Interlink and Onyx • In late 2005, Interlink conducted a series of focus groups to design the next generation of presentation remote • End User Goals • Reliability • Simplicity • Stylish Design • Confidence inspiring
Reliability “I’m afraid that my equipment will fail or won’t work with their computer.” • Number one fear in focus groups
Auto RF • More and more products (Wireless Networks, Bluetooth, Wireless phones) use 2.4 GHz • Dock the receiver into the remote to handle all setup • Once docked a free secure ID is chosen • Reliability ensured by Interlink’s frequency agile, frequency hopping protocol
Simplicity “I don’t want to have to learn how to use a remote, I want to be able to hit the buttons in the dark and know what they do.” • Simple design – Next Slide, Previous Slide, Blank Screen and Start Presentation • Simple setup – Just plug in the receiver once
Stylish Design “I want a remote that I can hide entirely in my hand but looks good enough to show off.” • An iconic vision that combines functionality with style • A completely palmable design • Unique materials
Confidence Inspiring • Clock vs. Timer • Focus groups tell us that timers make them nervous • Count down – Always getting shorter • Its going to buzz or shake and throw you off • Backlit clock is easier to use • Allows the benefit of being able to check time discretely • No complicated setup procedure before each presentation
History of Onyx Roman soldiers believed that Onyx made them brave and daring. During the Renaissance, Onyx believed to give eloquence upon the wearer
