The results showed that most of the participants (all German residents) preferred oblique views to the straight front or side views, particularly in the photography task. used interactive three-dimensional computer graphics and asked participants to choose the viewpoint from which they would take a photograph of common objects for a brochure to give the best possible impression (Experiment 1) or to choose the viewpoint from which they spontaneously formed mental images of the objects (Experiment 2). Previous studies on the relationship between the object angle and goodness of view have shown that an oblique view (or a three-quarter view) has more advantages over a straight frontal or lateral view. Although previous studies have emphasized the role of reading direction, a close look at the results suggests that it cannot fully account for the preferred facing direction of oblique objects.

Weak effects of handedness and object functionality were also found: Left-handers tended to choose right-facing images more than right-handers, and the view of objects with a handle that is graspable by the dominant hand was more likely to be chosen over the opposite side view, regardless of culture. The results showed that Japanese participants (both vertical and left-to-right readers) and Israeli participants (right-to-left readers) preferred left-facing images over right-facing images, whereas American participants (left-to-right readers) preferred right-facing images over left-facing images. In this study, participants of three online surveys (total N = 1082) were asked to choose one item that looked better or was more aesthetically pleasing the test was performed between 100 pairs of left- and right-facing mirror-images.

Reading direction, handedness, and the functionality of objects have been suggested as the potential sources of directional bias. However, which side of a symmetric object looks better remains unsolved. An oblique view of three-dimensional objects is preferred over a frontal or lateral view, partly because it is more familiar and easily recognizable.
