring it down we can do later now we are looking at it incorporates current fashion trends and that is particularly in relation to our market research findings about the spongy texture to the exterior and the fruit and vegetable design color yeah right so i am just thinking before i give it my writing you were limited in the use of materials for your prototype here is this actually going to be the colors that you do no the base color was white or light blue but the changeable facieus would allow you to get any basically any one of a number of colors it is full sort of custom so we could use any strong fruit and veg colors and that is what we are attending to do yeah yeah and the spongy feel is no problem with that no no because that is that is the the spongy feel would be in the rubber that you put round it that otherwise it is just sort of hard plastic in that case it has got to be a one for me yeah i will give it a one as well yeah everybody okay one that part was nice and easy yeah okay moving on to does the design minimize repetitive strain injury i do not think we have really touched on that a lot we have discussed it we have not really come up with anything that we felt could feasibly reduce that we have talked about pointers the very use of a remote control if you are someone who is zapping who is sitting like that we found so many people did how do you minimize that in such a small device well the type of button that we are going to use in the bottom half the material it is meant to be it is meant to maybe because it is like with the size that we have got it is quite small but with the amount of stuff we are putting on it is not that much so maybe because there is more space it is not kind of moving around to kind of hit accurately the buttons in between right it is quite obvious just big buttons right i think i am going to have to be neutral on that and give it a 4 yeah i would go for a 5 actually 4 okay 4 4 and 4 4 4 okay 21 that is 21 so that is 425 yep and finally last but not least easy to locate we talked about voice recognition we talked about a deeper we really in the design we would come to any yeah it was a voice it was the voice recognition yeah and we are happy with the cost and that is going to be yeah yeah that is feasible that sounds good then i would go for we can adjust the volume on that just as we could volume on tv i think it would someone is in the other room or tvs in different rooms i think it would probably be a a standard it would be a standard it would be quite loud it would be so it would be and if you did not hear it in the room you were standing in then you realized it was not in that room you were going to the room okay is that the one for me yeah one one one good i do realize that we might be being fairly biased being fairly biased because it is in a product so how do we feel about this we have got the highest rating of meeting the specifications that is definitely true for 2 of the 6 criteria there that is for incorporates current fashion trends and it is easy to locate the lowest rating we have got which is really it is not terribly low it is closer around neutral is for the minimisation of repetitive strain injury do we feel on the basis of these evaluation findings that we can go ahead and now produce this as a prototype and market it or do we have to make further modification i do not think so i think yeah i think for most of those ratings it is high enough at the upper end of the scale for us to go ahead with that and i really doubt if on the basis of current technology and our current capabilities we could actually do much more part of having a huge big i know okay and i hope that is clear to the team is there anything you would like to ask me about the findings for i am not no good fine now i am just a bit now okay thank you okay okay i have got finance here now i am going to plug this in so you can all see it that is okay okay okay okay you want me to unplug that yeah yeah  right i presume that the screen of our client that we just type numbers into this and we come out with the final value so are we still on for kinetic yeah okay see it would have been handy to have this at the beginning it might have been influenced our choice right what is happening with the electronics there is regular chip on print and 0 no no no the yeah it is you have put in 3 for the number of kinetic cells there should just be one in the top it is the number 0 right okay yes yeah and so would there be 2 no one reg one chip yeah one of them and one sample sensor in sample speaker okay okay yeah and they are double curve no one double curve 2 because it is 2 so it is a single curve yeah i would say it was you would say it was yeah i think it is one double curved and what no because one yeah one is double curved and then the other ones the other one is slightly flattened at the bottom so it does not roll over plastic we have got plastic and rubber have not we yeah yeah plastic one and maybe a point fired no i think rubber since it is being used just as a casing we can put 5 yeah yeah because there are i think it allows a 5 yeah we can use that yeah what does it mean if you put 5 for that means we are not using a lot of rubber actually we are using a very low quantity of rubber compared to plastic see it says case material so we are not actually using plastic in the case no no that is it is as an extra so that should not be actually on there because that is not incorporated in the cost of the remote you get but it is going to be part of the total cost and there is nowhere else we can put that in is there there is nowhere else we can code for the rubber used in the casing so do we not have to