Lehi, UT—Family history platform MyHeritage introduced a new feature that lets you relive your favorite memories by turning any photo into a short video: MyHeritage LiveMemory. Further, the video reimagines the scene as if you were watching it live. LiveMemory is available on the MyHeritage mobile app for iOS as well as Android. Moreover, the feature uses AI technology to animate photos and simulate the scenes depicted in them in a realistic way.
MyHeritage LiveMemory Details
When a photo is uploaded, the AI model analyzes it to create the most suitable animation and recreates the scene. In photos with multiple people, the algorithm will animate gestures as well as have them interact. The result is a 5-second video clip. 
Additionally, LiveMemory is perfect for recreating nostalgic family photos. It also works well on photos with objects or animals. The algorithm can simulate parts of the scene that don’t appear in the original photo, as if a camera were following the movement beyond the edges of the photo.
While extremely realistic, the video clips are recreations created by artificial intelligence; they are not authentic. Consequently, as part of MyHeritage’s commitment to responsible AI, watermarks are added to LiveMemory videos to distinguish them from authentic videos.
