Finally, some good news for all the princess passengers.
Apple announced This is a new feature that helps prevent motion sickness when using a mobile phone in the car.
Vehicle Motion Cues are part of a suite of new accessibility features coming to both iPhone and iPad later this year.
“Research shows that motion sickness is commonly caused by a sensory discrepancy between what a person sees and what they feel, which causes some users to use their iPhone or “You may not be able to use your iPad comfortably,” Apple said in a news release.
According to the tech giant, this feature allows animated dots to appear at the edges of the screen to represent changes in the vehicle’s movement, helping to reduce sensory conflicts.
So when the vehicle turns left or right, accelerates or stops, the dot will react accordingly and move in a certain direction.
Essentially, the dot tricks your brain into synchronizing your handheld device with your moving environment.
And importantly, the dots are small enough that you don’t have to worry about them interfering with the content you’re watching.
The Vehicle Motion Cue feature allows your device’s built-in sensors to detect when you’re in a moving vehicle, so you can set it to appear automatically on your iPhone or turn it on or off in Control Center. I can.
This update is part of a larger release of accessibility features for Apple devices, including eye tracking, a feature that allows users with disabilities to control their iPhone or iPad with their eyes.
“We believe deeply in the transformative power of innovation to enrich lives,” Apple CEO Tim Cook declared in a release. “We are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology, and these new features reflect our long-standing commitment to providing the best possible experience for all of our users.”
Meanwhile, a feature called Music Haptics makes songs more accessible and offers hearing-impaired users a new way to experience music.
Vocal Shortcuts also lets you assign custom sounds that Siri understands to launch shortcuts to perform tasks.
In addition, “Atypical Speech Hearing” is a feature that allows the device to learn to recognize the user’s voice patterns, enabling a wider range of speech recognition.
