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

Let's Play Reporter is an early American television series. It was an experimental test program broadcast on May 23, May 30 and June 6, 1946. Presumably intended to try out a new concept on television, it was produced by the American Broadcasting Company but aired on DuMont Television Network station WABD-TV. Though only aired on a single station, it nevertheless represents an early example of television programming. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
