Blind Chase

What is this app for?


This application is designed to reduce motion sickness.

Motion sickness symptoms appear when the information coming to the brain from the balance organs does not match the information coming from the eyes.

Therefore, motion sickness often occurs in passengers who do not have the opportunity to look at the road in front of a moving car, as well as in those who play games on the phone or, for example, communicate on social networks on the road. To solve this problem, Citroen produced special eyeglasses. In the transparent frame of these eyeglasses was tinted liquid. When turning the car, the fluid shifted to the left or right. This shift helped the brain synchronize signals from the eyes with signals from the balance organs. Data on the effectiveness of these eyeglasses can be found in the article at the link:

This application uses a similar principle. The background of the app maintains a stable orientation regardless of the turns of the car, and thus eliminating the difference between the signals coming from the balance organs and from the eyes.


Before using this application, you should consult your doctor in order to avoid negative consequences.

How to play the built-in game

The application contains a game, in which  you have to chase invisible ghosts, guided only by their howls. You can play this game even without looking at the screen.


Start moving your finger around the screen and you will hear a sound. As you get closer to the ghost, the frequency of the sound will become higher. When your finger is exactly over the ghost, it will briefly appear on the screen and then disappear with a sharp sound. After that, you can start looking for the next ghost. The number in the upper left corner shows the number of ghosts not yet caught.


If you continuously search for the same ghost for more than 30 seconds, then it will change its place, making a hissing sound. Using the + and - buttons at the bottom of the screen you can set the time after which this will happen.


Each time you remove your finger from the screen, the ghost changes its location and the current game time counter in the upper right corner stops.


After the game is completed for the first time, a number will appear under the 🏆 icon, showing the time spent on the entire game. Each time you complete the game faster, this number will be updated. If you want to delete this record, press and hold the 🏆 icon for 1 second.


After you capture all the ghosts, a long sound will be heard and the game will immediately start again.

If you want to restart the game, press and hold the 👻 icon for 1 second.


If you want to disable background position stabilization, press and hold the number at the bottom center of the screen for 1 second. To enable background position stabilization, press and hold the same number again for 1 second.


How to use social networks


This application allows you to use browser versions of social networks in a mode that reduces the symptoms of motion sickness. To do this, the application contains a browser around which there is a frame that retains its orientation regardless of the turns of the car.  To open the browser, click on the globe icon at the bottom of the screen.

A browser will open in which you can perform regular web searches, use browser-based versions of social networks, read online books, and play online games.


Keep in mind that YouTube videos automatically open in full screen mode. If you want to see a frame around the screen, press the windowed view button on the video screen. And you may need to press the same button again when rotating your device from portrait to landscape or vice versa.

Attention! If the YouTube application is installed on the iPhone, then when you try to open it in the browser version, it will be opened in the application! Therefore, if you want to watch YouTube in windowed mode, long press on the link as shown in the video below, or delete the YouTube app.

By clicking on the star below the browser window, you can make it translucent or transparent. You can use translucent mode while reading online, and transparent mode while listening to Internet radio or YouTube music. In this case, the background image of the application will retain its functions.


Clicking on the icon with the image of the house will return you to the browser start page.


The arrows next to this icon perform "forward" and "backward" navigation functions. In addition, by clicking on these arrows for 1 second, you can, within certain limits, change the width of the browser window and, accordingly, the width of the frame rotating around it.


If you want to disable the stabilization of the frame position around the browser, press and hold the house image for 1 second. To turn on the stabilization of this frame, press and hold the house image again for 1 second.


The cross on the right is used to close the browser.

The question mark icon on the game screen will open the application's website in a separate window, where you can find information about it, as well as contacts and a privacy policy.
