Windows Phone 7 and Simulation Sickness

From the reviews - and my experience developing a tiny app on the emulator - Windows Phone 7 is looking good as another .NET platform.  Unfortunately, the touted WP7 interface exacerbates simulation (motion) sickness. It’s like (but not nearly as bad as) the  artificial motion in video games that induces nausea, forcing me to look away.

To work on a project with a carousel controls, I’d have to dose myself up with Gravol.

The upshot is that while most of the world appreciates the fluid animations on Windows Phone 7, I’m looking for a keystroke or API that switches off the motion effects. Somehow I doubt if there’s anything of the sort. Too bad.

Okay, I’m cutting this blog post short because I’m now experiencing psychogenic symptoms!
