In recent news, Google Photos, Google’s popular cloud-based photo storage and sharing service, has introduced a new AI-powered feature that creates a highlights reel of your life. Created with the help of machine learning algorithms, the Highlights reel offering will take years of captured memories and consolidate them into a short, running clip.
Google began working on its AI-powered Highlights reel offering shortly after the introduction of its Memory feature in 2015. Inspired by how our brains work, Memory not only identified topics, occasions, and moments from users’ photo library, but it also curated them with backup and other recommended images. With the addition of Highlights reel, Google Photos is taking its Memory feature a step further.
The AI-powered Highlights reel feature is a compilation of all the best moments of your life. It takes all snapshots from a single year and puts them together into a dynamic, three-minute reel. It’s all done automatically and you can continue to add more photos and videos to enrich the reel. This way, you can relive your top memories whenever you want.
The Highlights reel is generated in a relatively automated way, although users can still make manual modifications. Users can even choose the auto-generated music or manually select the best music befitting their memories.
The reel not only provides users with a way to remember past events, but also helps remind them of those forgotten moments that should have been savored. With the new Highlights reel, Google Photos has taken an even bigger step towards making the precious memories of our lives even more special and meaningful.
