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.

How it feels

Two presenters compete by picking machines and comparing facts about them. They choose trump factors to decide which machine is better, with a random factor added. The one with the most trump factors wins.

What happens

Top Trumps is a 10-part British television series based on the card game of the same name. It aired on Channel 5 in 2008. It was produced by Lion Television and presented by Robert Llewellyn and Ashley Hames. The show is a competition between the two presenters. Each chooses one type of the machines presented and found out facts about it. At the end of the show, each presenter chose two Trump factors to use in which they think their chosen machine will be best. A fifth trump factor gets randomly chosen. The winner is the one with most Trump factors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
