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

Next Great Baker: Latin America (also known as El desafío de Buddy: Latinoamérica) was a Latin American television series that airs on Discovery Home & Health: Latin America, hosted by Buddy Valastro, the star of his own reality series, Cake Boss. In the show, eight contestants participated in challenges that tested their baking and decorating skills. Each week, a contestant was eliminated; the last contestant standing won a grand prize of US$50,000. Other prizes for winning a challenge or the week's competition are also offered during the series. In each of the six episodes, the participants faced two challenges, a pastry challenge and an elimination challenge. After each challenge, celebrity judges decided on the best creation, the panel including Mexican chef and presenter Alfredo Oropeza, French baker Franck Dauffouis, Mexican pastry chef María Teresa Ramírez Degollado, the Mexican chef Sergio Ibarra Garibay, and Argentine pastry chef Eduardo Ruiz among others. Ultimately, Buddy Valastro decided on the winner. Next Great Baker: Latin America was produced by Endemol Argentina for Discovery Networks International. The show ran for one season in 2014.
