This is an optical illusion, your eyes fooling your brain. Just like those 70's psychedelic posters, black and white cubes spiraling in smaller looks and genuinely feels like your spinning. I use to be a rail commuter and if we were passing or being passed by another train, I would get so car sick it would ruin my morning.

When earth rotates why don't we feel the rotation of the earth?

Because we are moving along with the earth, and there is no relative motion between the earth and us. If we are seated on a train and watching the scenery go by, we don't "feel" the motion of the train as it sails down the track at freeway speeds (the jostling of the train aside). Same thing. It's a "frame of reference" thing from physics 101.

There is a train which is moving on a straight track without any jerks or vibration. Everyone is asleep and you are awake.Doors and windows are closed. How do you know that the train is moving?

You wouldn't be able to tell. This is because you have no frame of reference to compare the motion to. You judge motion based on a point in space. If all the doors are closed, and all of the windows have shades pulled, the only points that you could compare to are ones that are moving at the same speed as you. Assuming that you feel no vibration, you couldn't tell if the train is stopped or moving. There are ways however to tell motion, just not visually. . If you have a GPS with you, you will realize that the position on the earth is changing.


Is it true to say that a train in which you are travelling is in motion and also at rest?

It's all in your "frame of reference". If you're in a train - say, in the baggage car, where there are no windows, and the track is smooth and straight and the shock absorbers and springs are REALLY good - then you may not be able to feel or see any motion. Your "frame of reference" is that baggage car. You are at rest. If you go up to the normal car and sit in your seat and look out the window, then your "frame of reference" is large enough for you to see the movement; you are in motion. We sometimes get motion sickness when we have TWO frames of reference imposed on us at once; we're in an airplane with the window curtains closed, so we SEE that we're at rest, but we can FEEL the movement of the airplane. Our brains get confused, and we get sick.


What is the use of motion?

Motion gaming is just another step in gaming to make you feel like you are really there. This also is significantly healthier for you than non-motion gaming. It is something new and has sparked ideas for other projects that could be the future of gaming.

Why do you not notice the world turning?

You never feel steady motion at a constant speed. That's why you're able to sleep in a car and read a book on an airliner. You only feel changes in motion.