account it put in the cost somewhere there okay we will just put it in as we will put it in as half okay we should just put it in as one because the plastic is over anyway yeah okay okay special color do you need that night do if they go for some of them are exotic aubergines and such light colors interface push button yeah the push buttons one and elsie display one yeah buttons you know i think we could change the battery how about going for a standard now it is not made any difference well it has got it slightly 0 no it was 75 it changed it is uncurbed completely and just actually making the rubber case the curved things that is going to make a difference and gold flat it is not made any different right no it will it is just right no you have got to click off to calculate it again okay there we go it might you might be assuming be assuming that that is in euros it could be in dollars and then would be fine because the exchange rate will make it a bad time is there anything like you we have not been dealing with dollars though i think i think it is a new one okay so the highest we have got is the electronics here if we if we moved away from our much loved idea of a kinetic battery and just let the standard batteries would that make a huge difference yeah the standard it would make one difference the biggest one would be taking away if you took away what i feel is customers never said anything about the battery it is internal nobody looks into the battery but shape and color that is something we should if you take away the voice i do not like to say it but if you take away the voice recognition then you have got it where is that special form so we see what difference it made where is the voice recognition it is samples sensor sample speaker if you took away that they will make it 1235 well the kinetic is 3 if we change it to the battery that is -3 yeah but you -3 +2 0 right we can do it some other way it does not have to be voice recognition we could do the voice recognition for business class business class or something you know like an upgraded version yeah you could choose to have that or not but i mean i do not see why we have to sell it for €25 now because they were saying they were quite willing to pay more for a better product but we are still working to so should we just change the design specification there we can put in our recommendations if we are working to head office specifications this is what this project team is working for we can put in our recommendations with what we have found and what we the consent is that we have come to the result of the meeting but we need to work to that specification to start with and i think the voice recognition sounds wonderful but our object is so distinctive that that in itself is going to make it easier to locate you know in a 1st instance as you say we can offer the voice recognition initially to business price customers okay we can make the price fit and then say if we had our budget we would have had this yeah because it also sets it apart from the crowd because we have done all the background work to go for that if they want to they like something that is completely different yeah someone completely different associated with your company right okay so if we take voice recognition out that will do it 1235 yeah we have close to the budget is it 1250 dual 5 was it 1250 no it is 1225 are you sure sorry not meaning to doubt your word yeah well 2 1225 times 2 are they going to really quibble about 10 p one01 over euro which is less than 10 p i do not remember but it said 50% is a cost so half of the price for it i think the jeter one was where the price was is not it no i think that is the 1st one that is today is 125 so we are under the image so we are okay okay so is that got us covered for the electronics then we do not need something else to take that place no okay because that was just a bolt on extra you could just take that out and it would be fine okay it seems fine yeah i think that is pretty ex of voice recognition everything is all right done that okay product evaluation we have done room for creativity have not we yeah we have got decisions that we would have made that we were not were not did not feel able to make i presume we discussed leadership and teamwork yes in the sense that did you feel like a team or did you feel like i would say as a team i think we had a step out there was so much interaction so much that we needed to find out from each time find out from each other and i have certainly felt heard listened to and that in relevant areas we have been able to give and take and adjust our remit yeah i think it is a very constructive feedback by everybody it is not like people trying to cut each other it is more of a through cohesive teamwork we came to a very pretty creative design yeah and yeah i think and sarah you coordinated the work very well thank you how did you find it yeah i thought it went really well and i yeah i i feel that everyone was listened to and all the points that were raised seemed to have been sorted out though we did not quite make the voice recognition in there but that is that is good yeah i think it would have made it into the final product if it was actually if we would seen the marketing before the initial specification was put out i think maybe it would have come out a little different i like the fact that we could say an idea and it would be suggested that there was not the best idea but no one felt like shot down yeah yeah you know it did not matter saying what you thought because if it was not something that was that relevant and it did not matter because it was just another idea in the field teamwork well you 