Motion sickness while using a laptop in a moving vehicle occurs due to sensory conflict. When your body feels motion but your eyes focus on a stable laptop screen, the brain receives mixed signals. This confusion can trigger motion sickness symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and headaches.

A solution is to limit laptop use in motion or look out the window periodically. Another innovative approach is using Carsick.app, which helps sync the visuals on your MacBook with the vehicle’s movement, minimizing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
