Apple Unveils Groundbreaking Feature to Combat Motion Sickness

TLDR: Apple introduces Vehicle Motion Cues feature to combat motion sickness while using iPhone or iPad in a moving vehicle, along with other accessibility updates.

Apple is set to change the way you use your phone in the car with their latest innovation: Vehicle Motion Cues. This cutting-edge feature is part of a suite of new accessibility features coming to iPhones and iPads later this year.

Say goodbye to motion sickness!

Vehicle Motion Cues tackles the common problem of sensory conflict between what you see and feel while using your device in a moving vehicle. Apple’s research shows that this conflict can prevent users from comfortably using their iPhone or iPad on the go.

How does it work?

1. Animated dots appear on the edges of the screen
2. Dots represent changes in vehicle motion
3. Dots move in response to the vehicle turning, accelerating, or braking
4. The brain is tricked into synchronizing the device and the moving environment

Worry not about the dots interfering with your content – they are small enough to go unnoticed.

Automatic or manual?

• iPhone’s built-in sensors can detect when you’re in a moving vehicle and automatically activate the feature
• Alternatively, you can turn it on and off in Control Center

More Accessibility Features

Apple’s commitment to delivering the best possible experience to all users is evident in the other accessibility features included in this release:

• Eye Tracking: Allows users with physical disabilities to control their device with their eyes
• Music Haptics: Gives users who are deaf or hard of hearing a new way to experience music
• Vocal Shortcuts: Assign custom sounds for Siri to understand and perform tasks
• Listen for Atypical Speech: Device learns to recognize user speech patterns for wider speech recognition

Tim Cook, Apple CEO, believes deeply in the transformative power of innovation to enrich lives. These new features reflect Apple’s long-standing commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology.
