The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Taylor Camp was a small settlement established in the spring of 1969 on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaii. It covered an area of seven acres (2.8 ha) and at its peak it had a population of 120. It began with thirteen hippies seeking refuge from the ongoing campus riots and police brutality in the United States. They were arrested for vagrancy but Howard Taylor, brother of movie star Elizabeth, bailed them out of jail and invited them to settle on a beachfront property he owned. Eduardo Malapit prosecuted the original Taylor campers; later as mayor, he campaigned to shut down the camp. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
