Abstract
A method includes receiving inputs indicative of a user state of a user. The received inputs include: 1) sensor inputs from one or more sensors; 2) application inputs received from one or more software applications; and/or 3) user inputs received from a graphical user interface. The method includes determining a collective user state of the user based on the received inputs and obtaining user data of other users that includes a collective user state of each corresponding other user. The method includes displaying, on a screen, other user glyphs representing the other users. Each other user glyph: 1) at least partially indicates the collective user state of the corresponding other user; and/or 2) is associated with a link to a displayable view indicating the collective user state of the corresponding other user and/or the inputs used to determine the collective user state of the corresponding other user.
