When it comes to image processing, AI is a powerful tool. Whether we like it or not, it’s here to stay. The results when converting old static images is truly staggering. Yes it’s not perfect, but it certainly goes some way to recreating what life was like many years ago.
Scroll down to see some fascinating examples. For added impact try viewing this on a desktop/laptop computer.
