Gemini gets immersive explorations: learn a topic layer by layer, from atom to space

Google launched immersive explorations in the Gemini app on October 28, 2026: a library of interactive visual scenes for studying a topic layer by layer, from the microscopic to deep space. The idea is to replace long blocks of text with an experience in which users tap labels and dive into ever more detailed levels of the same subject.

Google's examples include tracing trade routes on the Silk Road, peering inside a jet engine and studying the physics of lightning. Each scene unfolds in guided layers: users can go from planetary scales down to molecules and atoms, with explanations at each step. The library is a fixed set chosen by Google — specialist coverage notes that, for now, users cannot create an exploration of their own on a topic of their choice.

How to access it and what comes next

Access is through the Gemini student hub, via the "Try immersive explorations" button, or directly at gemini.google.com/immersive-explorations. Google says the explorations will soon also be openable inside a Gemini chat conversation, and that audio narration to walk users through each layer is on the way — with no date announced for either feature.

The feature is available on web and mobile to all users in English, Indonesian, Hindi, Brazilian Portuguese, French and Simplified Chinese. Users in other languages currently get the English-only version, with more languages promised. For Workspace accounts, the student hub covers the Education Fundamentals, Standard and Plus plans; direct access also applies to Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers and personal accounts.
