As previously reported, the family of the late Ozzy Osbourne recently licensed his likeness for a new A.I. avatar created by HYPERREAL. Now, during a recent interview with Blabbermouth, the company’s CEO Remington Scott revealed that the digitized frontman will be displayed through Proto Luma “holoportation” devices in the U.K. and U.S. this summer.
Scott said the following:
“Every element of this avatar was built exclusively from authenticated, approved source material: curated, consented, and controlled by the people who love him most. This is a living performance, not a rendering; and it draws from nothing that wasn’t given willingly. We have the enthusiastic participation of Ozzy‘s family, and that changes everything about what this can be.”
Proto Hologram founder David Nussbaum added:
“It’s an honor to be trusted to bring one of true gods of rock back to the world to continue to connect with fans — thank you, Sharon and Jack! We wouldn’t do it if we didn’t know both of our company’s technologies will create an experience that truly extends Ozzy’s presence, his heart and soul, into the future.”
Sharon Osbourne also commented:
“The things that you can do with that are just endless.”
