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.

How it feels

Established artists compete in a singing competition to represent Malaysia at a regional level. The winner is chosen by a mix of jury votes and audience text messages.

What happens

IKON Malaysia is a reality singing competition which searches for a champion among existing or established artistes rather than among new, unknown starlets as in other such singing competitions. The programme was co-launched with IKON Indonesia and IKON Philippines in late 2006 as an initiative to search for an artiste who can represent the country in the regional, ASEAN level. The verdict is determined by 70% of jury marks and 30% SMS. Ikon Malaysia began its run on Astro Ria in May 2007, and is hosted by Sarimah Ibrahim. The final stage was held on 28 July 2007. Jaclyn Victor and OAG was chosen to represent Malaysia in Ikon ASEAN which was held on 12 August 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
