They revealed that this move aims to preserve Osbourne’s legacy.“You can ask Ozzy anything, and he’ll answer you with his voice — and the answers will be what Ozzy would say,” Sharon revealed during the event, noting that the hologram will be able to use Osbourne’s actual voice and personality to answer fan questions in real time.The hologram won’t be located in just one place, as the family plans to create it all over the world. Sharon added during the event: “We’re going to take it around the world. People can talk to him, and he’ll respond.”The project is being developed by two tech giants, who will use the legend’s voice, image and movement to bring an AI-powered hologram to life.
