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

Dancin' On Air was a 1980s television dance music reality show. It was the forerunner of the TV show Dance Party USA of the same genre. Both shows were produced and created by Michael Nise and his father Frank. The show started with US$100,000 from a small group of investors that included The Tonight Show Band leader Doc Severinsen. The program earned a 128% return on investment (ROI) within the first six months. Dancin' On Air was shot live at WPHL-TV Channel 17 studios in Philadelphia. The production staff worked out of the Nises' production offices and studios located in Camden, NJ. The theme for the shows opening and closing was written by Greg Guarini and Marc Berezowski, under the Company name Sound Concepts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
