Space sickness is repeatedly a big issue for astronaut. NASA has developed a goggles that simulate a strobe-lighting effect by freezing images on the retina that could prevent the nauseating effects of space sickness. After some conduct experiments, the outcomes are absolutely satisfying. These two lucky test subjects are seen catching a ride on the infamous “vomit comet.” Info after the break.

These glasses are made of LCD “shutters” that switch from dark to clear very quickly, providing a strobe effect. The LCD shutters allowed four 10-millisecond “flashes” of light to come through each second. The subjects using the glasses were able to endure simulated motion sickness for the entire 30-minute duration of the study – those without the goggles lasted only 24 minutes on average.
