The HCI Technology's Future Signals: The Readiness Evaluation of HCI Technology for Product and Roadmap Design

This research study will collect information from experienced HCI designers and product managers in the electronic consumer product industry to study their way of receiving information, making predictions, and identifying the progress of HCI technology. We will analyse their participation experience, propose the sequence of technology signals' maturity, and develop practical tools to evaluate those signals. The framework could support the HCI designer and product manager in designing the product roadmap on the technology side; Further studies and case studies about these future signals that could benefit product roadmap design would be helpful.
