Abstract
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation that can be aroused by visual, sound, touch and emotional triggers, and can produce feelings of relaxation and euphoria. Light trigger is a new kind of visual trigger that has been gaining popularity in YouTube ASMR videos, and we analyzed this to draw design considerations. From there, we propose asmVR, a VR-based method to experience ASMR using light triggers. The ASMRtist can create the content using hand-tracked light triggers while roleplaying a virtual avatar, while viewers can experience an immersive and intimate relation with them to help trigger ASMR. We also propose a user study plan in the future to evaluate its effectiveness in inducing ASMR, as well as propose future development plans.
