Investigating Multimodal Large Language Models to Support Usability Evaluation

arXiv:2508.16165v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Usability evaluation is an essential method to support the design of effective and intuitive user interfaces (UIs). However, it commonly relies on resource-intensive, expert-driven methods, which limit its accessibility, especially for small organizations. Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have the potential to support usability evaluation by analyzing textual instructions together with visual UI context. This paper investig
