There is no doubt that old photos bring back many memories. Whether from family, friends, celebrities or anyone else, the truth is that they are present in our memory. From this memory generated by us appears Deep Nostalgia, a new Artificial Intelligence that allows these old photos to come to life.
It may not be too ethical to play "revive the dead", but the truth is that everything depends on the responsibility and interests of each. Thanks to this AI, famous people who have already died have been "revived" thanks to their old photographs, and you can achieve the same with whoever you want if you have an image of that person.
Deep Nostalgia: this is the AI that "revives the dead"
As we mentioned, in this case Deep Nostalgia is an online service developed by D-ID, an Israeli company that focuses on this type of manipulation through Artificial Intelligence, and the specific service is offered by MyHeritage.
If you access Deep Nostalgia, you will be able to see how the platform directly requests an image of that person, which will be uploaded to be able to process it correctly. Once this is done, the tool will take care of enhancing that image and then begin to give it movement until it is as realistic as possible. You can try it on your own with any photo if you access its official website, or see examples like Rosalind Franklin.

However, before trying your own photos, you should keep in mind that In order to use the tool, although it is free, you must leave some personal information, like your email address. This may lead to spamming of other MyHeritage products in the future, but it is undoubtedly a most interesting tool.
