By coming with a Morphological matrix, we were able to address customers concerns and brainstorm on different ways to reach a viable and accepted product.

There are different variations for each control that could be used. We could opt for different controls for each blade, depending on which applications the entertainment may run and the cost; we could use popular platforms such as embedded linux or micro controllers or even
