The multi-perspective content represents a first perspective selected from a plurality of time-coincident perspectives, the plurality of perspectives including a center point perspective. When the multi-perspective content delivery system receives an indication that the center point perspective supersedes the first perspective, the multi-perspective content delivery system determines whether the first perspective and the center point perspective are the same perspective. In response to receiving an indication that the perspectives are not the same, transmitting a cue from the device directing attention to the center point perspective. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A multi-perspective content delivery system, the multi-perspective content delivery system comprising one or more processors programmed with instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform: transmitting multi-perspective content to a device associated with first profile data, the multi-perspective content representing a first perspective selected from a plurality of time-coincident perspectives, the plurality of time-coincident perspectives comprising a center point perspective; receiving an indication that the center point perspective supersedes the first perspective; determining that the first perspective and the center point perspective are not the same perspective; and in response to receiving the indication and to determining that the first perspective and the center point perspective are not the same perspective, transmitting to the device a first cue for recommending a change in perspective to the center point perspective. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further programmed with instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform: receiving the first profile data; identifying a preference for content based upon the first profile data; determining whether the first perspective correlates with the preference for content by at least a predetermined amount and determining whether the center point perspective supersedes the first perspective; and in response to determining that the first perspective does not correlate with the preference for content by at least the predetermined amount and that the center point perspective does not supersede the first perspective: determining a second perspective of the plurality of time-coincident perspectives that correlates to a greater degree with the preference for content than the first perspective; and transmitting to the device a second cue for recommending a change in perspective to the second perspective. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 2, wherein the preference for content represents one or more genres of content and wherein determining whether the first perspective correlates with the preference for content by at least a predetermined amount comprises comparing the preferences for one or more genres with one or more genres associated with the first perspective. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 2, wherein the one or more processors are further programmed with instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform, in response to determining that the first perspective does not correlate with the preference for content by at least the predetermined amount: identifying at least one portion of the first perspective that does not correlate with the preference for content; and at least one of removing, modifying, or substituting the at least one portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 2, wherein the one or more processors are further programmed with instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform, in response to determining that the first perspective does not correlate with the preference for content by at least the predetermined amount: calculating a delay in multi-perspective content consumption caused to the device that is associated with the at least one of removing, modifying, or substituting the at least one portion; and transmitting multi-perspective content to at least one or more additional devices that mitigates the delay in multi-perspective content consumption between the device and the at least one or more additional devices. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 2, wherein the one or more genres comprise at least one of action, violence, romance, comedy, mystery, science fiction, or drama. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 2, wherein the first profile data represents content usage activity of at least one of multi-perspective content, streaming content, internet browsing, or social media. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 2, wherein the first cue for recommending a change in perspective comprises at least one of sound, visual, or haptic content. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 1, wherein the first cue is transmitted to be integrated within the first multi-perspective perspective. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The multi-perspective content delivery system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further programmed with instructions to cause the one or more processors to cause the device to display the center point perspective in response to receiving the indication and to determining that the first perspective and the center point perspective are not the same perspective. ### Claim 11 A method for guiding perspectives in a multi-perspective content delivery system, the method comprising: transmitting multi-perspective content to a device associated with first profile data, the multi-perspective content representing a first perspective selected from a plurality of time-coincident perspectives, the plurality of time-coincident perspectives comprising a center point perspective; receiving an indication that the center point perspective supersedes the first perspective; determining that the first perspective and the center point perspective are not the same perspective; and in response to receiving the indication and to determining that the first perspective and the center point perspective are not the same perspective, transmitting to the device a first cue for recommending a change in perspective to the center point perspective. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: receiving the first profile data; identifying a preference for content based upon the first profile data; determining whether the first perspective correlates with the preference for content by at least a predetermined amount and determining whether the center point perspective supersedes the first perspective; and in response to determining that the first perspective does not correlate with the preference for content by at least the predetermined amount and that the center point perspective does not supersede the first perspective: determining a second perspective of the plurality of time-coincident perspectives that correlates to a greater degree with the preference for content than the first perspective; and transmitting to the device a second cue for recommending a change in perspective to the second perspective. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the preference for content represents one or more genres of content and wherein determining whether the first perspective correlates with the preference for content by at least a predetermined amount comprises comparing the preferences for one or more genres with one or more genres associated with the first perspective. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising, in response to determining that the first perspective does not correlate with the preference for content by at least the predetermined amount: identifying at least one portion of the first perspective that does not correlate with the preference for content; and at least one of removing, modifying, or substituting the at least one portion. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising, in response to determining that the first perspective does not correlate with the preference for content by at least the predetermined amount: calculating a delay in multi-perspective content consumption caused to the device that is associated with the at least one of removing, modifying, or substituting the at least one portion; and transmitting multi-perspective content to at least one or more additional devices that mitigates the delay in multi-perspective content consumption between the device and the at least one or more additional devices. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the one or more genres comprise at least one of action, violence, romance, comedy, mystery, science fiction, or drama. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the first profile data represents content usage activity of at least one of multi-perspective content, streaming content, internet browsing, or social media. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the first cue for recommending a change in perspective comprises at least one of sound, visual, or haptic content. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the first cue is transmitted to be integrated within the first perspective. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising causing the device to display the center point perspective in response to receiving the indication and to determining that the first perspective and the center point perspective are not the same perspective.
