Vehicle Motion Cues: What Is It?
Motion sickness can occur when there’s a mismatch between what we see and what we feel. Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues feature adds animated dots to the screen’s edges to help in this. These dots show how the motion of the car has changed which lessens the discomfort that comes from sensory conflict when using your phone. It determines whether you are in a car by using the sensors that are already installed on your iPhone or iPad. After that, it automatically adjusts to improve your comfort level.
