ASMR and SL
2014-08-04 00:00:00 -0400 🟦 Jessica Pixel / liftedpixel.netWhile sitting in the Designing Worlds studio and watching the show this week, I was almost overwhelmed by the buzzing in my head. The feeling is not new. I seem to get it often when I'm enjoying something passively like watching choreographed performances, watching my avatar do certain animations, or watching SL television shows. I thought to Google it today and it turns out there is a term for that feeling. It's called 'autonomous sensory meridian response' and for me it feels like a pleasant static in the middle of my skull that moves into my shoulders close to my neck. I wonder how many other SL users experience this feeling and didn't realize it has a name.
