When observers binocularly fixate on an inclined sheet of paper with equally spaced dots, an apparent "staircase" is seen. We varied the inclination of the sheet, the spacing among the dots, and the viewing distance. The results indicate that (1) as the space and the inclination decreased, the number of apparent steps increased and the height of apparent steps decreased, and (2) as the distance and the inclination increased, the number of apparent steps decreased, and eventually the illusion disappeared. The nearest-neighbor rule and the extent of the vertical horopter inclination explain the characteristics of the illusion.
