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

Contestants who speak either English or Spanish try to form romantic couples despite the language barrier. They live together in a Spanish villa and use dictionaries and gestures to communicate, with occasional help from an interpreter.

What happens

The Language of Love (also known as Davina McCall's Language of Love) is a British dating reality television show in which contestants try to form relationships with partners who speak a different language. It is set and filmed in Spain, and presented by Davina McCall and Ricky Merino. The show has eight episodes and airs weekly on Channel 4. It features male and female contestants, each of whom only speak either English or Spanish. The contestants stay together in a villa in Spain and each is paired with another contestant who speaks a different language from them. In each episode, an event called the Selección allows some contestants to change the person they are paired with. For the most part, contestants communicate through the language barrier using dictionaries, gestures and so on. However some couples can gain access to a special area called the Zona Romántica where they can communicate more freely using simultaneous interpretation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
