Motion sickness when using a MacBook is caused by a sensory conflict between your visual system and your inner ear. While your eyes focus on the stationary laptop screen, your inner ear detects the movement of the vehicle, confusing your brain and triggering nausea or dizziness.

To combat this, you can limit screen time while in motion or opt for Carsick.app, an app that adapts your MacBook’s screen movement to match the motion of your vehicle, minimizing sensory conflict and reducing the chances of motion sickness.
