The Gemini app now has a library of immersive explorations, an interactive, visual way to explore topics one layer at a time, from microscopic systems to deep space and more.

Each scene is built around a subject such as tracing trade routes on the Silk Road, looking inside a jet engine, or studying the physics of lightning. Tapping a label digs deeper, moving from sweeping planetary scales down to molecules and atoms. Audio narration that walks you through each layer is coming soon.

Key Features at a Glance
