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
Contestants step into a clear Perspex cube to take on physical and mental challenges for a cash prize. A voice explains the rules as they attempt tasks like catching, balancing, and memorization.

What happens
The Cube is a British television game show that aired on ITV from 22 August 2009 to 23 December 2021. It was hosted by Phillip Schofield. The original series offered contestants the chance to win a top prize of £250,000 by completing challenges from within a 4m × 4m × 4m Perspex cube. The challenges involve physical and mental tasks including catching, throwing, estimation, reacting, memorisation, and balancing. Colin McFarlane provides the disembodied voice of The Cube, who explains the rules of the games. The show ran from 2009 to 2015, before returning as The Million Pound Cube in 2020, and again under its original title in 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
