What is Reduced Motion?

Many people suffer from vestibular motion disorders where, among other triggers, animated effects on a screen can cause intense discomfort, dizziness, headaches, or worse. Plenty of people (myself included) also can't stand distracting animations happenning in our peripheral vision.

Most major operating systems now feature some accessibility setting to reduce the number of animation effects that appear. For example, on macOS and iOS, this replaces the sliding animation when switching between desktops/apps with a fullscreen fade effect instead.

Most major web browsers also support this accessbility toggle; though they generally don't expose it as a browser-level setting, typically just inherititing the OS-level behavior. This is exposed to web pages via the prefers-reduced-motion CSS media query.
