The Viral Rise of the Nano Banana Use Case: Google Gemini’s 3D Figure and Hologram Effects

In the AI community, “Nano Banana” has become a widely discussed keyword recently. It is not just a random name; rather, it is the codename adopted by Google DeepMind for its latest generation AI image editing and generation model, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. With its distinctive name and groundbreaking capabilities, this model has quickly sparked heated discussions among creators and developers.

Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image: Positioning of Nano Banana

As an important upgrade in the Gemini series, Nano Banana focuses on image generation and editing, combining lightweight and high-speed features while maintaining high-quality visual output. It can generate complex and creative visual effects under minimal input conditions, showcasing the immense potential of multimodal AI in visual creation.

The Explosive Visual Effects: 3D Figure Style and Hologram

In recent demonstrations and user tests, Nano Banana has introduced two highly anticipated cutting-edge visual effects:

●  3D Figure Style

Capable of transforming two-dimensional images or flat materials into three-dimensional characters or objects with a sense of space and depth. Unlike traditional 3D modeling, Nano Banana allows ordinary users to easily generate three-dimensional characters with light, shadow, texture, and dynamic poses. Its application scenarios cover short video content, virtual avatars, game trailers, and e-commerce displays.

●  Hologram Effect

By using semi-transparent layering and light simulation, it presents virtual elements with a floating effect akin to holographic projection. This visual effect is highly futuristic and is often used for showcasing tech products, educational presentations, and short video content on social media, quickly capturing the audience’s attention.

The rapid popularity of these two effects can be attributed to:

1. Low Barrier to Entry — No reliance on complex equipment, making it accessible to ordinary users.

2. Strong Impact — 3D and holographic elements naturally attract attention.

3. Wide Application — Covering everything from personal entertainment to commercial marketing.

In other words, Nano Banana is not just a special effects tool; it is driving the next phase of AI visual generation combined with immersive content.
