Apple temporarily closes the Exhibition Space at its Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino, according to multiple reports. The closed area is the space where Apple has hosted a virtual and augmented reality experience for years. Apple does not specify the scope or purpose of the refurbishment, but it says an “update is in progress.”
The Exhibition Space has featured an Apple Park model designed for interaction via an iPad overlay, a concept Apple introduced in 2017 as part of the visitor center’s VR/AR offering. AppleInsider notes that the section has been closed without a stated timeline, and identifies it as the part that previously supported the visitor center’s long-running VR exhibition.
9to5Mac similarly reports that the visitor center is partially closed, with the company withholding details about the improvements. Both outlets agree the closure is temporary and tied to store/exhibition upgrades, though neither provides confirmed information about what changes visitors will see once the space reopens.
