Mm-hmm.
QMSum_79
false
Yep.
QMSum_79
false
Does anyone have any questions ?
QMSum_79
false
Do you think that we should keep all the buttons to one same colour , just to keep it , give it a simplistic look.
QMSum_79
false
Mm.
QMSum_79
false
I think if we go with the um design plate thing , we'll have to. Just because of colour clashing ,
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
and if we wanted to ,
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
so and , and we might , I mean , depending on what comes out of the design , we might have to stick to just black buttons.
QMSum_79
false
But um
QMSum_79
false
But what about the lighting up effect ?
QMSum_79
false
You mean different colours for the lighting or
QMSum_79
false
Um , well , um , I thought we had um decided that we would if you touched one of the buttons they'd all light up. And so if they were black , it wouldn't be possible for them to light up.
QMSum_79
false
Mm-hmm. Oh I see what you're saying.
QMSum_79
false
If they were white they would glow , probably.
QMSum_79
false
Well y
QMSum_79
false
If they were made out of rubber.
QMSum_79
false
Oh so you're picturing the light is coming from the back. I kinda pictured it as kind of coming from the sides and lighting it up frontwards.
QMSum_79
false
Oh.
QMSum_79
false
Oh.
QMSum_79
false
But , but I guess , you mean from the back.
QMSum_79
false
Where would the light come from ?
QMSum_79
false
Okay.
QMSum_79
false
I'd assume , like , an internal light , that comes through.
QMSum_79
false
Okay.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
So there would have to , have to be some parts maybe transparent around the buttons , or something.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah ,
QMSum_79
false
Right.
QMSum_79
false
and well rubber is a more translucent product too ,
QMSum_79
false
Yeah , yeah.
QMSum_79
false
so we have that taken care of.
QMSum_79
false
It should be able to
QMSum_79
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_79
false
mm-hmm.
QMSum_79
false
In the phone that I was thinking of as well , when you change the um covers of it , the , the little buttons that actually , you know , that contro control stuff , are behind the rubber.
QMSum_79
false
Li yeah.
QMSum_79
false
So you can change the buttons when you're changing the faces. Do you know what I mean ?
QMSum_79
false
Oh.
QMSum_79
false
Oh.
QMSum_79
false
'Cause it's just the wee control ,
QMSum_79
false
Yeah. They , they insert over.
QMSum_79
false
yeah , thing that's behind it.
QMSum_79
false
Okay.
QMSum_79
false
Mm.
QMSum_79
false
So I mean , we don't have to decide on one colour. Each face could have its own colour of buttons maybe ?
QMSum_79
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_79
false
Well , if they're raised up buttons. So that you can feel them.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
We were talking about it being more um , a lot more tangible.
QMSum_79
false
Um , it might be more difficult to do. If they're , if they're sticking up.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
If it's flat then , like o like on a cellphone or a mobile phone , it's like all very flat , and you just have to sort of press down on these tiny little buttons , but
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
I think it would be possible. I don't think it would make that much difference. I mean , the uh the dimensions of it. 'Cause if it's just like constructed in the same way as like the front cover of a mobile phone. You can like take off the hard cover and then there's the like say the buttons. And then you get to the circuit. I don't think it would matter that the buttons were bigger through the , the top casing. I'm sure you could f work it out to fit in the casing , without causing too much difficulty.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah. Okay.
QMSum_79
false
I'm sure that'd be fine.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Alright. If it's do-able we can do.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah , sounds good to me.
QMSum_79
false
So that's everything , then ?
QMSum_79
false
Okay.
QMSum_79
false
Alright , thank you.
QMSum_79
false
Okay is that my turn then ?
QMSum_79
false
That means you're up. Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
true
Alright. I have a shorter report for you today. Um , it took a while to get this , uh Uh.
QMSum_79
false
You're not plugged in yet.
QMSum_79
false
Oh.
QMSum_79
false
That's a very good point.
QMSum_79
false
Okay , so um , this report is about uh trend-watching. Um , basically so we can live up to our , our uh purpose of having a very fashionable remote control. Sorry. There we go. Um So , just so you know , my method was mainly web web-based research this time around. I also spoke with fashion experts in Milan , New York and Paris. And I looked at the design reports from previous years , here at Real Remote. Um , just so c we can work off of them , see how fashions have changed. Um , so I'll list the three most important aspects that I've come across. Um , and they , they're each more important than the one that comes after it. Uh , the first one is that there should be a fancy look-and-feel , instead of the current functional look-and-feel. Um , this should be our priority , as we've been saying. The second most important aspect is that a remote sh that the remote control should be technologically innovative. So , I think we've done a lot of talking about that , just with lighting and the buttons and the face-plates. Um , so it looks like we'll be able to keep on track with that. And the third most important aspect is that the remote control should be easy to use. So , pretty basic there. And the recent fashion update , uh , according to fashion-watchers in Paris and Milan , is that fruit and vegetables will be the most important theme for clothes , shoes and furniture. Um , also , in contra uh in contrast to last year , the feel of the material is expected to be spongy. Again , we've already discussed that with rubber versus hard plastic buttons. Um So , my personal preferences here , um of course , as we , we've already talked about the personal face-plates in this meeting , and I'd like to stick to that. The fruits and vegetable themes , I don't know if that's going to work for us. It sounds something that you'd use on kitchenware.
QMSum_79
false
Mm.
QMSum_79
false
I don't know if we wanna do it on remotes.
QMSum_79
false
It could be one of the options.
QMSum_79
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_79
false
Maybe for the television that people have in their kitchen. Um , the temporary light-up idea , sounds like we're gonna stick to that. And then , uh , tying in a trendy look with user-friendliness.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah. Yeah , it's the fruits and vegetables is the only area that I find rather jarring. Everything else we can really , we can really
QMSum_79
false
It is strange.
QMSum_79
false
Mm-hmm.
QMSum_79
false
um , do , according to our plans already , given the market. But fruits and vegetables seems a very strange idea for a remote control.
QMSum_79
false
It's , it's a little but it , it's everywhere.
QMSum_79
false
Well
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
So maybe we I've seen a lot of purses with olives on them , you know.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
But I I think , I think if we stick to T_V_ based , you know , maybe T_V_ shows , or
QMSum_79
false
But they still need to um fit into people's decor though.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Or colour schemes.
QMSum_79
false
We I think we possibly could take a more abstract design.
QMSum_79
false
Right.
QMSum_79
false
Like look at the basic shapes of different fruits and vegetables. And then just really like strip it down to like really basic shapes. I mean we don't have to make something in the shape of a strawberry , but it could have the curves of a strawberry , or something.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah.
QMSum_79
false
Or a strawberry seed or a leaf.
QMSum_79
false
Yeah , yeah.
QMSum_79
false
The The essence of strawberry. Yeah.
