The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Rockin' the Corps was a 2005 concert designed to show appreciation to United States marines and sailors returning home from the Iraq War. The free event was attended by approximately 44,000 active duty military personnel and their families and broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network to 880,000 servicemembers and civilians at bases worldwide. The show was shot with 12 cameras in high-definition. Musicians performing include Beyoncé with Destiny's Child, Kiss, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, Ted Nugent, Godsmack, Darius Rucker with Hootie & The Blowfish and Ja Rule among others. Celebrities appearing include Mary J. Blige, Cindy Crawford, Randy Jackson, Carmen Electra, Alyssa Milano and Sharon Stone, among others. The show was organized by Support The Corps, a non-profit organization founded by Joseph E. Robert, Jr., a Washington, D.C.–based businessman. Also involved were musician and producer Quincy Jones, music and film producer Spencer Proffer, and music manager Doc McGhee. On Memorial Day 2005, Yahoo! featured excerpts from the event on their site in a salute to U.S. armed forces. The theatrical release of "Rockin' the Corps" premiered June 26 in Washington, D.C., and on June 27 screenings were held on 150 screens in 75 markets in the United States at Regal, Edwards and United Artists theaters as part of their Big Screen Concert series. A one-year broadcast initiative began over the July 4th weekend on iN Demand, with subsequent television broadcasts, both free and pay-per-view, (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
