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
Tomorrow's World is a 1959 Australian educational television series. Intended to be viewed in schools, it aired on ABC Television in a 20-minute time-slot. Subject matters included plankton, a game between an "electronic brain" and a group of children, and atomic power. It is not known if any of the episodes still exist, given the wiping of the era. The series was part of ABC's experiments which began in 1958 to see whether television could be used to provide educational programming for viewing in classrooms. The programming was produced by the Sydney and Melbourne stations of ABC, who shared their programs with each other via kinescopes/telerecordings made of the shows. It is not known when these classroom series began being shown on ABC's stations in other cities. They were among the earliest documentary television series produced for Australian television.
