New AI brings old photos of deceased loved ones to life

Deep Nostalgia, a service offered by online genealogy company MyHeritage, uses D-ID licensed AI to

Create a motion effect for animated photos. This is similar to the iOS Live Photos feature.

But Deep Nostalgia can take photos of anyonecameras and bring them to life. The program uses a database of pre-recorded videos of facial movements. By analyzing each photo, the system applies the one that best suits the still image in question. The goal is to give people the opportunity to see deceased loved ones “come to life” in photographs.

Users must register a freeaccount on MyHeritage and then upload the photo. Further, the process is automated; the site improves the image before animating it and creating a gif. The site's FAQ states that it does not provide photos to third parties, and its home page says: "Photos uploaded without completing registration are automatically deleted to protect your privacy."

You can upload five photos to MyHeritage for free to use Deep Nostalgia, after which you must register for a paid account.
