Steam Deck plugin to reduce motion sickness when playing in cars/etc (github.com)

An experimental steam deck plugin that works similarly to an iOS anti-motionsickness feature. Basically it shows dots on the edges of the screen, and moves those dots based on the deck's internal gyroscope to help your eyes have a movement reference.

The dev is also looking for feedback on how well it works, if you try it out you can submit feedback here or email the dev at astro@n0t.space

This is kinda niche, but it's the kind of thing that could be a big improvement for people with bad motion sickness issues, so I'm curious if it will work.

Any instructions? Do you just download the whole repo in desktop mode then run the install script?

I think you just need the install script, and then it will download the plugin.

The dev recommendeds using the command:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MuteMotion-Tech/MuteMotion-SteamDeck-Shim/main/install.sh | bash

Which just downloads the install script (readable here) and runs it. The script downloads

https://github.com/MuteMotion-Tech/MuteMotion-SteamDeck-Shim/releases/latest/download/MuteMotion-SteamDeck.tar.gz

And extracts it to a new folder in your decky plugin folder, then sets permissions for it, and restarts decky.
