OpenAI brings interactive visuals to ChatGPT with dynamic explanations

OpenAI is rolling out a new user interface that adds interactive visuals to ChatGPT, and it wants you to stop reading explanations and start playing with them. The feature, called dynamic visual explanations, was announced on March 10, 2026. It lets users manipulate math and science concepts directly instead of scrolling through another wall of text. How dynamic visual explanations work The core idea is simple. Instead of describing how a concept behaves, ChatGPT now shows it, and then hands you the controls. OpenAI’s own example is the Pythagorean theorem. Users can adjust the sides of a triangle and watch the result change instantly as they move things around. At launch, the feature covers more than 70 topics across math and science. Examples range from the Pythagorean theorem and kinetic energy to Hooke’s law and Coulomb’s law. Availability is broad. The feature is open to all logged-in ChatGPT users, so it is not walled off behind a premium tier or limited to a small test group.
