Vehicle Motion Cues

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.

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.

		It works great on Macbook. I don't know why they don't suggest it to folks when car or train movement is detected! I have a feeling a lot of people don't know it exists. I wish my Pixel 9 had it but I guess it hasn't trickled down yet. I think it's in the latest Android on latest Pixel devices though.

There is a nice little app that does this on Android available on F-droid:

This has been reposted here several times in the last few weeks, but it is a very neat feature. I find myself getting quite motion sick on the bus if I look at my phone, but these dots help me at least check messages here and there without immediately feeling like I'm going to throw up.

This is an easy enable with "Automatic Detection". Are there any other phone "Accessibility" options that are useful to everyone?

		Under "Display & Text Size": "on/off labels" and "increase contrast". "Reduce transparency" is a bit of a mixed bag but is worth trying out. Under "Audio & Visual", "background sounds" is a built-in 'white noise' generator and can be useful for relaxing / sleeping. You wouldn't want to leave it on all the time, of course. Under "Touch": "Back Touch" lets you map a double/triple tap on the back of the phone to various actions. There's a lot of other neat features in iOS Accessibility (eye-tracking control! automatic captions! sound recognition!) and I'd encourage you to poke around to see what's available.

One of the best and most clever "hidden" features. Very Apple.

I never get nauseous looking at my phone in an Uber anymore. My wife can barely handle looking at a screen in a car and this feature allows her to work with no issue.

Works surprisingly well, had a super sensitive passenger in the car the other day and zero signs of nausea.
