MyHeritage’s AI Time Machine generates realistic photos of what you would looked like in an era.
AI Time Machine™ is a fun feature on MyHeritage that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create imaginary AI avatars (images) of a person as he or she may have looked in different periods in history. It takes real photos of a subject that you upload, and transforms them into stunning, hyper-realistic AI avatars depicting that person featured.
AI Time Machine™ currently offers dozens of themes representing different historical eras, from prehistoric times to 21 st century outer space. When using the feature for the first time, the first few themes will be selected for you automatically. Once the first batch of images is ready, you can select additional themes.
It takes real photos of a subject that you upload, and transforms them into stunning, hyper-realistic AI avatars depicting that person featured in a variety of themes from across the globe — from prehistoric times to the age of space exploration and beyond. Using AI Time Machine™, you can see yourself as an Egyptian pharaoh, a medieval knight, a 19th-century lord or lady, an astronaut, and much more, in just a few clicks!
AI Time Machine™ utilizes text-to-image technology licensed from Astria. Using a number of photos of one subject, it constructs a model that can depict the same person in a variety of poses and lighting conditions that are different from those in the original photos. Then, using a series of predefined themes, it synthesizes the model with motifs from the various themes to craft photorealistic AI avatars.
You can create beautiful and realistic AI avatars of yourself in different time periods on this page, in just a few simple steps. Click “Try it now” and follow the instructions to upload 10–25 photos of yourself taken at different angles. Once you’ve uploaded the required photos, enter a title and select a gender. The technology will then get to work and you’ll receive an email when your images are ready, with a link to view the results.
It typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes to build the initial model from your uploaded photos and prepare all the AI avatars for you. You’ll receive an email when your images have been created.
For Optimal Results ;
The quality of the output you’ll receive depends very much on the quality of the photos you upload. The more photos you upload and the more varied they are, the better your results will be. For best results, use existing photos from your camera roll or computer that include:
Singularity: Only one person (and always the same person)
Variety: Selfies (mostly), but also some upper-body and full-body
Different poses and expressions, with different head angles
Photos taken on different days (avoid photoshoots of many photos taken in the same setting)
Avoid heavy makeup and sunglasses.
No photos of children, and no swimsuit photos or explicit photos
