Lightweight virtual environment

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having encoded therein programming code executable by one or more processors to perform or control performance of operations comprising:

• receiving, at a virtual environment (VE) device, input data pertaining to a user, the input data including user contributed data that are input to a user input device and machine contributed data that are measured at one or more sensors;
• based on a first portion of the input data, rendering by the VE device, a graphical user interface (GUI) including an initial icon arrangement that is presentable in a virtual environment, wherein the initial icon arrangement includes a set of icons that are each representative of a particular portion of an overall time period represented by the initial icon arrangement;
• determining, by the VE device, whether a second portion of the input data is representable in the initial icon arrangement;
• in response to the second portion of input data being representable:
• quantifying, by the VE device, the second portion of the input data with a target and a timeframe;
• associating, by the VE device, the target with the second portion of the input data;
• further associating, by the VE device, the timeframe with the second portion of the input data;
• modifying, by the VE device, one or more icons in the initial icon arrangement that correspond to the timeframe to represent the target;
• further rendering, by the VE device, the modified icons as an opportunity layer on the initial icon arrangement;
• and
• displaying, on a display device, the initial icon arrangement with the opportunity layer in the virtual environment.

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of 8, further comprising:

• receiving updated data, the updated data including user contributed data that are input to the user input device and machine contributed data that are measured at the one or more sensors;
• determining whether the updated data changes the first portion of the input data;
• in response to the updated data changing the first portion of the input data:
• adjusting one or more icons in the set of icons to reflect the changes to the first portion of the input data;
• and
• dynamically re-rendering the initial icon arrangement with the adjusted icons;
• determining whether the updated data changes the second portion of the input data;
• in response to the updated data changing the second portion of the input data:
• adjusting the modified icons of the opportunity layer to reflect the changes to the second portion of the input data;
• and
• dynamically re-rendering the opportunity layer with the adjusted icons.

A graphical user interface (GUI) configured to affect a behavior outcome of a user, the GUI comprising:

• an initial icon arrangement rendered by a virtual environment (VE) device and configured to be displayed on a display device of the VE device, the initial icon arrangement including a set of icons that are each representative of a particular portion of an overall time period represented by the initial icon arrangement and the initial icon arrangement being based on a first portion of input data pertaining to the user;
• and
• an opportunity layer that includes modified icons rendered on the initial icon arrangement, the modified icons being representative of a second portion of the input data that are representable in the initial icon arrangement and an associated quantified timeframe and associated quantified target of the second portion of the input data,
• wherein the input data includes user contributed data input to a user input device and machine contributed data measured at one or more sensors.
