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

Scannán faisnéise é Saoirse? a thugann cur síos ar imeachtaí staire na hÉireann sna blianta 1919-1922, idir fhorbairt an náisiúnachais in Éirinn agus mórthubaiste an Chogaidh Chathartha. Tá sé suntasach mar sin go bhfuil comhartha ceiste leis an teideal. Rinne George Morrison an stiúrthóireacht, agus chum Seán Ó Riada an ceol don scannán. B'iad Pádraig Ó Raghallaigh agus Liam Budhlaeir na tráchtairí. B'é Seán Mac Réamoinn a scríobh téacs na tráchtaireachta. B'é Gael-Linn a léirigh an scannán. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
