«Breaking News» Could these £89 glasses cure your child's car sickness?

They might look like part of a clown’s disguise, but these ‘glasses’ could cure children of one of the great scourges of family holidays – travel sickness.

Produced by French car-maker Citroen, the £89 spectacles – called Seetroen – are said to take just 12 minutes to alleviate symptoms and work in 95 per cent of cases.

As a result, it says children can read, watch films or play in the rear seat of a car without fear of feeling sick.

The unusual design features four circular lens-less frames – two in front of the eyes, and two more at right-angles along the arms of the glasses.

Each holds a reservoir of a coloured liquid, the surface of which stays in line with the horizon, letting the wearer resynchronise their sense of balance in a car, plane, train, boat or coach.

This resolves the conflict between the senses that causes kinetosis – the scientific name for motion sickness.

Citroen claims up to 30million people in Europe suffer from motion sickness, which is caused when your brain struggles to work out whether you are moving or not as a result of conflicting signals from the eyes and the part of the middle ear responsible for our sense of balance.

For example, if you sit in the rear seat of a car looking at the headrest in front, your eye tells you there is no movement, but your ears – which detect acceleration, turning, rising, falling and slowing down – tell you there is, confusing your brain and causing nausea.

Children and adolescents going through puberty are particularly susceptible, although the Seetroen glasses are only suitable for those over ten – the age at which the inner ear is fully developed.

Citroen says that because the device does not contain lenses, it can be shared between people who suffer from travel sickness, and may even be worn over prescription glasses.

And for those concerned that they might look like an extra in a low-budget sci-fi movie during a journey, the car firm says the glasses can be taken off after the initial feelings of motion sickness have dissipated.

Similar glasses were developed by the French firm Boarding Ring to help sailors, but Citroen says it has adapted the design for use on any means of transport.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
