Google has introduced a new capability in the Google Gemini app that enables users to generate interactive simulations and models directly within chat. The feature allows users to turn complex questions into custom, interactive visualizations for better understanding.
Gemini gets interactive simulations
With this update, Gemini can convert user queries into functional simulations instead of relying only on text responses or static diagrams. These simulations allow users to explore topics in an interactive format within the chat interface.
Previously, responses were mainly text-based with fixed visuals. Now, Gemini can deliver simulations that respond dynamically to user input. Users can explore concepts such as rotating molecules or simulating physics systems through a single prompt.
When visualizing scenarios like how the Moon orbits the Earth, users are not limited to static diagrams. They can adjust parameters such as initial velocity and gravity strength using sliders or manual inputs and instantly observe how these variables affect orbital behavior.
Key features
- Generates custom interactive simulations and models within chat
- Converts complex queries into dynamic visualizations
- Replaces static diagrams with functional simulations
- Supports real-time interaction through sliders and manual inputs
- Allows adjustment of variables like velocity and gravity
- Enables visualization of concepts such as molecular structures and physics systems
- Works with prompts like “show me” or “help me visualize”
Availability
The feature is rolling out globally to all Gemini app users and can be accessed via the Gemini web interface by selecting the Pro model in the prompt bar, but it is currently not available for Education and Workspace accounts.
