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
This was a Ukrainian television talent show where ordinary people sang karaoke live on a public square. Contestants performed popular songs in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. The show ran for two decades and launched several musicians into professional careers.

What happens
Karaoke on the Maidan (Ukrainian: Караоке на Майдані, lit. Karaoke on the Square) was a Ukrainian music programme and television talent show created by Ihor Kondratiuk and Andrey Kozlov. During its runtime between 1999 and 2019, Karaoke on the Maidan was a popular television programme in Ukraine, scoring well in the ratings. Its former list of finalists and winners include Tina Karol, Max Barskih, Vitalii Kozlovskyi, Natalia Valevska, Oleksandr Skichko and Taras Topolia. After shooting for over twenty years and producing more than a thousand episodes, creator and presenter Ihor Kondratiuk pulled the plug of the show in late 2018. The source of the cancellation was an ending contract with then broadcaster STB. Meanwhile, Kondratiuk felt that the programme had outlived itself and had become old-fashioned.
