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

NBC Sports is an American sports programming division for NBCUniversal, a division of Comcast, and owned and operated through its subsidiary NBC Sports Group, that is responsible for sports broadcasts on its broadcast network NBC, its cable channels, and its streaming service Peacock. Founded on May 17, 1939, originally as "a service of NBC News", NBC Sports broadcasts a diverse array of sports events, including Big East basketball, Big Ten football and basketball, NASCAR, the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), Notre Dame football, the Olympic Games, PGA Tour golf, the Premier League, the Tour de France and Thoroughbred racing among others. With Comcast's acquisition of NBCUniversal in 2011, its own cable sports networks were aligned with NBC Sports into a part of the NBC Sports Group division. In 2026, NBCUniversal spun off most of their cable channels to form Versant and NBC Sports may still produce Olympics coverage and other selected telecasts on those networks.
