Design Plan:

 

Who: Vicra will be designed for a range of people who use screens to enjoy media in the US. It will primarily be a luxory device, and thus, will be for middle to high income active individuals and families. It will be designed for those who are not technically savvy, but it will satisfy the needs of even the nerdiest users.

 

Where: Vicra would be sold in every store TVs are sold in, as well as online and in lifestyle stores.

 

When: Purchased or included with large television purchases, or sold individually, Vicra would be designed to last 18-36 months (as long as it can be hoped that VIcra will remain technically relevant)

 

Why: The motive of Vicra users will be simplicity and ease of use, to improve the process of navigating media content.

 

What: Vicra is a television remote as well as a home me- dia center controller. It will be elegant and simple, it must be usable by the widest range of users possible.
