Google’s Gemini AI can answer your questions with 3D models and simulations
TL;DR
Google's latest upgrade for Gemini will allow the chatbot to generate interactive 3D models and simulations in response to your questions.
Key Points
- With the new feature, you may see options to rotate the AI-generated model, manually adjust sliders on it, or input different values to change the simulation in real-time.
- When trying out the feature for myself, I asked Gemini to make a simulation of the Moon orbiting the Earth, and it created a 3D model with a few different ways to interact with it.
Nauti's Take
Interactive 3D simulations generated on demand is a genuine breakthrough for education and STEM — complex concepts become tangible in seconds. The risk is accuracy: AI-generated physics simulations can look convincing while being subtly wrong.
Nauti recommends using Gemini's simulations as a starting point and always cross-checking critical content against authoritative sources.
