Two digital companies, Hyperreal and Proto Hologram, announced they were working on the technology.<\/p>\n
The avatar would be able to perform, have conversations with fans and move, speak, and respond as Ozzy would, they said.<\/p>\n
It will appear in America and the UK by the end of the summer and Sharon Osbourne said she hoped it would appear in Birmingham first.<\/p>\n
The avatar could do “absolutely everything” and she believed it could appear in concerts, films or adverts.<\/p>\n
“You can ask him anything you want and he will talk to you.”<\/p>\n
In a YouTube video, Jack Osbourne said the avatar was going to be “tasteful”.<\/p>\n
He also revealed: “It’s something that I think my dad would be into because we actually talked about it before he passed about doing something like this.”<\/p>\n
It has not yet been made clear how the avatar would be used, but he said it could be used as part of an exhibition or similar. <\/p>\n
“This is some high-level technology that we’re going to be working with and it’s going to feel very real and it’s kind of wild how it will be utilised,” he said.<\/p>\n
Since the death of the former Black Sabbath singer, Sharon Osbourne said her family had found a lot of comfort in the support they had received from fans around the world.<\/p>\n
“Grief is a very weird thing and I truly believe it never leaves you, you just have to learn to live with it.”<\/p>\n
“It’s been incredible the outpouring of love for Ozzy.”<\/p>\n
She also said Aston Villa’s victory in the Europa League final has been “so joyous” for Birmingham.<\/p>\n
“It’s what everyone needed it unites everybody,” she said.<\/p>\n
“It’s relieving to talk about something where you’re a winner.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two digital companies, Hyperreal and Proto Hologram, announced they were working on the technology.
