Strangely, also the name of an entertainment complex in Coventry, UK. Contains much the same things as every other entertainment complex in the UK, including:

Generally leaves a bad taste in the mouth from over commercialisation when visiting. Especially when you've paid for the car park.

A skydome is also a construct used in some 3D video games as a simple, but effective method for representing... the sky.

It typically consists of a collection of triangles and/or quadrilaterals arranged in the shape of a hemisphere. This will then be textured with clouds, stars etc. During gameplay the skydome will be positioned above the game world at a distance and scale sufficient to provide the illusion of a sky that stretches beyond the horizon.
