There's a new app on the App Store that lets you upload an old photo and bing it to life. The app is called, My Heritage and the feature is Deep Nostalgia.
I tried the app out, it's very fun (and maybe a bit creepy too). It's also free-ish. The download won't cost you a dime, but you must sign up, give them all kinds of family tree info (I just put in gibberish) and then subscribe (they offer a free trial.)
Once I went through all those steps, I uploaded a photo from when I was 18 years old, colorized it and brought it to life. Very freaking cool.
Imagine what you could do with *really* old photos — like ones from family who have since passed on. Here's my grandfather, Harold Hamilton back when he was a lieutenant in the Air Force (he retired as a Colonel and flew KC-135's for 30 years).

After I got my fill of bringing old photos to life, I deleted all the images from the app and canceled the free trial (I'm not paying $199 per year to animate pictures). But definitely intriguing. Especially for someone working on a family tree project, oh the video you could make with family from yesteryear.
