History Brought To Life Like Never Seen Before with Matt Loughrey

► Hello everyone and nice to see you back. Today we're looking at next level photography restorations and facial animations that are going to blow you away. Matt Loughrey from Ireland, is the guy behind a very ambitious project called "My Colorful Past" that is lately getting a lot of attention and all for the right reasons. Personally I have not seen anything like it before. He uses one of a kind imaging technique to bring old and grainy images into vivid life, with movements and emotions, that create exhilarating experience. This could completely change how history is taught in schools and museums. And the good news is, anyone can access this service by visiting his website, all details are available in the description of this video below. With his permission, I had access to some of his latest works that I'm going to share it with you today. Enjoy!

Please check the video to see history brought to life by Matt Loughrey from "My Colorful Past". He uses a pioneering technology called X-Oculi, that involves combination of unrivalled artistry and cutting edge orbital motion-tracking, bringing still images of long-departed to life, imbued with movement and emotions.

I would have enjoyed it even more, if the close-ups would show the entire face, not just half.

[micsuehar]

Wow...isn't it amazing how the eyes truly kindle that flicker of life when they begin movement?

[PeggyJBrowning]

I liked them..couldn’t see it well being that only half faces were shown...didn’t enjoy it as much as I like the statues coming to life.

[kaybrown]

When the animated subjects turned their gaze to the viewer, it started me, especially Henry VII. Riveting work! Thank you.

[deniseoates]

It almost as if they came alive and they are looking around to figure where they are. Kind of spooky in away. I really appreciate this artistic technology.

[terereynolds]

I don't like the way everything is cut in half, full facial pictures would of been so much better and easier to see .

[trojanette]

This featured artist has the best eye movement manipulation that I've seen, out of all your artists -- so far.

The re-creation of Barrow's face is pretty darn accurate from what I've heard from people that were alive at the time. My grandmother was alive and living in OK at the time. A description passed on to the family by, others that crossed paths with him described him as "good looking" and "handsome for his age" with a nice, 'swarthy' look. I don't think however they meant swarthy the way we use it today.

[bartobruintjes]

The eyes are the way to the soul. It doesn't matter if it's today, yesterday, hundreds or thousands years ago.

[robinmartz]

Awesome! This could really change the way children SEE history, which is sorely needed these days!

[triciaford]

I adore this work, everytme I see this I want to take a time machine back to meet each of these people...excellent

[robfriar]

Thank you! Every week I looked forward to your videos. This time, everything was different. The people were alive. I would have loved to sat and talked with someone of them, hearing about their lives and what it was like when they lived. It was very powerful and moving.

This is phenomenal! However, the half-screen visuals are annoying. What’s the purpose for doing it that way? Some of these people in history are recent enough that a little research into the person’s usual expressions would bring more realism to the photographs. The eye movements are awesome. What about varying the directions they look instead of all of them with the same eye movements, more as if they’re actually looking at something or someone.

[rolfsinkgraven]

A very nice one again but zoom in in the full face makes a better view.

[adrianjohn]

Astonishing! These little moment when history caught in a photo comes alive just by a blink of an eye.

[toodlesgalore]

Archer of the Mary Rose looks like young Gerard Depardieu 😂

[CreativeForcePro]

The accuracy in this one seems very high, it's very promising, the history will never be looked the same anymore.
The nefertiti bust coming to life is simply unreal, I can't wait until they will be able to animate the whole face, imagine nefertiti talking in her own native language that would be a time machine.

[ravisingh-jkyp]

Great job but please try to show whole face instead of half

[cassievanbrunt]

I dont want to see criminals and murderers immortalized like this. They had all the infamy they should in life.

[bornontherimofchaos]

Unsettling to see knowing that these people are dead and seeing these pictures come to life. The way they move is incredible. The person who does this is talented beyond words.

[mikeburch]

Thank you for making this effort. It's walking back in time.
