[ABSTRACT]   Write one paragraph of coherent text to summarize the meeting as a whole from your role?s perspective.
This afternoon we went over the user requirements, technical functions design and working design by listening to three presentations and some additional moderation and discussion led by the project manager. The needs and desires that were emphasized were: fashion, functionality and simplicity. We decided that buttons for controls of channels and volume should be bigger and that additional buttons should be availible in a "hidden" pull-out format during the technical segment. During the working design, we learned about the importance of infrared and high-quality chips and batteries. We ended by deciding that defining our target based on demographic might be difficult and that we'd be better off doing it by what the consumer wants it to look and feel like.
