| contents | Watching Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos is a popular approach to support mental well-being, as the triggered ASMR tingling sensation supports de-stressing and regulating emotions. Therefore, there is increasing research on how to efficiently trigger ASMR tingling sensation. Tactile sensation remains unexplored because current popular ASMR approaches focus on the visual and audio channels. In this study, we explored the impact of tactile feedback on triggering ASMR tingling sensation in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. Through two experimental studies, we investigated the relaxation effect of a tactile-enabled ASMR experience, as well as the impact of vibrotactile triggers on the ASMR experience. Our results showed that vibrotactile feedback is effective in increasing the likelihood of ASMR tingling sensation and enhancing the feeling of comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment. |
