Eyeballs attached UR: Head. Normal response. It would be abnormal if your head wasn't shaking.

Oscillopsia?: Normally the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) will maintain ocular positioning in space in spite of head / body movement - sort of like a built in gyroscope. Shaky vision with head movement could indicate an impairment of the VOR, usually from an inner ear problem (vestibular system). The condition can be disabling in some situations.Simulation video: http://www.gentamicin.com/symptoms/bouncing-vision
