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

Open House is an early Australian television series, which aired on Melbourne station GTV-9 from 25 August 1957 to 6 April 1958. The hour-long series aired at 4:45PM on Sundays, and was replaced on the schedule with In Melbourne Today. Like most early Australian series, the series aired in only a single city. Presenters on the series included Jim Wood, Jane Edwards and Peter Lunn, and Hal Todd, with Gretta Miers appearing on the last few episodes. Todd and Miers continued onto In Melbourne Today. The series was of a magazine-format, with interviews, music and guest artists. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
