I'm Shari Tipton with CNET and I'm here on Apple's new campus Apple Park is the new billions and billions of dollar facilities that Apple built to house its employees it'll have about 12,000 people here when everybody finally moves in but the public can now come and visit the visitor center there's a new cafe where you can buy coffee there's an area to buy devices like the iPhone 10 you can buy t-shirts baseball hats you can also look at what the campus looks like inside using the special AR iPad table contraption to see areas that we won't actually get to see let's go take a look one of the new features of Apple parks new visitor center is cafe Mac so people who work at Apple's get their coffee at cafe Mac's all over campus you're able to order food and drinks using an iPad they can text you when your drink is ready you go pay for it there are tables set up for people to just relax it's kind of open to the outside it's really a place where Apple wants the public and its neighbors to come and just hang out one of the things that's really unique to the new Apple visitor center at Apple Park is all of this special swag you can't get anywhere else they have little onesies tote bag that say Apple Park there's playing cards I guess if you're trying to kill time postcards and also some special baseball caps they're missing the little button at the top which they said is so you can wear your beats headphones on top and they fit more smoothly Apple's had its shot on iphone campaign for a couple years to show what kind of images you can gather with its devices here it has a special area where you can see glamour shots of this new campus shot on an iPhone another thing that's unique is these Apple Park t-shirts they'll set you back a nice forty dollars if you want to show people that you were actually at the campus you can't get them anywhere else Apple's new visitor center is pretty recognizable for people who've been in any of the redesign Apple stores except for the schwag and this exhibition space that has this aluminum model of the campus it weighs about 11,000 pounds so I don't think they're gonna be moving it anywhere anytime soon you can lift up the roof on the campus to actually see inside so here you can see different work tables trees inside then you can zoom in to actually see closer what it is go is going on there's little people in here when Apple's industrial designers told us that they had people hanging off the roof of the buildings using 360-degree cameras to capture footage they also use drones to really capture the lighting you can switch in between times of day and see what it looks like you know it midnight when the sun's rising when the Sun setting to get a really different view of what the campus is like along with actually looking at the spaceship itself where people are gonna be working we can see a little peek inside the Visitor Center where we actually are Apple also lets you look inside its fitness center there's parking garages basically anything you want to explore on campus Apple lets you check out last stop on our tour of Apple's new visitor center at Apple Park is the rooftop terrace so here are their table setup so if you looking fit and hang out there's also a nice view of the spaceship from here probably the closest that most of us will ever get to it aside from the AR table downstairs it's just they tried to design this so it's seamless between feeling like you're part of the environment versus feeling like you're in the building and you can tell that downstairs as well with the clear glass windows this building just kind of seems to almost hover in the air I hope you enjoyed our tour of the new Apple perk visitor center it's now open to the public so if you're in Cupertino California you can stop by and check it out for yourself I'm sure I chicken with Sienna
