Jack Osbourne stood in the neon glare of the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas to announce that his father is officially immune to the grave. One year after his passing, the Prince of Darkness is being resurrected as a life-sized, AI-powered avatar through a partnership with Proto Hologram and Hyperreal. Sharon Osbourne told the audience that the digital doppelganger would respond exactly as the rocker would, claiming, "You can ask Ozzy anything, and he will answer you in his own voice." This million-dollar interactive experience will appear on touchscreens across the U.S. and U.K. by the end of the summer. David Nussbaum, founder of Proto Hologram, said the technology is advanced enough to "read the room" and maintain eye contact with fans. While some purists have labeled the deal as distasteful, the smart money recognizes this as the ultimate Veblen good: immortality for the elite. Why settle for a legacy when you can have a permanent, multi-lingual revenue stream that never misses a rehearsal? This column views the biological body as a clumsy first draft that the Osbournes have finally edited for the digital age.
