If These Ridic Glasses *Actually* Stop Motion Sickness, Well…Let the Side-Eye Stares Roll Right In

Engineers at the French automobile manufacturer Citroën are responsible for developing a goofy-looking pair that claim to eliminate motion sickness after just minutes of use. And since a promotional video for the accessory notes that one in three people suffers from the condition, which Cleveland Clinic describes as a disruption to your sense of balance and equilibrium, it does sound intriguing. The inner-ear disturbance "happens when your brain receives conflicting messages about motion and your body's position in space. The conflicting messages are delivered from your inner ear, your eyes (what you see), your skin receptors (what you feel), and muscle and joint sensors." So basically, motion sickness spares no comforts.

Still, considering you'd just have to wear them for a measly 10 to 12 minutes to get results, the $116 price tag per pair might just be worth a shot. All you need to do is look at an unmoving object—like your phone—to ward off your symptoms, then you can enjoy the rest of your ride sans spectacles.
