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

Worldwide Exchange was a television business news program on CNBC channels around the world. It used to be broadcast live from studios on three continents until May 11, 2012, and was produced by CNBC Europe in London. From the start of 2016 until its demise a decade later, it was produced at CNBC Global Headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Originally billed as "the first ever global business news broadcast", Worldwide Exchange began broadcasting in December 2005, and was the first CNBC program to be jointly produced by three of the network's regional channels. As a result of the success of Worldwide Exchange, a second joint production, Capital Connection, debuted on CNBC Europe and CNBC Asia on March 26, 2007. Worldwide Exchange replaced Wake Up Call, an early morning pre-market program on CNBC US that ran from 2002 to 2005; Morning Exchange, a mid-morning program on CNBC Europe; as well as Asia Market Wrap and CNBC Tonight on CNBC Asia, a daily wrap-up of the top business news in Asia. On October 13, 2014, Worldwide Exchange was switched to a full 16:9 letterbox presentation and re-launched in 1080i high-definition on CNBC US. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
