A comment on A naked skydive inspired a way to keep pilots oriented in flight. Parent comment
Disney World has a ride ( I think called Mission Space ? ) that spins you in an enclosed space to imitate acceleration in space flight
Lots of motion sickness warnings on that ride and there are two key mitigations in each seat:
1. A “cockpit window” lcd screen showing a POV video that tracks with the acceleration
2. A powerful fan impelling air at your face
Looking away from the screen, even for a moment, can cause immense nausea and iirc is advised against on the ride
Neat!
