Homebuilt AI System Recreates a Lost Wife as Full-Scale Video
The project shows how consumer-grade AI video tools can be repurposed from music video production into a personal, always-on memorial that keeps a specific person visible at full scale.
Reporting from 1 source: GameBusiness.jp.
A home builder detailed a system called The Window by the Solaris Sea, which uses the MiniMax H3 open-source video generation model and the Krea 2 image model to reconstruct a deceased spouse as full-scale video. While the user sleeps, the system stockpiles footage that is then played on a vertical display over one meter tall, keeping the image of the lost person present in the house.
The system is a homegrown memorial built from the same parts as the author's music video pipeline. A LoRA trained on dozens of photos feeds Krea 2, which generates new images of the person, and MiniMax H3 turns those into short video clips.
The work runs on machines with RTX 5090 and 4090 GPUs, which are otherwise idle during sleep. The finished videos appear on a vertical display over one meter tall. The name comes from the ocean planet in the film Solaris, and the project arrives 13 years after the author's wife died.
