motion sensitivity

Reacts to movement

Motion sensitivity is a susceptibility to discomfort or nausea triggered by visual motion, particularly in video games, films, or virtual reality.

Someone with motion sensitivity may experience dizziness or headaches from shaky camera work, rapid panning, or first-person perspectives: I had to turn off the motion blur—my motion sensitivity makes fast games unplayable.

The term also applies to physical motion sickness from vehicles or amusement rides.
