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

Bizarre Foods America is an American television series, and a spin-off of Bizarre Foods, this time focusing on the United States rather than international travel. Andrew Zimmern travels to various cities throughout the country (as well as Canada, Colombia, and Peru) and samples local cuisines and ways of life. The show premiered on Monday January 23, 2012, at 9:00 ET on Travel Channel. Much like in Bizarre Foods, Andrew heads to food hubs in the country. There he meets with locals and chefs to gain a better understanding of American cuisine, to explore how America has developed a reputation as a melting pot of cultures and foods, and to see what sort of foods are available in American cities. Starting October 27, 2014 the show is returning to its original format as Bizarre Foods. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
