In Encyclopaedia Britanica, I found this comment: "The Poggendorff illusion depends on the steepness of the intersecting lines. As obliqueness is decreased, the illusion becomes less compelling." <br/><br/>I suspect that by tilting the head, you are in effect adjusting the "steepness" of the lines and defeating the illusion. <br/><br/>So if you want to trully appreciate Poggendorf's illusion as it was intended, keep your head straight -- and no artificial aids!
