Those family photos hung on the wall might soon take on a new life.

The genealogy platform MyHeritage released a feature that animates faces in still photos using video reenactment technology.

The feature, called Deep Nostalgia, produces a realistic depiction of how a person could have moved and looked if they were captured on video.

Deep Nostalgia, licensed from the AI face platform D-ID, uses pre-recorded driver videos prepared by MyHeritage. The pre-recorded videos direct the movements in the animation and consist of sequences of real human gestures.

Users can upload a picture regardless of the number of faces in it. The photos are enhanced prior to animation using the MyHeritage Photo Enhancer.
