Google adds anti-motion sickness feature to Android phones

Google adds anti-motion sickness feature to Android phones

Google is slowly rolling out a new feature called Motion Assist to help people who get motion sickness when using their phone in a moving vehicle. It works by adding small dots around the screen edges that move with the car, mimicking real-world motion. This helps reduce the sensory mismatch that causes nausea, similar to Apple's Motion Cues feature on iPhones.
