Users Were Confused, Disconnected, and Dropping Off

People didn’t know about the promotions, or didn’t understand them when they did. We saw complaints about unclear progress, rewards, and entry points. Players struggled to return to the promo flow after opting in.

The user interface was simplified to essential interactions, with automatic IPD calibration and single-hand controls. We integrated premium materials with advanced ergonomics, creating a device that adapts to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to it.

Overview

Our approach focused on merging Scandinavian design principles with cutting-edge technology. The result is Boreal – a VR headset that doesn't just improve upon existing designs but fundamentally rethinks how users should interact with virtual environments.
In a market dominated by bulky, uncomfortable VR headsets, Nordvision envisioned a device that would prioritize human factors alongside technical excellence. The challenge was to create a premium VR experience that users could enjoy for extended periods without the typical physical constraints of existing solutions.

Audits, Workshops, and Data: Finding the Real Problems

I ran usability tests, interviewed users, and collaborated with stakeholders to prioritize issues. Mapped the existing journeys and overlaid pain points. That’s when the idea of a central hub emerged.

The platform needed to translate the personal guidance typically provided by the Hoekstra family in their showroom into a digital experience. We had to maintain their high-touch customer service standards while making their expertise accessible through digital tools.

The Solution

We developed a revolutionary weight distribution system that reduces pressure points and fatigue. The passive cooling architecture maintains optimal operating temperature without adding bulk, while our quick-release mechanisms allow for easy adjustments and maintenance.
