Abstract: A systematic mechanism for visualizing functions or capabilities that an application has. One or more user experience objects are generated corresponding to an application. An application definition is obtained for that application, and then multiple user experience templates are identified based on that application definition. Information from the application definition is then used to populate at least one of the user experience templates to generate at least one object experience object. The user may then review visualizations of the user experience objects to determine the general capabilities of the application, and thereby determine whether to install or open the application, and how best to use the application.
