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

Total Xposure is a seven-week reality television show broadcast by TV3 in Ireland It involved a nationwide search to find a new presenter for the channel's prime time entertainment magazine programme Xposé. Total Xposure consisted of a group of ten contestants chosen specifically for the show, most of whom had no prior presenting experience —they did however receive a quick course in presentational technique prior to the competition's commencement. The prize was a six-month contract as presenter of TV3's entertainment news show Xpose. The winner of Total Xposure was Sean Munsanje, a 28-year-old contestant from Dublin. A public vote saw him beat Simon Atkins and Ruth O'Neill in the final on 11 August 2009. Munsanje thus became the first ever non-female presenter of Xpose. On 5 July 2010 it was announced that Sean Munsanje would be leaving Xpose at the end of August, a year after he won the reality TV competition Total Xposure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
