\textbf{Description:} Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly common components of computer vision systems. When handling ``familiar'' data, DNNs are capable of superhuman performance; however, inputs that are dissimilar to previously encountered examples (but that are still easily recognized by humans) can cause DNNs to make catastrophic mistakes. Here, we present a framework for discovering DNN failures that harnesses 3D computer graphics. Using our framework and a self-assembled dataset of 3D objects, we investigate the vulnerability of DNNs to ``strange'' poses of well-known objects. For objects that are readily recognized by DNNs in their canonical poses, DNNs incorrectly classify 97\% of their pose space. Further, DNNs are highly sensitive to slight pose perturbations; for example, rotating a correctly classified object as little as $8\degree$ can often cause a DNN to misclassify. Lastly, 75\% to 99\% of adversarial poses transfer to DNNs with different architectures and/or trained with different datasets.
