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

How it feels

ESPN has shown tennis tournaments on TV since 1979 and later on ABC. It currently covers the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, with less coverage of other events.

What happens

The sport of tennis has been televised by the properties of ESPN since 1979 and for ABC since 2006. Current tournaments and competitions covered by ESPN include Australian Open, the Wimbledon Championships and the US Open. After hosting many non-Grand Slam events throughout the years, ESPN has greatly pared back its non-Grand Slam coverage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
