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 Star is a Swedish singing reality competition television series for youths between the age of 13–19. The series was developed in 2007 by ICA Maxi in cooperation with Diggiloo, and aired between 2008 and 2010. The winner of the contest would perform at the Diggiloo summer tour all over Sweden. The winner is decided by a jury and also by votes from the Swedish people. The surplus of the voting would go to the World Childhood Foundation. Next Star has brought in 1.2 million (SEK) to the foundation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
