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

7.30 is an Australian nightly current affairs television program which broadcasts on ABC TV and ABC News at 7:30pm on Monday to Thursday nights, hosted by Sarah Ferguson. The half hour program follows the evening news, and is the flagship program for the network, with The Sydney Morning Herald saying "7.30 remains arguably [the ABC's] most impactful daily program. It is regularly the broadcaster's most watched on any given night." From 1986 to 2011 it was called The 7.30 Report; in 2011 it was rebranded as 7.30 and Stateline was folded into the revamped program. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
