Not to downplay these people's problems, but I found this post from 2013 (in a thread discussing these issues in iOS 7) interesting: https://discussions.apple.

"Motion sickness and dizziness are relatively common in the human population and statistics show that some 20% of population is affected. The two major causes are inner ear and/or visual oculor motor system.
People experiencing motion sickness in front of a small screen like a smartphone will also likely have same or bigger symptoms during other life situations: elevators, roofs, boats, reading in a car, watching a movie with a fast moving object, watching kids while they have fun in a carousel, etc. Other related symptoms might be photophobia (excess light sensitivity) causing to use sunglasses even in cloudy days, making a rapid head movement, difficulties in evaluating distances for example while parking a car, etc.
Unfortunately it is not a specific technology, it is the inability of some people to meet the requirements of some environment situations.
I would suggest to investigate with a clinical evaluation by an otorhinolaryngologist (specialized in vestibular disorders) and an optometrist (specialized in vision therapy).
I have seen and treated a huge number of people with motion sickness disorders and the treatment is relatively easy allowing a more enjoyable life not just watching a smartphone screen but also in many other life situations."
- acqq 9y ago> I have seen and treated a huge number of people with motion sickness disorders and the treatment is relatively easy Please write about this (what is the treatment). In my case, I'm not aware of having other problems apart from not being able to watch hand-camera made (intentionally "shaky") series and films. And searching for the switches to turn off the animations in software. Moreover, I don't have problem with 3D movies if the screen refresh rate is high enough. It's also not a regular "motion sickness" as I don't have any problem whatsoever in cars or planes. But I can assure you that the sensation in the cases I've listed (on the screens) really exists. In my case, turning off the UI animations solves the problem. Unless it can't be done.
