Citroën, the french car manufacturer, is releasing special glasses that help to prevent motion sickness. Though motion sickness was always a problem for some, since the introduction of smartphones and tablets the condition has been affecting more people as more of us look at screens while being chauffeured around.
The so-called “SEETROËN” glasses are actually developed by Boarding Ring, a French firm. The glasses have a blue liquid that can flow in front and around the eyes. The liquid stays horizontal with the ground, regardless of how the vehicle moves, and so provides a sort-of stability to the eyes and the brain.
The glasses are similar in functionality to look at the horizon when experiencing motion sickness on a boat. The stability of the horizon provides a reference point for our brains to lock-in on, alleviating the confusion that different senses create when they’re sending seemingly incompatible information.
