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

Finding 8 is an outdoor game show by Singapore's MediaCorp Channel 8. It debuted on 7 July 2014. There are four main hosts: Kym Ng, Lee Teng, Quan Yi Fong and Ben Yeo. It is similar to the Korean variety show Running Man. In each episode, guests join the four hosts e.g. Vivian Lai and Guo Liang. There are missions to complete, upon which competitors receive a clue on "8", which might be a person or an object. The first person who finds 8 will receive a $1000 shopping voucher and a secret weapon. The secret weapon (神秘力量) may be used in the following episode to help the host win. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
