okay so this is 1st meeting of this design project and i like to show you the agenda for the meeting i do not know if it was sent round to all of you yeah maybe not i did not receive it yet anyway this is the the plan for today is meeting is firstly just to introduce the project briefly although i am sure you have actually got some of the information already then the main purpose is to so that we get to know each other a little bit more then we want to practice using some of the tools that we will be using during the the course of the design project and the meetings specifically the whiteboard over there then we need to go through the specifics of our project plan and discuss come up with some preliminary ideas about it and then that is it so we have got 25 minutes to do that that is until 1125 so sh s so any any questions is i not at this point not at this point so this is our project what we are aiming to do is to create a new remote control for a television we want it to be something original something trendy and also something user friendly so it has to be quite intuitive that people are able to use this product the method that we are going to use to complete the project that has 3 components as such there is the functional design of the the remote control we are going the way we will do that i think is to to work individually initially and then come together for meetings to to work on that similarly with the conceptual design we will start off by working individually with our own expertise on our own laptops and then we will bring what we have done together and then the detailed design will come after that we will pull it all together i am a bit confused about what is the difference between the functional design and conceptual design i is it just more detail as i understand it i think it th w we are talking the the functional design is more your area of things where you will be we want to look at what functions we need in the remote control and what what specific things it it has to do but the conceptual design is perhaps bigger than that and includes the how people are going to use it and and that kind of thing right how how it will be done so whe where do we identify the components of our product i think it is it is in the conceptual design phase that we identify the it is in the conceptual design phase that we identify the components of our product i think we will we will start that initially with the functional design already but then yeah okay okay so that is just a brief overview of the p the the project itself what i would like us to do now is simultaneously introduce ourselves and start using some of the tools that we are using for for the project specifically the whiteboard so each person in turn i would like us to go up to the whiteboard the pen is just underneath it there and draw your favorite animal and then tell everyone what the f your favorite characteristics of that animal are and while you are doing that tell us your name what your role is and perhaps how your animal relates to the role that you are taking in this project why are you looking at me would you like to go 1st do i have a choice okay ooh ooh things falling everywhere 0 yeah p put them in pockets right okay cool you do not have to hurry we have got plenty of time okay so my name is cat and i am really not very good at this whole drawing malarkey so okay it has got no eyes 0 good point ah the eyes always ruin it right okay what do it is eyes like okay cool this is a rabbit i thought it might be a cat yeah well origi at 1st i thought it was going to be cat yeah i do not think it is furry enough so we will make it a fluffy rabbit yeah now i now i understand now yeah yeah i can see by the ears yeah okay right it is a fluffy rabbit blue rabbits do not come in blue but you know okay and i like it because it is small and it is fluffy and one day you will be able to getical genetically modify them and they will come in pink ah okay excellent and what is your what is your role within the team i am the i need my notebook ooh top banana thank you okay cool i am the marketing expert so like i am going to be doing the apparently according to the little guy in the computer that knows everything the user g requirements specification of the functional design trend watching in the conceptual design and product evad valuation in the detailed design so yeah okay and more about yourself you are from kay i am from leicester 2nd year what else do you want to know i like sports yeah aerobics kickboxing spinning and but not with rabbits not with rabbits no no and vets i like vets as well and yeah and i like cocktails especially pink ones cool okay excellent to match the rabbit cool okay so my name is maarika where is the pen okay there is a an if you have not enough room there is an eraser there and you can rub it off yeah well or i can make it smaller so i am the interface designer in this project and my favorite animal i m i mean i am not so sure because i am not so so very familiar with all kinds of animals but i do like dogs 0 sorry maybe i should have should not have said it beforehand but well there are different kinds of dogs but okay that is not bad at all ah it looks like a dog yep okay is a bit more impressive than my rabbit i think it needs 4 legs if it is going to walk though yeah maybe it has some colorful patches yeah the other legs are on the other side yeah and i do like dogs because they are good friends to people and they are loyal well that is compared to some other animals like cats they are really much more fun because they are not so independent yeah maybe maybe the fact that they protect their home as well yeah what it has to do with with my role in the project is hard to say i hope to be loyal to the project and not to n not to let people doing similar projects know the details of our project or something yeah and where where are you from i am from estonia yep estonia so is there anything else you would like to know 0 right my roles so in the different stages of the design so at 1st i will be responsible for for yeah designing the technical functions of the of the remote control then in the in the conceptual design stage i need to come up with interface concept and then in the last stage i will be responsible for the int infa for the user interface design okay that is it thank you okay i will do some i will rub the features and let the drawing stay kay my name is gaurav my favorite animal one of my favorite animals is a cow i have got no idea how to draw a cow good luck this is going to be they are not just like a big round body and then some really skinny legs and then just some horns yeah that will do okay so let let me draw the body 1st big round body really skinny legs and they have got a long tail and a long face it is eating it looks like eeyore and there is some