Google Workspace users can now explore complex topics visually through Gemini's new immersive explorations feature—interactive 3D scenes that let you zoom from planetary scales down to atomic detail, layer by layer. It's available now to all Workspace customers at no extra cost, and it's genuinely useful for training, onboarding, and understanding technical concepts without wading through dense documentation.

What are Gemini's immersive explorations, exactly?

Think of them as interactive visual guides. You pick a topic—say, how a jet engine works or the physics behind lightning—and Gemini presents it as a layered scene you can tap through. Each layer reveals more detail, with guided explanations at every step. You're not just reading about something; you're navigating through it.

The feature launched in Gemini's student hub, but it's rolling out to all Workspace accounts. You can access it directly at gemini.google.com/immersive-explorations on web or mobile.

How could a business actually use this?

Here's where it gets practical:

Technical training: New hire needs to understand your supply chain logistics? There's an exploration for trade routes. Manufacturing processes? Mechanical systems are covered.
Client presentations: Instead of static slides showing how something works, walk a client through an interactive breakdown.
Internal knowledge sharing: Some concepts are just easier to grasp visually. Rather than writing a 20-page explainer, point someone to an exploration that does the heavy lifting.

The audio narration feature (coming soon) will make these even more useful for asynchronous training—someone can learn at their own pace without needing a facilitator.

What languages and plans does this work with?

Currently supported: English, Indonesian, Hindi, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and Simplified Chinese. If your Workspace is set to another language, you'll get the English version for now.

It's available to:

Google Workspace Education (Fundamentals, Standard, Plus)
All Google Workspace business plans
Workspace Individual subscribers
Personal Google accounts

No admin setup required. If your organisation already has Gemini enabled, your team can start using it immediately.

Is there anything admins need to configure?

Not for this specific feature. The only control is whether Gemini itself is turned on or off for your organisation. If you've already enabled Gemini in Google Workspace, immersive explorations come along with it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn off immersive explorations for my organisation?
There's no separate toggle. You can only enable or disable the Gemini app entirely through your admin console.

Does this cost extra?
No. It's included with your existing Workspace subscription—no add-on licence required.

Will there be more topics added?
Google hasn't published a roadmap, but the feature is clearly designed to expand. The library covers everything from microscopic biology to deep space, with more subjects likely on the way.

Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. It works on both web and mobile versions of the Gemini app.
