TierZoo


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.
How it feels
This web series explains animal biology and evolution by comparing them to video game characters. The host talks about different species as if they are players in a game called Outside, with habitats as servers.
