And even one that claims to work with sound: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.a1... EDIT: Actually there's an enormous number of apps like this, many released very recently with similar style etc. Weird.
Be careful with these apps. The permissions they ask for are quite expansive.

#34You might ask why motion sickness even exists in the first place. Why do nausea and vomiting make sense when your body is in a car or on a boat? Nobody knows for sure, but there's a convincing theory. Zillions of years ago, we were foragers. We ate what we found. And if we ate something bad, like a poisonous berry, we could die. One of the first symptoms of neurotoxin ingestion is that your eyes lose their tracking a…
> And it's why reading in the car gets some people so horribly sick.
As a kid, I was told to turn 90° so that the back and forth of my eyes reading were in line with the motion of the car. This was soooo before any kind of electronic devices. Hell, the radio in the car still had the giant push buttons for saving stations.

#35Has worked very well for my wife who notably couldn’t look at her phone for even a few seconds without feeling ill
My ex-wifey could sit and read for hours. She'd be all "Oh, are we here already?" no matter how badly I drove.

#36> to reduce or, in my case, even eliminate the motion sickness felt when trying to use an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook inside a moving vehicle. Does it also help people who get carsick without looking at a screen? I get carsick in pretty much any modern car, unless I'm the one driving.
Um, no. What a strange question to post publicly

#37I'll have to try this out. I've gotten motion sickness while using a phone in the car and I swear it continued to affect me for weeks.

#38Weird, I get extra car sick when I use those. The only way I can consistently not be sick is when I drive.

Yes it helps. As in getting you back to "barely normal". (Also you can't do anything around the boat because you're looking at the horizon)
The theory make sense but some people have the thing turned to 11

Let me add: I wonder if that's the reason the sight of puke immediately makes me want to vomit too. If you're in a group of people you probably all ate the same stuff. Better to vomit as soon as the first start to feel sick than wait for your turn- it might be too late then.
