Apple surprised everyone byannounce the first features of iOS 18even before presentingiOS 18. A series of very interesting developments related to accessibility, especially one of them that surprised us. This functionuses a trick to prevent us from getting dizzy when we use the iPhone in the car"deceiving our eyes."
The name of this function isVehicle Motion Cues or Movement Indicators in vehiclesand Apple claims that it can help reduce the dizziness caused by using the iPhone or iPad while in a moving vehicle. And it does so by deceiving our senses.
Using an iPhone or iPad in a car cancause dizziness due to a "sensory conflict" between what we see and feel. When a car turns our body moves and we feel that movement, but if our eyes are looking at a fixed screen, that does not correlate with what we feel, causing motion sickness. Apple wants to put an end to this feeling with a little trick.
Vehicle Motion Cues is a new experience for iPhone and iPad that can help reduce motion sickness for passengers in moving vehicles. Research shows that motion sickness is commonly caused by a sensory conflict between what a person sees and what they feel, which can prevent some users from comfortably using the iPhone or iPad while riding in a moving vehicle.
