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

Star Trek: Phoenix is a Star Trek fan-created anthology series produced and filmed by Temporal Studios. The series was created by Leo Roberts and later developed by Leo Roberts, Jön Johnson and Star Trek author, Jeff Ayers. The story is set 42 years after Star Trek: Nemesis in the prime universe created by Gene Roddenberry and follows the crew of the Federation's first political flagship, the Ascension-Class starship USS Phoenix (NCX-101138). The first episode, "Cloak & Dagger, Part I", was released on the Internet on May 2, 2010, and as of December 2015 ,"Cloak & Dagger, Part Two" remains suspended until the current lawsuit against the fan production Star Trek: Axanar by Paramount Pictures and CBS is resolved. Along with an all-volunteer cast/crew production, several veterans of Star Trek including Academy Award-winning crew members from the J. J. Abrams reboot Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness films worked on the project. "Cloak & Dagger, Part One" was an official selection of the 2010 edition of the Maelstrom International Fantastic Film Festival in Seattle, Washington. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
