The DeepNostalgia™ tool allows a still image to ‘come to life’ as the person appears to move and smile
A spokesperson for MyHeritage said: ‘When we released Deep Nostalgia™ last week at RootsTech, 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. We are humbled by its popularity and we love seeing all the examples shared from all over the world.
‘Most of all, we love it that Deep Nostalgia™ is creating massive interest in genealogy, especially among the younger generations.’
