Designing for Filterred ASMR Experience
What is ASMR
ASMR is often triggered by exposure to specific audio and video. Such media may be specially made with the specific purpose of triggering ASMR or created for other purposes and later discovered to be effective as a trigger of the experience.
It is a sensory experience and different audiences have different experiences when triggering ASMR. With a same content, some people feel exciting, some get uncomfortable, while others experience relaxation and pleasure.

Interview
“I love ASMR videos, but only sounds can help me sleep. For that, I’d change to certain apps. When I need relaxing, I hate hearing talking, but it’s hard to check what I will listen to.”
“I can only judge the content from its title and cover, but the information is limited. Most of time I have to waste time sliding into the middle to check what it is exactly showing.”
--Liu
“There is no category for contents only raking in popularity of streamers where I always passively accept the top list. I can’t tell the app that I would like more natural sounds, and that I feels uncomfortable about scratching sounds.”
--Wang
Problem
1.Before ASMR contents choosing：Everyone has their likings and dislikings, but users can‘t tell their preference, so they easily have unhappy experiences.
2.During choosing：The routine for user to choose their taste is unclear or missing, so users waste times or passively get their contents.
3.During playing：After choosing a content, users hardly have the ability to check its contents and hardly jump into specific places.
Solutions
Users can tell their tastes to the app, which can make the recommended contents more satisfied.
Users can make the routine for getting their content quickly and satisfyingly by a comfortable category system.
For each content, users can know its specific segment from tags and jump over them by these tags.
Designed Screens
1.Prefenence
Users can choose the degree of liking and dislike according to the time when they press the tag buttom, and they can switch the like/dislike mode.
When swithing to another mode, the previous chosen would fade. And the rest would be same except for two colors representing liking/disliking.
2.Category
Users can open adjustment board to add, place and remove tags.
When tags are in different state, its background color and type color would change
3.Playing
Users can open operation aborad to manage jumping tags: like, dislike, collect.
Beside, they can get the summary and jump over by tags.
Apple Watch
Wang usually listens to ASMR leaving aside his phone and do other things in the same time. When encountering some unliked or very liked content, he wants to manage this content immediately while the phone sometimes can not be found. In this way, he want the apple watch may have the synchro function to manage ASMR contents that he is listening to.
