Rule

A user MUST be able to disable motion animation triggered by interaction, unless the animation is essential to the functionality or the information being conveyed.

Background

The impact of animation on people with vestibular disorders can be quite severe. Triggered reactions include nausea, migraine headaches, and potentially needing bed rest to recover.

How to Fix

Fix this issue by using ONE of the following techniques:

  1. Remove the animation.
  2. Provide a control for users to turn off non-essential animations from user interaction.
  3. Take advantage of the reduce motion feature in the user-agent or operating system to allow users to suppress animations.
