The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 per cent of the population who own smartphones or tablets, leads to feelings of nausea and unsteadiness.

It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen and covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.

The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed addressing.
《纽约时报》的一篇文章报道了这种症状.英美专家在文章中称,这个问题需要着手解决.
Cyriel Diels, a cognitive psychologist and human factors researcher at Coventry University's centre for Mobility and Transport, said: 'It's a fundamental problem that's kind of been swept under the carpet in the tech industry.
认知心理学家、考文垂大学移动运输中心的人为因素研究员西里尔·蒂尔斯表示："对弊端置之不理算得上是科技产业一个最根本的问题了."
'It's a natural response to an unnatural environment.'
"这是对非自然环境作出的自然反应."
Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it.
