}This prompt configures an AI as a UX researcher to analyze web or mobile interface screenshots. It applies scientific principles like biological priority and F-pattern scanning to simulate visual attention. The result is a thermal heatmap image overlay highlighting predicted fixation areas with color-coded intensity.
The AI returns a semi-transparent UI screenshot overlaid with a thermal heatmap. Red zones appear on faces and primary buttons, yellow on text blocks, and blue on peripheral ignored areas.
No, it produces static image overlays only based on the defined rules.
