Apple is about to launch a feature to help users reduce motion sickness

Research shows that motion sickness is a phenomenon often caused by a sensory conflict between the images the person sees and feels. This situation may make some users feel uncomfortable when using their iPhone or iPad in a moving vehicle.

Thanks to Apple's newly launched Vehicle Motion Cues feature , floating dots on the edge of the screen representing changes in vehicle movement will help reduce sensory conflicts without affecting the main display content. Using built-in sensors in iPhone and iPad, the Vehicle Motion Cues feature can sense when the user is in a moving vehicle and respond accordingly.

This feature can be set to automatically appear on iPhone, or it can be turned on or off in Control Center.

Vehicle Motion Cues is a new experience for iPhone and iPad that can help passengers in moving vehicles reduce motion sickness.

In addition to Vehicle Motion Cues, Apple also introduced a series of other new features expected to launch as part of the iOS 18 operating system, which is likely to be officially released in September.
