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

Into the Shangri-La (Chinese: 走入香格里拉; pinyin: zǒu rù Xiānggélǐlā) was the Chinese version of the popular show Survivor that was aired in late 2001 on China Central Television as well as many small local channels. Despite the ratings being initially good, the show was not brought back for a second season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
