(Overview)

Horizon OS is a workplace operating system with too many features to explain.

We designed a glass interface language and a motion system that shows what each feature does in two seconds.

Feature discovery

01

Challenge

Users never found the features that made Horizon different, so they churned before the value kicked in.

02

Approach

Every feature got a two second motion explainer, built from the same glass panels as the interface itself.

03

Outcome

Onboarding time dropped by more than a third and feature discovery reached 92 percent.
