Technically I think the law regarding a picture of a dead person is a grey area. It’s not copyrighted per se but if linked to a trade mark can be inferred to be copyrighted. A face can become IP, for example The KFC logo, there are others too.
I can’t see anyone having an issue with it, I’m sure Mr Hawking would find it pleasing. But a simple letter to the estate of any proposed recipient of a hologram would be easy enough, a reply could indicate a yes or a no, and no reply would have to indicate a no.
I do hope they do this. It’s far easier to do than space legs after all
