1. What is Dynamic View?#
Dynamic View is a revolutionary experimental feature launched by Google with the Gemini 3 model. It marks a shift in AI from "generating text" to "generating interfaces (Generative UI)."
In simple terms, when a user makes a request, Gemini 3 is no longer limited to returning a piece of text or a static image; it can leverage its Agentic Coding capabilities to write code (usually HTML/CSS/JavaScript) in real-time in the background and instantly render an interactive, customized application interface.
Core Idea: The best answer is often not a piece of text, but a tool.
2. Core Features#
- Bespoke UI: The interface is crafted live based on your prompt, not a preset template.
- Interactive: Supports actions like clicking, swiping, dragging, and filtering, making the user a participant rather than a bystander.
- On-the-fly: From understanding the needs to generating a usable software interface, it typically takes just a few seconds.
3. Dynamic View vs. Visual Layout#
| Feature | Visual Layout | Dynamic View |
|---|---|---|
| Main Form | Magazine-style text and image layout | Application-style interactive interface |
| Depth of Interaction | Shallow (click to navigate, read) | Deep (simulate, calculate, filter, input) |
| Typical Scenarios | Travel guides, recipes, news | Interactive teaching, complex calculations, decision support |
4. Detailed Scenarios#
The power of Dynamic View lies in its ability to generate specific interactive tools based on pain points in different fields. Here are four core categories of scenarios:
4.1 Immersive Education and Concept Visualization#
Traditional educational Q&A can only provide textual definitions, while Dynamic View can offer a "laboratory."
-
Physics Simulation:
-
User Question: "What happens if I throw a baseball on the moon compared to Earth?"
-
Dynamic View: Generates a projectile simulator. It includes two sliders (pitch speed, launch angle), allowing users to drag the sliders and see the small ball's flight path change in real-time, visually demonstrating the effect of gravity on the trajectory, while the same parameters can be compared between Earth and the moon.
-
-
Historical Timeline:
- User Question: "Show the key turning points in the Pacific theater during World War II."
- Dynamic View: Generates an interactive timeline map that can be scrolled horizontally. Clicking on a time point changes the battle lines on the map, and clicking on a battle name pops up a detailed data card.

-
Logic/Math Problems:
- User Question: "What is the Monty Hall paradox (Three Doors Problem)?"
- Dynamic View: Generates an interactive game with three doors. Users can play 20 times, and the interface on the right side will show real-time statistics of the winning probabilities for "switching doors" versus "not switching," breaking intuition with data.

4.2 Complex Consumer Decisions and Comparisons#
Faced with complex parameter comparisons, text lists can be overwhelming, but Dynamic View can generate comparison tools similar to e-commerce backends.
-
Digital Product Selection:
-
User Question: "I want to buy a laptop, with a budget around 8000, mainly for video editing, recommend a few models and compare."
-
Dynamic View: Generates an interactive table.
- Features: You can check "only see 32GB memory" to filter; click the header to sort by "processor performance"; there’s even a "highlight differences" button that automatically marks the differences among several models.
-
-
Real Estate/Loan Calculation:
-
User Question: "If I rent instead of buying a house and invest, which is more cost-effective after 30 years?"
-
Dynamic View: Generates a hyperbolic graph calculator.
- Features: There’s a row of input boxes on the left (house price increase, rent, investment return rate, loan interest rate). Each time the user modifies a number, the two wealth curves on the right will change in real-time, visually showing when the two paths intersect in which year.

4.3 Personal Life Management Tools#
Gemini becomes your personal software engineer, developing one-off mini-programs for you.
-
Fitness/Diet Planning:
-
User Question: "Create a 2000-calorie fat-loss meal plan for me, I don't like carrots."
-
Dynamic View: Generates a draggable weekly view calendar.
- Features: Each meal is displayed as a card, and you can drag Monday's lunch to Tuesday; clicking the "replace" button allows you to swap out disliked dishes, and the top "total calorie dashboard" changes color in real-time (green/yellow/red) as you adjust.
-
-
Outfit Suggestions:
- User Question: "I have these clothes (upload image), help me match a week's worth of business casual outfits."
- Dynamic View: Generates a virtual wardrobe interface. You can click on three spinners for "tops," "pants," and "shoes" for random combinations, or have AI recommend a few fixed lookbooks, with clickable links to view purchase options or styling reasons.
4.4 Data Insights and Instant Charts#
Transforming dull CSV or text data into an explorable dashboard.
-
Stock Market/Financial Report Analysis:
- User Question: "Analyze the relationship between Company A's revenue and net profit over the past 5 years."
- Dynamic View: Generates a combination chart (bar chart + line chart). Hovering over the mouse reveals specific quarterly values, and there may be a time axis zoom bar at the bottom to focus on details from specific years.
5. Why is this Important?#
Dynamic View effectively redefines the standard of "answers."
- From "Informing" to "Empowering": Previously, AI told you the answer; now AI gives you a tool to explore the answer yourself.
- Lowering Software Development Barriers: Simple calculators or web pages that used to take programmers days to write can now be generated by ordinary users in seconds with a single sentence.
- Increased Information Density and Dimensions: The amount of information contained in an interactive interface is geometrically higher than linear text.
