> 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.
Seems like there's a few android equivalents: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.panshen.mo... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid... 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.
(The reason the permission is so dangerous is they can trick you into pressing the wrong button by relabeling dangerous text with innocuous text.)
Never knew this feature existed! I’ve gotten this type of motion sickness my whole life, so I’m excited to try it out. It would be nice if it’s effective for me. I get the same type of nausea described by the author. I can’t read a book or look at a screen for too long without a feeling awful. I can also get it just from sitting in a rear passenger seat, especially if vehicle has poor visibility, and even worse with…
I just don’t use the phone when a passenger in a car.
If it works for you and doesn’t bother you as much as me, go for it! I wouldn’t be surprised that it works.
Do they have a boat version of this? I get car sick easily but on open water I have to sit and watch the horizon or it's adios cookies.
I don’t think it’s actually driving specific, I think it just is based on the accelerometer. So it might work.
Very useful feature for anyone. Probably the lesser known feature because it’s under Accessibility. It should be a frontline feature to toggle on or off from the command center. It’s there once it’s enabled, but should be there by default.
As for this feature, I found out about it and turned it on, but I don't think it helped me much with reading off the screen while in a car.
It's interesting how many kinds of motion sickness there are. I have no problem reading in trains, or sitting in a car and looking ahead or through the window. But I can't read in a car, even with these dots.
Wait can I use it for rollercoasters?
You 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…
> It's why looking at the horizon on a boat helps. 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
But I used to get sick playing Quake, so maybe I'm in the 11 group.
