Oh, or we could do a subtle rotational 3D transform about the x axis which tracked with the device rotation about the x axis, but reversed, and clipped to, say, +- 5 degrees. The effect would be, if you tilt the device away from yourself, the image would ever so subtly appear to maintain perpendicular orientation from your perspective. In so tilting, the top and bottom cropped bits would be progressively revealed/hidden. It would be another neat clue and super discoverable - if you move you'd notice it, and maybe want to tap it :)
