What it means for educators in the classroom Still, this powerful technology can provide many more benefits than just playful fun. The applications primarily focus on entertainment, as they make an image lip-sync with popular songs or imitate a celebrity from a movie. Many AI-powered applications turn images into animated videos by putting your face in a meme, GIF or video. The app uses AI to identify the specific face structure from an image to recreate expressions and facial movements that look natural. The technology used to animate these photos has been around for a while now, but the term “Deep Nostalgia” was recently introduced through an app called MyHeritage. For my mom, the Deep Nostalgia technology provoked a deeper connection with her father. When I shared this video with my mother, she was speechless because she’s never had a video of him. More companies will create this type of experience, and I expect this to be a first step in using more AR and AI in our photos and in the classroom.įor example, within a minute of uploading a photo of my grandfather, the image of his face started moving, and his eyes looked from left to right. But the pandemic and hybrid learning environment have been a catalyst of creativity as many schools, parents and teachers found creative, digital ways to make lessons come alive.
