Everyone's trying Deep Nostalgia to bring old photos alive

Everyone’s trying Deep Nostalgia to bring old photos alive MyHeritage genealogy platform introduces a wildly popular made-in-Israel feature enabling users to animate faces from the past. Screenshot from MyHeritage Deep Nostalgia Only two weeks after online genealogy platform MyHeritage debuted its jaw-dropping Deep Nostalgia photo-animation feature,  more than 43 million faces have come to life and a few thousand more photos are being animated every minute. The Israel-based MyHeritage licensed this sophisticated Live Portrait technology from another Israeli company, D-ID. “When we released Deep Nostalgia last week at RootsTech Connect 2021,  we knew that lovers of family history would be thrilled to see their beloved ancestors’ faces come to life. We also knew that it had the potential to go viral, and we hoped that would happen, but the extent of its success exceeded our expectations,” Esther of MyHeritage blogged on March 4.

Moving 'Deep Nostalgia' Photos of Dead People Are Wild

The #MyHeritage tech is producing some interesting results By Jessica MasonMar 1st, 2021, 4:37 pm You’ve heard of deep fakes: where someone with the help of an AI digitally pastes one face onto another person’s actions. It’s incredibly eerie all on its own, but when we’re talking about one living face getting plastered on another, there’s a level of “weird, but fine” there. It’s a little more complicated when the deep fake technology is being used to create “deep nostalgia” and bring long-dead relatives and famous figures back to digital “life.” Deep Nostalgia is a service from the genealogy website MyHeritage (which is crashing pretty hard right now due to everyone using this, so don’t be surprised if that link takes you to an error page) and was launched late in February. The service uses a technology called Deep Learning to transform still pictures into eerily alive moving images. Just input an old photo of a departed loved one and … there you go.
