A smooth solid rolls across the floor and every turn makes a sound. A quiet toy for winding down — best with headphones.
What it is
Oloid: ASMR is a calm audio-visual toy. A smooth solid, an oloid or a sphericon, rolls across a floor and the sound it makes is generated live from how it moves: faster, slower, nearer, farther. There are no levels, no score and no timers pushing you. Just the sound of something rolling, to help you unwind or fall asleep.
How to use it
Features
Binaural audio: you hear the solid pass from side to side, closer and farther away. Best with headphones.
Metal, glass, wood, brass, ceramic, stone, rubber, crystal, bowl, jade, aluminium and bamboo. Each has its own voice.
Wood, marble, ice, sand, steel plate and concrete. Each floor changes the sound and the sky above it.
Let it roll by itself. Set the top speed, add Interval to vary the pace, and choose a 10, 20 or 30 minute session.
Darkens the screen almost to black for falling asleep. Double-tap to wake it, so a stray touch does nothing.
The oloid and the sphericon: two curious solids that roll unlike anything else.
