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 $20 Challenge was an Australian reality television series that was broadcast on the Network Ten in 2000. The show was hosted by Tim Bailey, and saw four Australians trying to survive in a foreign country with nothing but $20 to their name. The eventual winner was Rhiannon Kelly-Pearce. The show was the first television role for James Mathison. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
