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

Iron Chef Vietnam (Vietnamese: Siêu Đầu Bếp Việt Nam) is a Vietnamese cooking show based on the Japanese show Iron Chef, as well as its American adaptation Iron Chef America and The Next Iron Chef. The program is a sort of culinary game show, with each episode seeing a challenger chef competing against one of the resident "Iron Chefs" in a one-hour cooking competition using a theme ingredient. The show was put into production by the Vietnam Television mainly to rival to MasterChef Vietnam currently in pre-production. The show is produced mainly by TV Plus with support of Vietnam Television. It is initially scheduled to premiere on Sunday April 22, 2012 at 11:00AM slot on VTV3, but delayed to May 6 at the same slot. Expectedly, Martin Yan joined the set and showed some cooking tips.
