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

Hayom Shehaya (Hebrew: הַיוֹם שֶׁהָיָה, lit. The Day That Was) is an Israeli late night current events program, broadcast on Israeli TV's Channel 10. The show has been on air since June 2003. It is aired every evening at the end of the prime time schedule, usually at 22:30 pm. It is broadcast live and presented by Israeli radio and media persona Guy Zohar. Sometimes Tali Moreno takes his place. Ze'ev Chasper edited the show from its inception with a break in 2007–2008 to serve as channel 10's website's manager. Hanoch Daum hosted the show that year. Hayom Shehaya offers an alternative to the traditional news narrative through the introduction of personal commentary, irony and comic moments. Zohar also asks viewers to send in clips via cell phone, which he watches on a computer screen and comments on in real time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
