Android’s New Features Have Me Excited, Especially This One for Motion Sickness
The latest additions coming to Android include chat themes, visual assistance in Gemini Live and a motion sickness feature that I can’t wait to try.
Google has recently released its latest batch of Android updates, emphasizing practical improvements over AI-heavy features. Among these updates is a motion sickness feature called Motion Assist, which aims to help users who experience discomfort from staring at their screens while in a moving vehicle. This feature, similar to the one introduced with iOS 18 on iPhones, displays moving dots on the screen that change according to the vehicle's motion.
The dots help bridge the gap between what users see and what they feel, potentially reducing the sensory conflict that leads to car sickness. Motion Assist is available on Android 17 devices and can be set to turn on automatically when in a moving vehicle. Users can also customize the bubbles' appearance and access the feature through Quick Settings on their phones.
