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

I Supermodel (Chinese: 爱上超模) is a Chinese reality series and modeling competition. The show places a group of fourteen female contestants who are selected by a mentor to compete in teams of seven. The goal of the show is to immerse the finalists into the world of high fashion through several editorial shoots and high paced challenges, finding the perfect supermodel. Filming for the show takes place in an overseas location that is unique to each season. The first season of the show was filmed in Melbourne, Australia, and began to air on March 21, 2015. On May 26, 2015 a second season was announced. The show took applications for girls over 16 years old who met a minimum height requirement of 175 cm (5 ft 9 in). Filming for the second season took place in London. I Supermodel is currently one of the most highly regarded modeling series in China, with total views for season one reaching over 280 million on iQiyi, and ranking at #1 for shows of the same genre.
