MyHeritage Deep Nostalgia

What is MyHeritage Deep Nostalgia?

MyHeritage Deep Nostalgia is a unique feature offered by MyHeritage that allows users to animate faces in still photos. By using deep learning algorithms, Deep Nostalgia brings old family photos to life by creating realistic movements in the images, such as nodding or blinking. This technology adds a new dimension to genealogy and family history, enabling individuals to see their ancestors in a more vivid and relatable manner. Users can upload photographs to the MyHeritage platform and apply the Deep Nostalgia feature to experience a touching and nostalgic way of connecting with their heritage and past generations.

Who created MyHeritage Deep Nostalgia?

MyHeritage, the creator of Deep Nostalgia, licensed the remarkable technology for animating photos from D-ID, a company specializing in deep video reenactment. MyHeritage integrated this technology to animate people in historical photos and create high-quality, realistic video images. Deep Nostalgia™ uses multiple prepared drivers, where each driver is a video clip of fixed movements and gestures. This allows for precise application of the drivers to a person in a photo, bringing them to life in a short video clip.
