Good Vibrations: Hacking Motion Sickness on the Cheap

Presented at DEF CON 17 (2009), Aug. 2, 2009, noon (50 minutes)

Motion sickness has been an issue since man learned how to travel by means other than by foot, with the earliest recorded cases dating back to ancient Greece. Although the problem has existed for such a long time, there has been no documented case of a cure for all forms and severities of motion sickness and the most common way to relieve people of the symptoms that go along with motion sickness involve taking drugs. In this presentation, Tottenkoph will give an overview of what causes motion sickness as well as introduce a set of devices that will help lessen the severity of the symptoms that can be made easily.
