May 4, 2022 – Apple was granted a patent to combat motion sickness in moving vehicles, specifically autonomous ones like their planned “Apple Car.” Instead of just making the vehicle move smoother to the point of not feeling like it’s moving, Apple is going the route of virtual reality and a headset for passengers to wear.
The idea is that, no matter what you’re facing and what virtual screens you have up, the peripheral environment will match the motion of the vehicle while in motion.
The way Apple’s patent would figure out what to show, how fast, and when would work in conjunction with the sensors of the autonomous vehicle, navigation, and 3D mapping data along with preferences set by each passenger.
