In recent years investigation of the problem of visual direction has been more or less restricted to the problem of how we perceive the upright and horizontal directions of space (1, 2, 3, 4). The work on this problem has led to the conclusion that there are two factors which account for our accurate perception of the upright direction under varying conditions. On the one hand it has been shown that the main lines of the scene influence the perception of the upright and horizontal directions of space since tilting the axis of the scene produces marked changes in the direction of the phenomenal upright. The phenomenal upright is displaced in the direction of the upright of the tilted scene. On the other hand it has been shown that the direction of the upright is still perceived fairly accurately even where no visual scene is present at all, as for example in a completely darkened room (5). It is true that if 0 is tilted in this situation, judgments of the upright are no longer quite so accurate. Nevertheless, within a certain range of error, it is still correct to say that we can perceive the general direction of the upright even under these circumstances. From this it has been concluded that the second factor is the direction of the
