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

Magic Eye (Korean: 매직아이) was a South Korean talk show which began on July 8, 2014, on Tuesday nights at 11:15 pm KST on SBS. The program was first shown as a pilot on May 13, 2014, and was picked up following a positive response. It was hosted by the singer Lee Hyo-ri, the actress Moon So-ri, the model Hong Jin-kyung and the comedian Kim Gu-ra. The program focused on news stories that might have been missed by viewers, aiming to find the hidden 1mm of the world. Magic Eye was the first program on Korean terrestrial television to incorporate podcasts into the program. Viewers could listen to unshown footage and behind-the-scenes commentary online after the show had been broadcast. The program was cancelled because of low ratings, with its final episode on November 18, 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
