Google has introduced the ability to create interactive 3D models and functional simulations within the Gemini app. This replaces static diagrams with visualizations that users can manipulate directly in the chat window. The feature is currently available to Gemini app users worldwide and requires selecting the Pro model in the prompt bar.

What Gemini’s New Interactive 3D Models and Simulations Do

When a user asks a question about a concept that benefits from a visual representation, Gemini can produce a custom interactive simulation or 3D model. Among the usage scenarios displayed are orbital mechanics simulations with adjustable sliders for gravitational force and initial velocity, double pendulum animations, and rotatable 3D molecular models that can be clicked and dragged to view from any angle.

The interactive output is visible directly within the chat window without requiring a separate application or browser extension.

How to Access Gemini’s Interactive 3D Models and Simulations

To use this feature, visit gemini.google.com and select the Pro model in the prompt bar. Specify your topic using phrases like show me or help me visualize to request visualizations of concepts. For example, you could say, "help me visualize how the double-slit experiment works."

The feature is being rolled out gradually, so it may not be available to all users immediately. Google has not provided a specific date for when the feature will be available to everyone.

Google has not made an official statement regarding the full scope of supported topics or whether the feature will expand to other Gemini model tiers outside of Pro.
