ABSTRACT
With today’s busy smartphone-based lifestyles and with the increase in the number of autonomous vehicles, there is a need for passengers to be able to perform tasks during their commute. However, motion sickness is elevated when passengers look at screens while performing tasks such as reading, messaging, or navigating while in moving vehicles. To address this problem, we created an interface that adjusts its orientation in real-time to match the direction of the vehicle to help reduce passenger motion sickness while looking at digital device screens. We explain the concept of our design, system architecture, and the signal processing implementations for our prototype. We also gather key insights based on user testing that inform the design improvements made to the prototype.
