A small business in 3D, told as a story. It opens on the terrace, rushes in through the window, and a blue scan sweeps across the counter to show it is a real 3D model and not a video. Then the bakes, one by one, each with its price, calories, allergens, and the chef's favourite or the Tuesday deal. Beside the 3D sits a working sample menu: coffee, tea, bakes and cold drinks, a basket, delivery or collection, a minimum order and a delivery fee, through to an order tracker. An AI adviser looked at the real terrace and counter and suggested ways the café could earn more, three of them drawn on the real footage as before and after. The 3D was built on one PC.
