[ABSTRACT]   Write one paragraph of coherent text to summarize the meeting as a whole from your role?s perspective.
We discussed user and project requirements, as far as what was needed and not. We also each presented on ways to meet those needs in the final project. We started with some information on market research that has been done, then went into the technological fuction of the remote, and how to acheive a good result with that. We settled on a need for a balance between economic and practical concerns, and between novelty and conventionality. We also discussed some exsisting remotes and what they go well and badly. I presented on working design, and a schematic for that. We decided to focus on fashion, usability, and simplicy in our design. Infrared, battery use, interface simplicity are all necessities.