2 created that wonderful specimen of a play doh model wow i think that was the best part of the i am still not caught up but that is nothing to do with the teamwork at all maybe we should think of branching out into children is toys and fake mobile phones if the sideline fake art no that was quite fun means whiteboard digital pens etc what is that i could we evaluate the materials we had for communicating and sharing information yeah could it have been better was it adequate yeah i think we probably would have used the actual email system more had we actually had time to kind of had more time and if we had been separated more yeah because we could just sort of sorry what did you say about that or what do you think about that rather than having to email it but it was nice having it there like the whole picture of the thing yeah but did not like moving around the room i think it is good like we spend times individually i never thought of a remote control with the flip top you know bringing things from other areas in it is i mean nothing in the need but it is applying it in a different area vegetables that is mine yeah yeah no well they have to come from somewhere do not they absolutely yeah and as sorry as was shown by your presentation with all of the other controls more controls no one is thought about it particularly i mean they are slightly different so someone has been shut in the room and said me car is a bit different from everyone else is because it is something we should think about but obviously no one is put any great deal of thought into it i do not think the companies are really concerned they are just like we have got a dvd player does anyone remember the remote control can not you get the one that we used for the last one yeah just jazz it up of it they do not really think about it because normally the remote control is not the product which they are trying to ship they are trying to ship the dvd player the video player the tv is really smart yeah and you have just got this big chunk of black thing sitting on your coffee table it does not go i mean if you could have something that is a proper funky thing a funky item that is individual individual to you i mean they could even go into you go in with an idea and they design it on photoshop and then they just get it printed on the plastic yeah you would pay a lot extra because it is individually being plastic was being made for you yeah but people could have anything that they wanted surprising things is like people give a lot of attention to modifying mobile phones like every month you see a new launch or something like that yeah and new television products coming up but nobody giving much idea to this i think it is really good that this has been very market research based because just going back to mobile phones i mean this is the 1st change in remote control devices that i can really you know say it is obvious and visible we see it in mobile phones a lot and that is where we have borrowed a lot of ideas from there are innovations in that that people do not really want i see people wanting a model of the phone they are really happy with and they can not get it anymore it is innovation for innovation is sake and i think it is wonderful that our company is so r d based well it is innovation for money to say that people have to keep buying but forcing it on to people yeah things that you know they might want to buy the thing they really want and you can not get you have got your hands out that works fine but you can not get the battery anymore for that type of phone because the phones have moved on things like that there is a cover to fit it yeah in closing our costs are below budget with recommendations that may the budget be increased but i think i do not know what do you think do you think that takes into account overheads like like us being well paid kind of thing and the heating for the building do you think our budget includes everything all the costs that are growing out i think it was just the product i think that was just the physical so it looks well it looks like it is going to be 50% profit you still got all of the overheads to come out of that so maybe increasing it you would also have to increase the price maybe you would think but you were saying that that is quite i think in the market research it was very specific i think we have done what we are required to do and i think like the other project team or any project for us to look at those kind of things i do not think that is something we have to look at and find a way of leaving the cash for yeah it was it is done very well to get within budget and it still makes such an innovative item yeah so i think people are really going to want it is a shame it will not ever get me maybe they are going to steal our idea it is top secret it is a conspiracy going on here the project has been evaluated well and truly yeah and we have got the meeting summary in question here is a final question so we have got about 50 minutes to catch up with everything that i felt behind with so i will be delegating in my role as project supervisor so good luck celebration you did not talk about that i think the celebration is the 20 5 times later or we will be dancing on the desk okay is that it then yeah just the last i think awesome i think i have got minutes for 2 of the meetings and the last thing question you have done well i did not have to rate you on how much you came to the meeting this time is that not the question after how you felt you are done in the thing 0 right but do we not sometimes evaluate the meeting yeah there is yeah question of 7 is the one i did before the meeting yeah i just got concerned
