- inanutshellus 10y agoJust turn off the windows. Click Voila, no car sickness. ;)
- concede_pluto 10y agoMotion you feel but don't see is the problem. Maybe a translucent display?
- trevyn 10y agoOr an active suspension that cancels out all bumps. This is actually my fantasy for self-driving cars; such a suspension is relatively expensive, but if cars are shared and autonomous, each car can be more costly.
- retsibsi 10y agoIt's not just the bumps, though, it's the acceleration. The car is inevitably going to speed up, slow down, and change direction, and I don't think there's any way of canceling that out. I'm almost certain I couldn't read in even a perfectly-suspended car without feeling sick.
- trevyn 10y agoSure there is, just change the gravity vector; this is how motion simulators work.
- jkaljundi 10y agoActually it's vice versa: you get motion sickness more if there are no outside visual cues on your orientation.
- hengheng 10y agoYou're describing a longstanding fantasy of many heavy Outlook users ...
- tianlins 10y agoWorking in a car seems not a bad idea. We already have G-bus where people can read their emails.
