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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Television Surveys is a British television series which aired in 1939 on the BBC. It consists of live telecasts from different locations. One episode showed a railway junction, one episode showed a telephone exchange, while another episode showed Kensington gardens. None of the episodes still exist, as methods to record live television were not developed until late 1947 and were used very rarely by the BBC until the mid-1950s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
