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

The Code: Crime and Justice is an Australian observational reality legal television series that aired on the Nine Network in February 2007. It was produced by Craig Graham and narrated by William McInnes. The Code followed Victoria police in the field, as well as cases brought to the Magistrates' Court of Victoria. Permission to film in the Court was granted by Chief Magistrate Ian Gray – a level of access considered unprecedented on Australian television. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
