Claim:
1. A method for generating a multi-dimensional content selection menu comprising: obtaining a first set of a plurality of content attributes specific to a target user; assigning each content attribute of the first set to a respective axis of a plurality of axes of the content selection menu; identifying a plurality of audiovisual (AV) programs, each AV program having an associated value for each content attribute of the first set; determining, for each AV program, a position along each axis of the plurality of axes based on the value for the content attribute corresponding to the respective axis for that attribute; populating the content selection menu with the plurality of AV programs by positioning each AV program in a multidimensional space defined by the plurality of axes in accordance with the determined position along each axis of the plurality of axes; outputting the content selection menu for presentation; receiving an interest input of an AV program from the target user indicating an interest level in one of the plurality of AV programs; associating each second content attribute of the second set with a second axis of the plurality of second axes of the second content selection menu; identifying a plurality of second AV programs different from the plurality of AV programs, each second AV program having an associated second value for each second content attribute; determining, for each second AV program, a second position along each second axis of the plurality of second axes based on the second value for the second content attribute corresponding to the respective second axis for that attribute; populating the second content selection menu with the plurality of second AV programs by positioning each second AV program in a space defined by the plurality of second axes in accordance with the determined second position; and outputting the second content selection menu for presentation.
