Moving visual scenes influence the apparent direction of gravity. 1972

J Dichgans, and R Held, and L R Young, and T Brandt

When an observer views a wide-angled display rotating around his line of sight, he both feels his body tilted and sees a vertical straight edge tilted opposite to the moving stimulus. Displacement of the perceived vertical increases with stimulus speed to reach a maximum (averaging 15 degrees) at 30 degrees per second.
