In today's society it is getting nearly impossible to avoid stressful situations and react properly to them. Where it was once running and fighting for life, it is now standing still and enduring. This often leads to fear and depression which can occur as different stages like loss of interest, bad mood and sleep deprivation. Roughly 7-18% are affected. Women double as often as men. You should do something against it! Visual ASMR is a response that is unclear to many physiologists up to this day, but obvious is, that ASMR does not only give you a pleasurable and relaxing feeling while exposing to it, it can also help with stress management in the future!
Within this project I want to explore, why ASMR is so relaxing and if ASMR can be used against fear and depression. Furthermore, I want to use the found knowledge to prototype a scenario, where ASMR will be used in a psychological/medical institution.

Storyboard Sketches
The first step for me was to start sketching and bringing my ideas to paper. As a basis I had my research that I did in the beginning of the project, thus I could use the new found information to create various scenarios.
Research
For research I used Google Forms, which offered, due to many questions and examples, tons of data. These Informations were very difficult to incorporate in the beginning. As ASMR is not very well studied, I tied to use many open questions that not only increased the scale of this already huge topic, but also provided many new perspectives that in the end turned out to make a difference. I had to narrow the topic and filter valuable information that could be told in a proper manner.
