A literal example in video games: screen looking/screen peeking in splitscreen multiplayer games (versus or co-op, doesn’t matter). You’re literally viewing the game world and your own character through the perspective of a “second person” controlling their character and camera independently of yourself.

Kill cams would arguably fall in the same category.

I also think I remember playing some single player action/shooter game that had the camera briefly switch to the POV of a sniper shooting at you to give you a chance to dodge a headshot. Might have been one of the MGS games? It was a while ago.
