Remove the Parallax effect in iOS 7

Parallax is one of the most striking design innovations of iOS 7. It consists of the Optical effect of simulating depth on iPhone screen, as if we had a foreground with notifications, a background with app icons and a third with the image we have chosen in the background. By moving the terminal, everything acquires its own space and moves independently in its plane.

This effect, which a priori can be interesting and modern, causes nausea and headaches for some users while for others it is fun and even create your own wallpapers to be able to take full advantage of it.

In addition to being able to produce these effects, increases battery consumption, so I'm going to explain where to disable it. We access Settings and within this section we look for the one of Accessibility.

The negative effects of Parallax have to do with vision disorders or visual-vestibular conflict. The vestibular system gives us the sense of balance and spatial perception. When we visually see a movement in 3D (Parallax effect case) but the sensory system tells us that it is only a static reaction, or false, dizziness and nausea occur. To get an idea, 35 percent of Americans over 40 have vestibular system disorders. Similar symptoms can come from neurological problems, but for these there is no solution.

Many are the voices that have been raised against Apple for not taking into account this percentage of the population when devising iOS 7, since nowadays is considered the provider most committed to accessibility. Hopefully for future software versions the accessibility study will allow, from minute 0, usability by as many people as possible.
