No major insights, but it was fun to program. I've added it to the

Nice work! I've seen earlier well-done German animations, don't know
where I kept the links though.
I believe this is what you were thinking about.
https://www.spacetimetravel.org/https://www.tempolimit-lichtgeschwindigkeit.de/About "Measurement_versus_visual_appearance", that has always been a
topic of interest to me, and it took years (if not decades:) to see it
trickle in to SRT descriptions (before that, there was general confusion
between both descriptions, still going on in some minds:).

Here are my latest Desmos exercises on it:
https://www.wugi.be/srtinterac.html (under: Measuring relativistic
motion, and Seeing it)
(older QB examples at https://www.wugi.be/paratwin.htm and
https://www.wugi.be/qbRelaty.html)
"Terrell rotation" can be seen at work in all kinds of position, in 2D.
The only "direct vision" of pure Lorentz length contraction is far away
along the observer-based perpendicular [line/plane] to the direction of
motion.
