Abstract

Techniques for directed guidance of viewing devices which enable a spectator to be guided toward points of interest using guidance cues from viewpoint control sources including other viewing devices or event directors. A viewing system according to the present techniques include a viewpoint control source that generates a guidance cue for a point of interest and a viewing device that obtains the guidance cue from the viewpoint control source and in response generates a guidance signal for moving a viewpoint of the viewing device in a direction indicated by the guidance cue.