grass there yeah so this is what i like about cows that they just keeps sitting there eating grass they do not disturb anybody they are kind of buddhist in a way horns draw some horns so yeah i like cows my my role in the project is the industrial designer so i am supposed to design all the details of of the product ho how it works and whatever it will take during the functional role what are the various functions that have to be performed by it during the conceptual design what are the various components of it and finally i am not too sure what was the last part the detailed design i i guess it will again be the identification of the components and how they integrate with each other i am from india i am doing my p h d in psycholinguistics i sit at the department of psychology yeah excellent thanks thank you right now now it is my turn obviously okay here is a space that does not look like a cow does it it looks very very cute yeah i like the cow i am jen yeah i like dogs too but i can not do that already because i can not draw a dog as well as you can i like is that a lizard no way wow it is a gecko ah a gecko okay ah okay yeah is there a difference is a ar are they also like lizards or are they yeah they are they are yeah they are l it is a kind of lizard and i i like geckos because they remind me of warm places and ah huh and where i was living in cambodia they used to live in my house and they were on the ceiling and they would make little gecko noises in the evening i hope you do not like snakes do you i do not like snakes i come from australia and we have nasty snakes okay that is where i am from australia i am from melbourne and i am your project manager for today and my role is basically to keep things going and make sure that you all work together in a productive way so that by the end of the day we come up with a great product wonderful okay thank you so let us see what is next in the powerpoint presentation so i have just thought yeah i have just thought about this that we could even put it much more professionally as there we go if you right click on it you can okay so this is the overall budget for our project we have got we are planning to sell these remote controls for let us make that go away that means we have got 5 minutes we are planning to sell the remote controls for €25 each and with that we are aiming for a profit of €50000000 and that is selling them on the international market not just in the u k so to do that our finance people estimate that we need production costs of maximum €125 so that we can reach that profit target so that is something to keep in mind while you are designing okay this is let me just skip ahead to see that is the last thing okay we have only got a couple of minutes does anyone have any 1st ideas to bounce around about what we are thinking of this remote control yep i am just wondering whether whether there is like any special feature that we want to have w want this remote control have as opposed to the already existing ones i think that is probably something that w it is best if we take away with us but if we all have a think when we go away from the meeting what specific things could be included in this remote control that that are out of the ordinary i think i in the beginning one thing was that was mentioned was that it should be trendy user friendly and original so i think your point is relevant as far as the originality is concerned that we should provide some features that are quite unique to this something something new yeah i was looking at the website and the other things that they have made and i like put down some like inspirational words like that i got from looking at the pictures so the motto is we put the fashion in electronics and so it is something that is sleek and stylish but it is still functional you know so i am kind of thinking you know like those phones that they have the new generation ones where they do not actually have any buttons on them and stuff like that huh alright you know so something heading towards that so it is not overly i mean i do not know what h most of the buttons do on my remote controls so i figure how many do you need you know okay so perhaps some sort of menu based thing or something that is a little less crowded than this like i mean you know theoretically you can do all kinds of things with your t v right yeah but what do most people do they turn it on they watch certain specified channels you know and then they turn it off again yeah yeah there is a lot of functionality in there that is not used 90% of the time but will be used 10% of the time yeah sometimes they play a movie yeah so yeah there is no need to have buttons on it to do that maybe to do so no yep it could be one button for a menu or something if you really need to go and do that yeah and then use the so if you are the kind of sad case that knows how your remote control works then you know that is fine and you can do it on the screen rather than everybody else having to have those buttons which just confuse them excellent cause like if you look at the train it is just very like there is no extra bits on it the train on the website and i dunno if you can put it up on the thing but it is just like a long like thing used for mu moving people 0 i have not had a look yet yep but it looks really pretty too great any other immediate thoughts before we move along we can aim for i mean we can think about all these little things but we can aim for something wi that gives a high battery life although i do not think that it is a huge problem for remote controls anyway battery life every now and then you need to replace the batteries yeah yeah but i mean e even though it has to be re original we should not go like too far away from from the usual ones because otherwise the new users will just have a lot of problems with l learning yeah yeah yeah a big learning curve yeah yeah so i it should kind of fit in as well and the stereotype of a yeah it is like those fancy websites hm that you can not access because you have no idea how to get in but the designers thought they were great okay so we need to wrap it up now so that we can go away and get on with some of this we have got another meeting in 30 minutes so you are you will be getting specific instructions once you go back to your workspace but im basically you are looking at the working design alright you are looking at the technical functions design and for you it is the user requirements specification like you said at the start okay okay thanks for that thank you i will see you in half an hour see you carry the laptops back again do we need to unplug things probably
almost okay so this is our 1st meeting of this design project and i would like to show you the agenda for the meeting i do not know if it was sent around to all of you yeah i did not really anyway
