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
Domo Arigato (aka Thank you very much) is a 3-D film which was produced in 1972 and shown in limited theatrical runs, mainly larger markets. It was re-released in 1991. A med school drop out and GI (Jason Ledger) returning from a tour in Vietnam travels the scenic Japanese countryside with an American tourist from Kansas (Bonnie Sher) who harbors a secret in this travelogue romantic melodrama. The use of the SpaceVision 3-D camera rig provides some stunning stereoscopic effects throughout. This was Arch Oboler's follow up 3-D film after The Bubble (1966). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
