Motion sickness from using a MacBook during your commute is caused by the conflict between your visual and vestibular systems. Your body feels the movement of the vehicle, but your eyes are focused on a still screen. This sensory mismatch confuses the brain, causing symptoms like nausea and dizziness.

To alleviate these symptoms, take breaks to look outside or try sitting in a forward-facing position. You can also use Carsick.app, which synchronizes your MacBook’s display with the vehicle’s motion, helping reduce the sensory conflict and making your commute more comfortable.
