An experimental steam deck plugin that works similarly to an iOS anti-motionsickness feature. Basically it shows dots on the edges of the screen, and moves those dots based on the deck’s internal gyroscope to help your eyes have a movement reference.

The dev is also looking for feedback on how well it works, if you try it out you can submit feedback here or email the dev at astro@n0t.space

This is kinda niche, but it’s the kind of thing that could be a big improvement for people with bad motion sickness issues, so I’m curious if it will work.

    How is this the first time I’ve heard of a feature like this… It’s really cool. This basically seems like technology from VR research determining what makes people motion sick and how to work around it. It makes perfect sense it could apply to other screens as well.

    Edit: I wish there was more info on it… the implementation seems like it’s proprietary and I can’t find any research papers about it. MuteMotion also seems to be a name used by some sign language translation software.
