Abstract

Technology roadmaps are often referred for better decision making by HCI professionals who connect human factors with product development and innovation. We conducted user study that explore information seeking and tracing behaviors in using technology roadmap. The research revealed that HCI professionals exhibit distinctive patterns in using technology roadmap, depending on their expertise in technical knowledge and work experience. Finally, we designed new user interface of an interactive technology roadmap system based on the research findings. We demonstrated its usefulness in seeking task-dependent information, intuitiveness in information visualization, and easiness to use as a reference for technologies.
