Deep Nostalgia™ er en internetsensation!
På kun en uge siden udgivelsen, er Deep Nostalgia™, vores nye funktion til animation af familiefotos, eksploderet i popularitet og blevet en internetsensation. Hidtil er over 25 millioner ansigter blevet animeret, og et flere tusinde fotos animeres hvert minut!
Da vi udgav Deep Nostalgia™ i sidste uge på RootsTech Connect 2021, vidste vi, at elskere af slægtshistorie ville være begejstrede over at se deres elskede forfædres ansigter komme til liv. Vi vidste også, at det havde potentialet til at blive viralt, og vi håbede, at det ville ske, men omfanget af dets succes overgik vores forventninger. Vi er ydmyge over dets popularitet, og vi elsker at se alle eksemplerne, der deles fra hele verden.
Mest af alt elsker vi, at Deep Nostalgia™ skaber massiv interesse for slægtsforskning, især blandt de yngre generationer.
I de første par dage efter udgivelsen skabte den overvældende efterspørgsel nogle indledende stabilitetsproblemer. Vi har arbejdet hårdt for at opgradere vores serviceinfrastruktur for fortsat at imødekomme efterspørgslen, og situationen er nu forbedret. Vi undskylder over for alle dem, der oplevede vanskeligheder. Indtil videre anmodes Android-brugere, der ikke er i stand til at bruge funktionen via MyHeritage-appen, til at bruge den online. På iPhone fungerer alt problemfrit, og MyHeritage-mobilappen kom endda til toppen af App Store, og i går var den den mest downloadede gratis app i USA!
Her er nogle af de højdepunkter, fra det vi har set i den forgangne uge:
Berømtheder der bruger Deep Nostalgia™
Den amerikanske tv-vært Jimmy Kimmel og hans team hævder, at de ikke var særlig produktive på arbejde forleden, takket være Deep Nostalgia™ som tog det meste af deres opmærksomhed den dag!

Den engelske skuespiller, Sir Ian McKellen, som er kendt for sin rolle som Gandalf fra Lord of the Rings, nød at animere tegninger af britiske konger fra århundreder siden og animerede den irske digter og dramatiker Oscar Wilde!

I've found it incredibly moving to see a photo of someone I've read so much about "come to life".
The photo is of Fr Bede Jarrett OP (@BedeJarrettOP), the animation was created by @MyHeritage #DeepNostalgia pic.twitter.com/cPgwb7mTXL— 🍉🌻 Katherine Joan 🌻🍉 (@CrimsonCoatLady) February 27, 2021
I was barely old enough to have vague memories of my grandmother and no video that I'm aware of so it was cool to put a couple of her old photos into motion with @MyHeritage Deep Heritage. pic.twitter.com/x7hP7MXAFC

I am blown away by the “MyHeritage” app. You can upload old pictures and it animates it for you.
This is my great-grandfather. It is one of the only pictures I have of him. I just showed my grandmother and she broke down crying. This is amazing! pic.twitter.com/79aDu4Tkgt

Oversættelse: Jeg lavede en animation på MyHeritage med et foto af min far, og mit hjerte falder på gulvet hver gang han blinker, jeg kan stadig ikke finde stykkerne!
Toda mi vida soné con ver a mi padre VIVO por un instante al menos, pues tenía tan sólo 7 meses cuando falleció.
Hoy esto es posible gracias a la Inteligencia Artificial de @MyHeritage
Aunque sea por unos segundos, hoy fuiste mío!
Gracias Infinitas! pic.twitter.com/qhlwPKyqq2— Diego R. Cáceres (@okDiegoRCaceres) February 28, 2021
Oversættelse: Hele mit liv har jeg drømt om at se min far I LIVE i mindst et øjeblik, da jeg kun var 7 måneder gammel, da han døde. I dag er dette muligt takket være @MyHeritages kunstige intelligens. Selv i et par sekunder var du i dag min! Uendelig mange gange tak!
My Aunt Pola. She survived the Holocaust & helped my other aunt survive. My father & 3 siblings (of 8) survived. Sadly, Pola died only a couple of years after the war, so I never met her. I sort of feel more like I’m meeting her thanks to this animation.https://t.co/08RsvdHtZb

I sympathize, Paul. I just learned of #DeepNostalgia & immediately uploaded a photo. It brought me to tears. Just seeing a blink or a nod brings these photos to life & it means so much. I’m sure this tech will bring many people comfort https://t.co/cuOtdRs24f

I love the way @MyHeritage brought the people in my photo to life! Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, today is the anniversary of his death. Seeing his face move after decades was mind-blowing as we didn't have video of him.🦋#DeepNostalgia https://t.co/SZdxDuYsFf

Media
Joelle Goldstein for People.com siger, at “MyHeritage hjælper folk med at opleve deres slægtshistorie som aldrig før.”
AJ Willingham skriver for CNN: “Det er svært at forklare den blanding af følelser, der gnister ved at se et foto af Frederick Douglass komme til live med et klik på en knap. Og alligevel, der er han, blinker og nikker som om han bare var i live i går, som om han ikke var død i 1895, år før filmoptagelse blev almindelig.”
Deep Nostalgia ™ var også med i Independent, New York Post, Adweek, Design Taxi og mange andre.
Opsummering
Vi er meget berørte af den overvældende støtte, som vi har set til Deep Nostalgia™ de sidste par dage.
Vi er glade for at fortsætte med at forbedre Deep Nostalgia™ yderligere i de kommende uger og arbejde sammen med D-ID om fremtiden for historiske fotos.
Vi er stolte af at hjælpe millioner over hele verden med at bringe deres slægtshistorie til live.
