Many commuters experience motion sickness when working on their laptops, primarily due to the disconnect between what their eyes see and what their body feels. The vehicle’s movement conflicts with the stable images on the screen, leading to discomfort, nausea, or dizziness.

One way to alleviate this issue is to take breaks from your screen and focus on the horizon to help your brain reconcile these mixed signals. You can also try Carsick.app, which adjusts the visual patterns on your MacBook to move in sync with the vehicle’s motion, reducing the likelihood of motion sickness.
