@drsermedmezherexplains: “Phone + Car = Nausea” #wait Using a phone in a moving car can often lead to motion sickness, a condition that arises when your brain receives mixed signals from your senses. When you’re in a car, your inner ear detects movement as the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, and turns. However, when you focus on your phone—reading, texting, or scrolling—your eyes are fixated on a stationary object that doesn't reflect this motion. This disconnect between what your eyes see and what your inner ear senses can confuse your brain, triggering symptoms of motion sickness. These symptoms can include nausea, dizziness, sweating, and a general feeling of discomfort. The smaller screen and close-up focus required when using a phone can intensify these effects, as your visual field is limited, making it harder for your brain to reconcile the motion it’s experiencing. For some people, this sensory conflict is enough to cause significant motion sickness, making it difficult to use phones or other devices while in a moving vehicle. Taking breaks, looking out the window, or keeping your head still can help alleviate these symptoms by allowing your senses to align better with the motion around you. #car #nausea #sick #apple

Joshua Mendez :
I get parallax confusion when a car backs out of a parking space next to me. My brain processes it as me moving forward.

Would this work even if you get motion sickness without looking at your phone? I get motion sickness both in the passenger seat and driver seat either driving or doing nothing
