New Technology Solution To Motion Sickness
Friday, 19. July 2019
Over 30 million people in Europe are reported to suffer from kinetosis or motion sickness. According to Citroen one in three people will suffer from this condition at least once in their life in a car, bus, boat or plane. So Citroen have come up with a solution.
Together with a French start up company they have devised a pair of strange looking glasses that solve the problem. Initially developed for sea travel, Seetroën glasses use Boarding Ring™ technology. This patented and tested paramedical solution has an efficacy rating of 95%.
Equipped with moving liquid in the rings around the eyes, both along the frontal axis (right/left) and sagittal axis (front/back), the glasses recreate the horizon line to resolve the conflict between the senses that cause motion sickness.
For the design of the glasses, Citroën called on 5.5, a collective design studio based in Paris, which has incorporated the Brand’s fresh, simple and ergonomic style. The result is a pair of glasses with a high-tech look in white soft-touch plastic.
Seetroën glasses can be used by adults and children aged over ten (when the inner ear has finished growing). The glasses are glassless, so they can be shared by all the family and travelling companions. They can also be worn over other glasses.
The instructions from Citroen are as follows:
Seetroën glasses can be used in cars, as well as on buses, trains and planes. Put on the glasses as soon as you experience the initial symptoms.
After 10 to 12 minutes, the glasses allow the mind to resynchronise with the movement perceived by the inner ear while the eyes were focused on an immobile object such as a smartphone or a book.
Take the Seetroën glasses off and enjoy the rest of your journey. The cost is 99 Euros or about £88.40. Go to www.lifestyle.citroen.com By Graham Hill
