Bringing the Past Back to Life?
New technology enables us to take any photo -- from the late Harriet Tubman to your great-grandmother -- and animate them within seconds. Sweet nostalgia or eerie perspective?
The platform, My Heritage, recognized widely as an ancestry tool, has added a new feature to its offering – one that's bringing pivotal, historical figures back to life through AI-licensed technology, known as D-ID.
But the company's application known as Deep Nostalgia, isn't limited to those we've never known; it also provides the opportunity to animate those we've loved, and lost.
While the general reaction to the technology has been positive – most are taken aback by its life-like capabilities – some squirm a bit at the sight of an algorithm's depiction of their past loved one's expressions.
Simply upload some photos – you can even colorize them -- and seconds later, voila!
