Abstract: An improved graphical user interface (GUI) for use with a computing device that arranges information/icons in a circular or loop-like fashion. The GUI includes a plurality of nodes arranged on a circular element. The GUI may display only a portion of the circular element and associated nodes and may permit the user to rotate the circular element to rotate the circular element to bring the nodes into the displayed area. The user may select a node to access the selected node and bring a new sub-circle associated with that node into view (in a sub-circle embedded within a circle arrangement).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for gathering, organizing, and utilizing information about users utilizing a gaming or other interface can include generating, at a computing device having one or more processors, a customized user interface for each of a plurality of users. The customized user interface can present a series of questions to its associated user. The method can further include ingesting answers from each of the plurality of users and associating each user with his/her answers to form a user profile. A machine learning algorithm can be utilized to identify groupings of the plurality of users. Each particular grouping can include users whose user profile is in some manner more similar to the user profiles of other users in the particular grouping than to the user profiles of users in other groupings. The method can also include adapting the customized user interface for each user based on the user profiles.
