ES2008b: 1600 - 1800 s
FEE032 (D): If someone's looking to buy a new remote , don't they want like an upgrade ? I dunno .
FEE029 (A): Upgrade ? Well , we can look for we can look at upgrade or we can look at um user-friendly .
FEE030 (B): Yeah , simplification . They could have a crap remote that came with their T_V_ that's just impossible to use , or maybe it broke , or maybe they're just missing it .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE032 (D): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Simplification , so
FEE032 (D): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Uh-huh , mm .
FEE029 (A): And we also need to talk about if we're only gonna have the very simple ones or also have the other ones just separate somehow or
FEE032 (D): Can you like I mean this may be too complicated , but , I wish I had something to explain it , like if it was just a simple , either this way or this way , that had like the main buttons and then you could like pull something out , kind of and like you got the rest the buttons , but the rest of them like went in . Do you know what I'm saying ?
FEE030 (B): Hmm .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Ooh .
MEE031 (C): The remote There are remote controls like that , yeah . Like some T_V_s they have a sort of uh a sliding screen on the remote control of it that hides all the complicated buttons . So if you wanna do something complicated like programme your television or re-tune it , then you you open up this little hatch or or slide the screen down and there's all the all the special buttons .
FEE029 (A): Kind of pull out of the side .
FEE029 (A): Mm .
FEE030 (B): Ooh .
FEE032 (D): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE032 (D): 'Cause then 's like people who don't wanna ever look at them , never even have to see them and if you like get the instruction manual that comes with it and you just don't even read it then you'll never even know that those things can pull out . And you're a happy person and everyone else doesn't have to have like two remotes , one that has the easy ones and one that has
FEE030 (B): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE030 (B): Yeah , that's a good idea .
FEE032 (D): more complicated ones , but 's all still in one .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
MEE031 (C): I think that's a good idea , yeah .
FEE030 (B): Mm .
FEE029 (A): Um we have to be careful that that that doesn't impede um the chip transmitting information , but um that's gonna be mostly technological thing . Um .
FEE032 (D): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): Good point . Yeah .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Okay um , so what are we emphasising ?
FEE029 (A): I what in this project ?
MEE031 (C): Si simplicity and fashion .
FEE032 (D): I think simplicity , fashion .
FEE029 (A): Simplicity and fashion .
FEE030 (B): Yeah mm .
FEE029 (A): Okay , those are very good goals , I think , um that we have to keep in mind in with everything we do . Simplicity and fashion and , yeah , or usability speci however you wanna say that , which includes um an emphasis on making the infra-red very functional , so that you don't have to travel around a lot .
FEE032 (D): Mm-hmm .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Um .
FEE032 (D): What can you do to like make the infra-red more functional , like why would it not be ? I'm just wondering .
FEE029 (A): I think it's a lot to do with battery , but that's just my
FEE032 (D): Okay .
FEE030 (B): The battery and that I think that the chip takes the data and presents it well , without sort of scattering .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE032 (D): So 's just the quality of the chip .
FEE030 (B): Yeah . I think so .
FEE032 (D): Okay .
FEE030 (B): The quality uh quality of all the components really , I mean , we can't really do anything shoddy work , 'cause it's
MEE031 (C): Yeah .
FEE030 (B): gonna be visible down the line .
FEE029 (A): So our target group , we're saying , fifteen to thirty five ?
FEE032 (D): Well , I dunno how useful that number is if we're not doing
FEE029 (A): S voice recognition , which I kind of I kind of feel like voice recognition is not necessary in a remote control , like it might be necessary for a T_V_ but not for the remote c , you know . Seems a little bit
FEE032 (D): Yeah .
FEE032 (D): Yeah . I don't .
MEE031 (C): It's , yeah , it's pretty it's pretty high-tech .
FEE030 (B): Mm-mm .
FEE030 (B): Yeah .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm . Yeah , and it might be too expensive .
MEE031 (C): [gap]
FEE032 (D): And if the whole idea is you're using a remote then why would you have voice , like you know what I mean and then it's like you wouldn't need a remote you'd just talk to your T_V_ .
FEE029 (A): Mm-hmm .
FEE029 (A): Yeah .
MEE031 (C): It's for , like , the ultimately lazy people , who can't even be bothered to pick up the remote .
FEE030 (B): Ooh .
