Amazing New App for Genealogists
My Heritage, a genealogy company, has introduced a new app that can make pictures come alive. Its new service called Deep Nostalgia animates the faces of folks in old photos, creating short videos that look like they’re posing before the camera shutter’s click.
On MyHeritage’s website, you can make high-quality, realistic videos in a snap. When you upload a photo, it goes through Deep Nostalgia’s drivers, which apply a set sequence of gestures. Then, the tool applies those movements to your photo, which lets you see your ancestors smile, blink and move around.
Although the videos can look a bit robotic, they also give you a new perspective on people we’ve lost to the sands of time. Since so many historical photos are small and blurry, Deep Nostalgia enhances the photos and sharpens their faces.
To try this on a photo, go to My Heritage Deep Nostalgia page and up load a photo. At this time, it does not animate group photos but you can pick the person you want to animate.
Try this with one of your photos. The company does ask that you use it only for pictures of people who are no longer living.
