Opus 5.5 powers a magic photo of a late grandfather who speaks Cantonese
A developer used Opus 5.5 with a real-time digital human and Cantonese speech to turn a grandfather's photo into a clickable desktop widget that comes to life and talks in real time, and open-sourced it.
I put my late grandpa inside a Harry Potter–style magic photo on my desktop 👴 Click the picture and he comes to life, chatting with me in Cantonese in real time. It almost feels like he never left. 🛠 Built with: @spatius_avatar : real-time digital human, rendered on-device, lip-synced to speech @livekit : real-time voice @deepseek_ai : the brain (his personality and memories are just two text files) @Azure : Cantonese voice Electron: desktop widget @claudeai : Opus 5.5 When my husband saw it, he's excited and and wants to make one of his late grandpa to keep his 80-year-old grandma company. He also wants to make one of himself, so he can "work with me" every day 😆 So I've open-sourced it. Make one for someone you love 💛 https://github.com/YujunZeng-Lulu/real-time-magic-portrait
