When I go scuba diving, there is frequently at least one person who gets seasick. Last trip, someone had a pair of these glasses for them to use and they worked, I grabbed some for the future because I'm a sympathetic puker, if I see someone getting sick, so will I. It's an investment in having a better trip.

It just occurred to me that they might work on an airplane too. Has anyone tried them yourself or with passengers? Apparently they work for 90% of people.

They look funny. The rings contain liquid which moves with motion and creates an artificial horizon in your peripheral vision to help your brain make sense of the motion. The glasses were invented about 25 years ago, but I guess they're just starting to be more popular?

I have not tried them but I had a pair of X-Ray glasses, I purchased from an ad in the back pages of a 1968 copy of FIeld and Stream (6-8 weeks for delivery), that supposedly allowed one to see through women's clothing. Mine seem to be defective, though. :biggrin:
 

Get the one with the carry case. Videos are hilarious. While I don't suffer from motion sickness, my sister suffers from seasickness. I'd love to know if they actually work or only look cool.

I collected bottles to return for deposit for 3 months to get mine. They were defective as well. Musta been the fault of the delivery method...
 
They will double as birth control devices.
Whuff.

Did you not also buy the Sea Monkeys?? Or "Raise Chinchillas for Fun and Profit!" or get you a package of Mexican Jumping Beans? Maybe join the Charles Atlas Program or buy some Kryptonite rocks?
(See, we had scams back before the internet lol)
 
I know they look funny, but I have seen them work 2 out of 2 times. Small sample size

I rarely carry passengers, hoping someone else can give feedback.

Have you tried them at a Walmart recently?
 
If you want something that really works, and doesn't require you to imitate Mr. Magoo, try this.

iPhones have "vehicle motion cues," which do the same thing, but display it on the screen.

Use iPhone more comfortably while riding in a vehicle

You can get onscreen cues that may help reduce motion sickness while using iPhone in an on-road moving vehicle.

When I ride a bus through the mountains, it helps a little, but it's best to just look out the window.
