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

Travelogue is an adventure tourism television program produced by China Central Television. Each episode features a host who travels with a camera crew to a new destination in China or around the globe and experiences the sights, sounds, and culture that the location has to offer. The program frequently takes viewers beyond well-known tourist spots to provide a more authentic and in-depth look at local culture. Presenters often immerse themselves in the local and traditional culture wherever they visit. They address the audience directly, acting as tourists-turned-tour guides, and are also filmed interacting with locals and discovering interesting locations in largely unrehearsed sequences.
