Meta/Apple A new study on virtual reality comfort suggests that some of the best VR headsets have a feature that can help prevent motion sickness. Also known as simulator sickness, the problem is due to a mismatch between what you see in a head-mounted display (HMD) and what your body feels in reality. It’s well known that gamers prefer higher frames per second (fps) to be able to react more quickly and aim with greater accuracy. According to a recent study, though, a faster refresh rate can also reduce the chances…

Apple Vision Pro can cause motion sickness like any mixed-reality or VR headset. That’s why it’s worth having a good understanding of what you can do to prevent motion sickness when using Apple’s spatial computer and combat the feeling should you feel nauseous while using the headset.Apple Vision Pro unlocks the possibilities of spatial computing, allowing you to immerse yourself in technology in ways we could only ever dream of in the past. Vision Pro is a seriously capable device with the ability to mirror your Mac’s…

New research indicates that air filtration technologies, like germicidal lights and ionizers, do not effectively reduce the risk of viral infections in real-world environments, challenging the perceived benefits of these costly systems in public health settings.Air filtration systems are not effective in lowering the risk of viral infections, as revealed by recent research from the University of East Anglia.A new study highlights that technologies aimed at enhancing safety during social interactions indoors may not be…

Researchers have discovered that the hormone GDF15, produced by the fetus, causes pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. The severity is influenced by the mother’s prior exposure to this hormone. This insight offers a potential preventive approach and underscores the need for better treatment and awareness of pregnancy sickness, especially in its severe form, hyperemesis gravidarum. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA study reveals that the hormone GDF15, produced by the fetus, is responsible for pregnancy sickness, paving the way…

Sickness in pregnancy, or hyperemesis gravidarum, is common and is thought to affect seven out of ten women at some time in their pregnancy. But, until recently, very little has been known about why it happens.New research by our team has identified sensitivity to a hormone made in abundance by the developing pregnancy, GDF15, as a contributor to the risk of pregnancy sickness.This condition can affect pregnant women's quality of life, even in so-called mild cases. Between 1% and 3% of women suffer from a severe form of…

Ever since humanity started, women have endured inexplicable menstrual pains, debilitating migraines, and other hormonal conditions that have been normalized in our society.In more recent times, many of these conditions have been explained, but one uncomfortable state has remained a mystery: morning sickness.But today we have good news, as we can now finally explain the nausea and vomiting roughly 70% of people experience during pregnancy.According to a study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday (December 13),…

As we wait for Apple to release its Vision Pro spatial computer, we’ve been learning more about it. In a recent BBC interview (via AppleInsider) with David Reid, professor of AI and spatial computing at Liverpool Hope University, he explained how Apple Vision Pro could help prevent motion sickness, unlike other similar devices. It’s fair to say that one of the most common issues with VR headsets is motion sickness. For example, I have tried many headsets over the past few years, the last one being HoloLens 2,…

Obstetrics researcher Marlena Fejzo knows a thing or two about nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.As she endured sickening nausea in her second pregnancy, unable to keep any food down and feeling too weak to stand, doctors told Fejzo her illness was all in her head.In a way, it was… just not how they so callously meant.Fejzo leads a team of researchers that now, after decades of research, has singled out one hormone which acts on the brain to cause vomiting as the likely cause of morning sickness – and added a stack of new…

It starts with an innocent bite from a tsetse fly – an all too common occurrence in sub-Saharan Africa.Before a person knows it, tiny microscopic parasites known as Trypanosoma are swimming in their bloodstream, playing "hide and seek" with their immune system.For months, or even years, these ribbon-like unicellular free-riders produce few to no symptoms, quietly preparing themselves to conquer the body's 'boss'.When the parasites finally invade the brain, they nestle in neural tissue and trigger a whole host of…
