Google has recently added interactive 3D models and simulation features to its Gemini AI chatbot. This new feature aims to help users deepen their understanding of scientific concepts through dynamic visualizations, rather than relying solely on traditional text and static diagrams. Users can simply issue relevant instructions to Gemini to generate interactive 3D content and dynamic charts.
Compared to previous responses that mainly showed text and static charts, Gemini can now provide "runnable simulations," presenting complex topics in a dynamic way. Users can use this feature to simulate complex physical systems, rotate molecular structures, or observe the moon's movement around the Earth from a three-dimensional perspective. For example, when simulating the moon's orbit, users can adjust parameters such as initial velocity and gravitational strength using manual sliders and see in real time how these variables together form a stable orbit.
To use this new feature, Google suggests that users use expressions like "Show me" or "Help me visualize" when asking questions, while ensuring they select the "Pro" model to access the relevant capabilities. For instance, when a user inputs "Visualize how fractals work," Gemini will generate a dynamic image of fractal growth, allowing users to adjust branch angles, length ratios, and iteration counts to observe changes in the fractal shape. Similarly, in the field of quantum physics, users can explore the process of the double-slit experiment by asking "Demonstrate how the double-slit experiment works." Gemini will provide an interactive interface where users can modify parameters such as wavelength, wave speed, and slit distance, and see real-time changes in waveforms and interference patterns, thus gaining a more intuitive understanding of these abstract physical concepts.
In its blog, Google stated that this 3D model and simulation feature is gradually being made available to all users, but it is currently not supported for educational accounts and Workspace accounts. The official said that this feature is an extension of Gemini's previous learning and teaching capabilities, aiming to further enhance its performance in education and knowledge visualization. Previously, Gemini was already able to generate clickable interactive diagrams for subjects such as biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics, helping students explore complex academic topics through graphical means. The newly added 3D models and dynamic simulation features provide a higher dimension of visualization on this basis.
