For one of my interaction classes I was assigned the task of recreating a Furby as a prototype. It is supposed to be a low fidelity prototype, meaning either a paper prototype or something using the Wizard of Oz method (i.e., a big glowing head that is supposed to be the product but is actually faked by a tiny dude behind a curtain pulling some levers).
The prototype needs to retain and express the qualities of the original so it is recognizable to someone who is familiar with the original product or it imparts a similar experience to someone who isn't familiar.
What I've done is taken an old pikachu doll, duct-taped it up so that it is Furby size (Pikachu was too fat), pasted on fake eyes and mouth parts and I'm using super janky, low-fi sticks and paper to mimic moving eyelids and beak parts. I still have yet to complete the external covering but I seem to have gotten the pre-basic mechanics to work. (I say pre-basic because I have little to no current experience working in three dimensions. I took 2 semesters of advanced calculus and a semester of programming (for scientists) to avoid taking physics in undergrad.) I also have to create a presentation and diagram of the interactions in the next 24 hours. Ack, the work!
