French car maker CitroEn recently released a pair of glassless, liquid- flleld eyeglasses that can reportedly treat the symptoms of motion sickness.

Called Seetroen, the eyeglasses use Boarding Ring technology, which was created by a French start-up of the same name, to treat motion sickness in just a few minutes. According to the oficial press release, after being worn for 10 to 12 minutes, the glasses enable the mind to resynchronise(重新同步) with the movement perceived by the inner ear while the eyes focus on an immobile object such as a smartphone or a book and the wearer can just take them off and enjoy the rest of the journey.

Motion sickness occurs when our brain perceives conflicting reports about perceived motion from the eyes and the inner ear. It's usually not a problem when a person is looking out of the window because then both organs perceive motion similarly, but when you're looking down at a phone or a book, the eyes don't perceive the motion the same way, and the reports sent to your brain contradict those from the inner ear, and the confusion results in motion sickness.

So how do Setroen cure the annoying condition that has been plaguing mankind for centuries Well, the secret is literally in those plastic frames. That blue liquid in the rings around the eyes recreate the horizon line to resolve the conflict between the signals sent to the brain by the eyes and inner ear so that the movement detected by the eyes matches that detected by the inner ear. Since Seetroen glasses are actually glassless, they can be worn by anyone, even over actual eyeglasses. You only need to wear them for 10 to 12 minutes to make the symptoms of motion sickness go away.
