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.

What happens

AVRO Service Salon was een Nederlands middagtelevisieprogramma met licht nieuws en wetenswaardigheden. In het bijzonder was het programma bestemd voor vrouwen die 's middags thuis waren. Het werd dan ook wel omschreven als het eerste tijdschrift op de televisie. Oorspronkelijk was het een programma van de AVRO, maar in 1992 werd het korte tijd door de AVRO, de KRO en de NCRV samen gemaakt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
