Apple has recently introduced a new feature in their products to combat motion sickness. The company’s research has shown that displaying moving dots on the screen, which correspond to the direction of travel, can help maintain a sense of direction even when the body is stationary. This innovation is especially useful for children whose developing brains may struggle to process conflicting information about movement and location.
When conflicting signals are sent to the brain, such as when we are in a moving vehicle but focused on a stationary object, it can result in feelings of nausea and vomiting. This phenomenon is common in both adults and children. However, children’s brains are still developing and may struggle to process conflicting information about movement and location.
To reduce feelings of nausea while traveling as a passenger, it is recommended to look outside the vehicle, avoid traveling on an empty stomach, and drive smoothly without sudden stops. Opening a window for fresh air, taking breaks for refreshment, and using anti-nausea medication in severe cases can also help alleviate symptoms of motion sickness. By following these tips, passengers can make their travels more comfortable and less nauseating.
