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

《信》是日本作家東野圭吾的長篇小說。於「每日新聞」週日版連載，並在2003年出版單行本，2005年「文藝春秋」發行文庫版。 《信》的主軸不在於找出凶手或動機，犯罪的過程更是在書籍一開頭明明白白完整的呈現給讀者，本書主軸重在描寫直貴在哥哥犯罪之後的生活歷程，與收的哥哥來信之後的心境變化。 2006年由當紅小生山田孝之飾演武島直貴在日本上映。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
