I actually don’t think this is coincidence .. rolling shutters scan the entire image very quickly instead of capturing all at once it’s actually easy to see how this can then give the appearance of a time-lag between light rays gonna have to think about this more..

Replying to @InertialObservr
I think they look similar because the rolling shutter introduces a spatially dependent time delay across the image—in the finite light speed simulation, a similar spatially dependent time delay arises from certain parts of the wheels being farther away.

Exactly! Well said.. I’m trying to work out the more precise math to see hire similar they are in terms of observation but it’s getting late
