If this works, it would be absolutely wonderful. I can't look at a phones screen longer than 5 seconds before I'm getting motion sickness in a moving car.
It sounds like it should work to me.
As an example, as a kid I couldn't play first person video games until game developers worked out they need something in a fixed position taking over a significant portion of the screen (for example, a steering wheel in a car or the gun you're holding in a shooter).
Turn those fixed overlays off, and after just playing for a few seconds I'll be sick the rest of the day. If anything I'm even more sensitive now than when I was a kid - but with the right overlays I'm all good.
I'd bet Apple did a lot of research into motion sickness while developing the Vision Pro headset. Good to see some of that coming to other products.
This is no exaggeration. When I go for long periods without riding any car, the first few times I can't do much more than glancing at my phone without getting nauseated.
Hopefully it’s optional
Edit: It is
heh, just adding dots to everyone’s screens by default. Sounds logical.
That's really cool if it will work.
