Apple has implemented this to the iphone and -assuming it works- is cool.
It would be nice to have something similar to SFOS

This is working for me:
Putting an earplug in one ear can potentially help with motion sickness, particularly when the motion is felt more in one ear than the other, such as when on a boat or airplane. This is because motion sickness is often caused by conflicting signals received by the brain from the eyes, inner ear, and other sensory receptors.
The inner ear, or vestibular system, maintains balance and spatial orientation. Therefore, a mismatch between the signals received by the inner ear and the visual signals received by the eyes can lead to motion sickness. Placing an earplug in one ear can help reduce this mismatch by decreasing the amount of sensory input received by that ear.
However, it’s important to note that the effectiveness of this technique can vary from person to person, and it may not work for everyone.

Interesting tech.
My preferred method is stimulating the P6 acupressure points.

this is a really cool, would be totally sick if it works (or rather not sick)
I heard if you put a fly image in the center it will help with reducing piss spilage (Urinal target - Wikipedia), wonder if gyro-based fly can help with car-sickness too, should be easy to implement taking any app with overlay (screenshot from coderus?) and adding gyro movement
It does. I tested it when it came out for me and friends who occasionally would get motion sickness in some routes and it worked like a charm.

im gonna pretend that i’m not worried that you either have urinals in your car or you are peeing on your phone.
…so, yea, an overlay like screenshot app would solve most of the ui boilerplate. as long as we have high quality fast accel sensor reads, this should be do-able on SFOS.

I can’t stop you from trying to piss in the middle of the phone, but gyro accel is even available from qml so one could ‘nano’ it while suffering from car nausea

I guess resolution or sensor accuracy isn’t even that important, if you do some interpolation ad fancy accel/deceleration on the dot movements.
You don’t want them to wiggle and jump around anyway.
I wonder with all the transparency stuff we have in SFOS, if instead of a dotted overlay, some movements in the app wallpaper (i.e. blurred background image) would do the trick as well.
That could be done as a hacked Silica component and not require an overlay layer.
Or, with the Background (unstable) feature of Silica, it could maybe be done without modifying any system stuff at all.
The world’s problems with urinal splatter would be improved if people/men were taught one very simple law of optics.
Urinal designers too, who continue to make stupid shapes with planar surfaces.
If only there were a shape that directed the splatter to the inside instead of everywhere else!! Madness, I know.

Can confirm via the GF who, though less often these days, used a similar method vis. the ears (wax blob, not ear plug, but same diff).
