I just found out this capability is also available on Macbooks! This would have saved me a lot of grief during a recent road trip through some mountains. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-motion-setti...
There is a nice little app that does this on Android available on F-droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.motionsickness
I tried this and it did nothing for me. For a start, the white dots disappear on a white background, so not a good start. The main thing, though, is while it picked up on the vehicle turning it didn't pick up on acceleration much, which is what actually gives me motion sickness.
Changing the color / adding some contrast would be quite a simple change
I have no idea how something like this is ideated, then prototyped, then validated, but it does work wonders for me, and I am so grateful it exists.
Seems pretty straightforward. 1. Be a developer and you (or a spouse/child/friend) get motion sickness when looking at the phone while travelling. 2. We’ve known the mechanisms of motion sickness (looking at something static while your inner ear indicates you’re moving) from before smartphones were a thing. 3.

There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago, where I discovered KineStop which is an app that does the same on Android. I've only tried it a few times but it has worked every time.
Motion sickness person here. iPhone’s stock one doesn’t work for me. Haven’t tried that on Android. Will see if something similar is available on iOS as third party app.
Any reason this doesn’t work in CarPlay?
My Android phone has this too (Vivo). Maybe they all do? It wasn't well explained what it was for though, I discovered it while messing with the settings and thought it was just a cool random feature to visualize motion. I'm just now learning it's for motion sickness.
