Android 17 представит функцию Motion Cues для снижения укачивания

"...Many people avoid using their Android phones in moving vehicles due to motion sickness, a condition that can induce nausea, headaches, and dizziness...."

"...Since people spend so much time as passengers, it’s a bummer that many can’t use their phones without feeling sick...."

"...This simple yet incredibly useful trick effectively 'moves' the screen with you, potentially solving motion sickness for many users...."

"...If this feature sounds familiar, it’s because Google isn’t the pioneer here...."

"...While Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues in iOS 18 might be better known, a free Android app implemented this idea back in 2018...."

"...Available for any phone running Android 7.0 or later, KineStop simply requires you to download it, grant the 'display over other apps' permission, and tap start...."

"...Why, then, must Google’s version wait for next year’s Android 17 update?..."

"...It is a question we’ve grappled with since discovering evidence of Motion Cues in late 2024...."

"...However, it has a flaw that likely explains why Google is holding off on releasing it until a future OS release...."

"...While this is a sensible security limitation, it reduces the effectiveness of Motion Cues...."

"...This dual-layer architecture bypasses the limitations of the overlay API, but because it relies on a new system API, it requires an OS upgrade...."

"...This would explain why Google hasn’t released the feature yet...."

"...Depending on Google’s roadmap, we could see this feature roll out in the third quarterly release of Android 16 or, more likely, in Android 17...."

"...While we don’t know Google’s plans for this feature, I’m personally betting on an Android 17 debut...."

"...Hopefully, Google releases a version of this feature that’s compatible with existing devices...."

"...Despite the limitations with the overlay API, many would still find the current implementation useful...."

"...If Google doesn’t release the feature as is, though, users can always turn to KineStop as a reliable alternative...."

"...When Google eventually launches the feature, it might debut as 'Motion Assist' rather than 'Motion Cues' to avoid accusations of copying Apple...."

"...Regardless of the name, we hope Google integrates it with the upcoming Transiting mode, which is designed to automate device settings for smoother commutes...."

"...Ideally, Transiting mode would trigger Motion Assist automatically, though the feature’s built-in vehicle detection might make that unnecessary...."
