7. Stage 6: Refine
After we made a prototype. We made a few
refinements to help make our product a little bit
more better for our customer. First, we added an
additional front pocket to the belt for extra storage.
Then we added a stopwatch holder in the back
pocket to store a stopwatch. We then also
enhanced the remote and changed the position of
some of the buttons and the size of the buttons was
also changed so they are easier to press.
