Dr. Furby was a Mixed Reality game that was made for Project Hybrid at HKU.
The goal of project hybrid was to create a game/experience that bridges the gap between the real world and the digital world.
But our team had another goal. We wanted to make a project that was so weird that it would become infamous at school.
We also wanted to break the 'Magic Circle' thats often talked about within games, by adding real life consequences to our game.

So we made a real life version of the game of Operation.
It has two players; the surgeon and the patient. The patient lays down on a table, under our construction, and places their hand on an electric fly swatter. The surgeon gets instructions from a partially-deconstructed Furby. If the surgeon fails to follow the instructions, they get choked. If the surgeon touches the sides of the operation table, the patient gets shocked.
