The Visual Dome, a parallel world where time doesn’t exist on the same plane as ours. Everything feels strangely familiar but quite different. Technology has evolved to the same trajectory as our current world but the Dome seems to be oddly prevalent in an era reminiscent of our yesteryear. The Dome world functions the same way as our Earth does with laws, society, structure, evolution, invention, love, transportation, jobs, education, recreation, wildlife, fragile eco system and Mother Nature. It revolves around a similar construct to Earth, technology is more advanced but the appearance of Dome tech looks rudimentary. Want to capture your dreams at night, keep them logged on system, standard in the Dome. Need to teleport from one area to another, fine if you’re wealthy and a District 1 resident. Food & drug printing, yep, sky bikes, standard in District 2, how about smart ai pets, all the rage in the first three Districts.
Attention to detail is paramount for the residents, it’s all in the fine detail. People take pride in their possessions, whatever they are or how mundane or important the item. The Dome has a very specific look, a little quirky, maybe a touch flamboyant for our standards (depending which District you live in) with a widespread culture of masks, helmets and glasses. Within the Dome over 80% of residents wear some type of headgear. Most ‘Domers’ dress smart, especially in District 1, 2 & 3 with everything from an ai pet outfit to the collar of a Sunday suit having its own unique Dome finesse. Colour choice is also key, a specific palette is echoed throughout all districts, all homes, all possessions.
Everyone and everything within the Dome is a little unusual, personalities, technology, materials, animals, but you can’t put your finger on it. You can see it, hear it, feel it and taste it but you can’t describe it. It’s as if this world is designed and orchestrated by a higher being to tantalise the senses. It’s an audio and visual cacophony.
Within the Dome there is no distinction of race, colour or sexuality. Society is based upon blood line. There are four blood lines, ‘Prime’, ‘H1’, ‘H2’ and ‘H3’. H blood lines are hybrid. As you progress down the scale you’ll see the change in appearance from what we perceive as the standard human to something not too dissimilar to an alien / cyborg race.
The Dome is made up of 5 Districts, but no one is sure why the dome is still slowly expanding as grey slate land masses keep appearing. There are three main climate zones over this world, temperate two season, temperate four season and tropical / arid.
