This study examines the feasibility of incorporating visual cueing systems within vehicles to mitigate the risk of motion sickness. The question is to enhance passenger awareness and the ability to anticipate the forces associated with car travel motion. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, the findings demonstrate that visual cues can mitigate motion sickness for particular in-vehicle configurations, but their influence on situational awareness is not significant. Each type of visual cue proved more effective when presented in the peripheral field of view rather than solely in the central vision. Promising applications can be found within interactive screens and ambient lighting, while the use of extended reality shows potential for future investigations. Integrating such systems into highly automated vehicles has the potential to improve their overall user acceptance.

This study focuses on the integration of visual cues in cars to alleviate motion sickness. This study provides an overview of visual cueing strategies and different types of systems for display. The findings suggest that incorporating visual cues in highly automated vehicles can reduce motion sickness. Recommendations are provided for the design and integration of these displays in car interiors.
