AI Time Machine from My Heritage

November 19, 2022

As you know, I take my genealogy research very seriously but sometimes it’s good to have “just a bit of fun” with it too. Many of you will have seen My Heritage’s tool, Deep Nostalgia, which was released in early 2021 and brought photos of loved ones “back to life”.


My Heritage's AI Time Machine


The latest tool from My Heritage, AI (Artificial Intelligence) Time Machine, is set to allow us to travel in time! If you are user of social media you will probably have seen people posting their results already. There have also been some reports about it in the press, such as this article from the Daily Mail.


Pictured is an example of my results for the “1970s Hippie” theme. To be honest, the “away with the fairies” look comes quite naturally to me!


You can access the tool here: Travel through history with the AI Time Machine. You do have to upload ten photos of yourself (so make sure you find those first) and ideally some should be side view and some full length, but you can still play around with it if you can’t find all of those.


At the time of writing there were over 20 different themes and examples (left to right) from the 1950s Chic, 1950s, Greek Goddess, Punk Rocker, 1940s, 1920s (B&W), 1970s Hippie and Saxon themes are shown below.
