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

3×4 fue un concurso de televisión emitido en directo por Televisión Española, para el circuito catalán en 1986, y en La Primera entre el 11 de enero de 1988 y el 14 de septiembre de 1990 (durante un tiempo se emitió por La 2 para relanzar dicho canal), siempre desde los estudios de San Cugat del Vallés en Barcelona, con dirección de Sergi Schaaff y Josep Maria Vidal. Un buen número de programas se grabó en los Estudios Ideal, de la calle Wad Ras (hoy Dr. Trueta) de Barcelona. El título hacía referencia a las proporciones de una pantalla de televisión de la época, 3 de alto por 4 de ancho. El programa se desarrollaba en directo, excepto ciertas entrevistas y actuaciones de artistas invitados, que se grababan con antelación. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
