====Screen images==== This type of terrestrial motion sickness is particularly prevalent when susceptible people are watching films presented on very large screens such as [[IMAX]], but may also occur in regular format theaters or even when watching TV or playing games. For the sake of novelty, IMAX and other panoramic type theaters often show dramatic motions such as flying over a landscape or riding a [[roller coaster]]. In regular-format theaters, an example of a movie that caused motion sickness in many people is ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]''. Theaters warned patrons of its possible nauseating effects, cautioning pregnant women in particular. ''Blair Witch'' was filmed with a handheld [[camcorder]], which was subjected to considerably more motion than the average movie camera,<ref name="Wax" /> and lacks the stabilization mechanisms of [[steadicam]]s. Home movies, often filmed with a cell phone camera, also tend to cause motion sickness in those who view them. The person holding the cell phone or other camera usually is unaware of this as the recording is being made since the sense of motion seems to match the motion seen through the camera's viewfinder. Those who view the film afterward only see the movement, which may be considerable, without any sense of motion. Using the zoom function seems to contribute to motion sickness as well since zooming is not a normal function of the eye. The use of a tripod or a camera or cell phone with [[image stabilization]] while filming can reduce this effect.{{nosource|date=August 2017}}
