AI image generators and enhancers have all sorts of applications. Some are scientifically significant, some are plain fun, and some are downright strange and unsettling. Such is the latest trend of using AI to recreate dead people.

Undertakers in China have started offering a new service that uses AI to generate life-like avatars of the deceased, allowing their family to “communicate” with them. And it’s nothing fancy, just Midjourney and ChatGPT that we can all use for the same purpose if we want – which never crossed my mind, honestly!

After Deep Nostalgia, here’s another tool that lets you animate your still images. Tokkingheads lets you choose a photo or avatar, merge it with a video to copy the moves from it, and even add audio to your creations. It’s a bit less impressive than Deep Nostalgia, but more fun and interactive… and I got totally hooked to playing with it!

MyHeritage has introduced some interesting tools that add a new dimension to your old family photos. It offers colorization and image enhancement, and both are AI-powered and available at a click of a button. Now there’s Deep Nostalgia, a new tool that lets you animate your photos. I tried it out, and I’m not sure whether I’m more impressed or freaked out by it.

Yes, the idea has been around for a while, and some techniques can even be used to fake camera moves. While doing it in After Effects can be a bit of a challenge, Corel’s new PhotoMirage software wants to make it as easy as possible.
