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

Teams of four race across harsh wilderness for days, navigating through mountains, rivers, and jungles. They push their physical and mental limits to complete the expedition and cross the finish line.

What happens

Eco-Challenge: The Expedition Race is a multi-day expedition length adventure race in which teams of four (five in the early years) competed. It originally aired on Discovery Channel from April 1, 1995, to April 11, 2002. Based closely on the Raid Gauloises adventure race, the broadcast of Eco-Challenge led to the popularity of adventure racing. The race returned in September 2019, taking place in Fiji. The new series, under the title World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji, premiered on August 14, 2020 on Amazon Prime Video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
