Fallingwater in the spotlight at Pittsburgh International Airport

Pittsburg Airport

A display near the baggage claim at Pittsburgh International Airport includes a scale model of Fallingwater and a documentary about the famed Frank Lloyd Wright creation.

MARY PICKELS  | Wednesday, May 3, 2017, 5:30 p.m.

Passengers flying out of Pittsburgh International Airport have more than people or aircraft watching to entertain them. The Moon transportation hub is currently hosting two new art and cultural exhibits, officials say.

The facility has partnered with Fallingwater, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh to install the exhibits, showcasing regional assets.

Visitors may view a scale model and video of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural masterpiece Fallingwater while collecting their luggage across from the VisitPittsburgh kiosk.

Made by Emmy Award-winning director Kenneth Love, the video features Rembrandt 3-D technology with “true to life” image realism without requiring special eyewear. Viewers will hear a short history of the Fayette County property’s commission in the late 1930s, along with a biography of owners the Kaufman family of Pittsburgh and Wright.

The 1:87 scale model is one of only two such models of the house, which is a National Historic Landmark. The other is on display at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art.

Lynda Waggoner, Fallingwater director and Conservancy vice president, hopes the display will encourage visits to the site, 90 minutes outside of Pittsburgh.

“The 3-D video and model will give an engaging introduction to Fallingwater, from its history to what the house and surrounding grounds look like,” she says in a release.

Look Ma, No Glasses

I’ve written several articles about 3D TV. This isn’t that, but it’s a cousin. Indeed, it’s not about a TV at all, but an Android tablet. But it’s TV that has pushed the technology and is therefore worth address first.

From the beginning, I’ve written that 3D TV with glasses is a problematic technology that doesn’t have a future. And that turned out to be the case. The simplest explanation is that it’s not how people watch TV in a house with family and other distractions around. Glassless 3D, though, is another matter. Also known as “auto-stereoscopic” technology, it offers a real future and benefit. Mostly, I’ve written about a company called Stream TV Networks, which licenses a technology called Ultra-D, which is quite remarkable and works wonderfully. The first few TV sets using Ultra-D technology are slowly hitting the market, but there still have been many delays. They have additional plans to develop glassless 3D tablets, but those are still in the beta stages.

Ultra-D isn’t the only technology out there, however. I’ve seen some others, and they’ve been interesting but problematic. And that brings us to the Rembrandt Maestro, which appears to be the most promising, though still with some questions.

REMBRANDT MAESTRO Glasses-free 3D Android tablet

This will be a slightly different review than most—more of a double review. The core of it, though, is the Rembrandt Maestro, which is a 10” Android tablet that can run videos in glasses-free 3D. It also can auto-convert 2D video to glasses-free 3D. (And photos, as well.)

The tablet itself is a very respectable Android device. It’s full-featured, and runs the Android 4.2.2 operating system quite well. It’s responsive and comes with a solid selection of apps pre-installed. Programs run on a quad-core processor providing respectable speed. I did find the tablet to be a bit on the heavy side.

One other small quibble. When you plug in the included charger, there’s no light on the tablet to show that it’s charging, or to change color and show that it’s fully charged, or at least to open a graphic that’s begun charging. Obviously, when it’s plugged in, you can see that is, but I find a light helpful to know that the charging is working.

The Maestro comes with 16 MB of RAM, a bit small for promoting itself as a PC, though it’s okay for limited heavy-use and there’s a micro-USB slot to expand capacity. It has a 5MP rear camera (not the most powerful around, but it suffices) and a small .3 MP front camera. When you take a picture, content can automatically convert to 3D on the tablet.

The display supports 1080p video. I thought the image throughout the tablet was good, though not with the sharpest crispness some people. Audio quality was fine, though obviously you’re not going after audiophiles.

It also comes with a pretty nice keyboard and protective case. I found the keyboard responsive and good to work with. The keys are fairly small, though, so people with chubby fingers would likely have a problem. The case is quite nice and folds out easily to become a stand.

When I was sent the tablet, I was told that I might have to hold the On button two times for about 10 seconds each. And I did have to—it’s certainly not the most efficient way to get up-and-running. Also, oddly, it was a bit difficult to turn the device off, and tended to require a few attempts. I don’t know if this was just because it’s an early production model, though, or if there was some manufacturing glitch. I’m going to assume the former, though don’t know for absolute certain if that’s the case.

More to the point of all this is the glassless 3D capability. That’s the reason to pay attention to the Rembrandt Maestro.

I first tested the 3D videos that come came installed which had been converted from 2D, and was unfortunately underwhelmed. (I’ve seen the 2D-to-3D conversations by the aforementioned Ultra-D, and they’ve been wonderfully impressive, so I know that conversion can work.) Here, it was still pretty flat without much sense of depth. Same with the converted photos.

There are two scrollbar-like settings that you can adjust to change the focus and depth of converted videos, and to find the best “sweet” spot for viewing, but I felt that neither made much difference.

Then I checked out a couple of native 3D videos that were installed on the tablet, neither that required any converting, and both about Frank Lloyd Wright and the famous Fallingwater House in Pennsylvania. (More about them later.) It was a significant difference. The native glassless 3D video was quite wonderful.

With the native 3D, there was a very noticeable depth in watching the videos— and again, remember, this is auto-stereoscopic, so no glasses are needed. The depth wasn’t always pronounced, but that’s normal with any 3D, and it also depends on how the shot was set-up by the filmmakers—sometimes though the depth-of-field and 3D image was profound, giving a wonderful, natural sensibility. The video was also very sharp—quite crisp and clear.

In native 3D mode, there’s only one scrollbar setting, to adjust focus and find the sweet spot. You can’t adjust the depth of 3D (you can with Ultra-D), and I found that you are a bit limited in the viewing distance. For instance, unless you have someone else helping out, you really can’t adjust the image any farther away than…well, the length of your arm. It’s not a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to set the tablet on a desk and sit back a ways, if you wanted to. But ultimately, all auto-stereoscopic 3D has a sweet spot, so the fact that this one may be a little bit closer is fine.

The bottom line is that it plays native glassless 3D video very well. The same with native 3D photographs. It can also play 3D games, of course. In addition, there’s an HDMI output so that you can play the 3D image on a 3D monitor or 3D TV. (None of the documentation said whether it had to be an auto-stereoscopic TV or monitor, rather than one which requires glasses, though I would expect so.)

The Rembrandt Maestro retails at the time of writing for $399. They have a deluxe model for $449, but as far as I can tell, the only difference I can tell is that it includes the two Frank Lloyd Wright videos. They’re wonderful and would be a treat to have, but I don’t think they’re worth the extra $50.

Is the Rembrandt Maestro something that should be your Android tablet of choice? It’s a solid device, but honestly I think that right now for most people its use is probably limited. It’s also a bit heavy, and somewhat more expensive compared to the competition. And the amount of 3D content is limited right now. However—if 3D movies (or games, which are much more prevalent) are important to you, a glassless 3D tablet is an intriguing device and greatly-more usable than one with glasses, since the whole point of a tablet is its ease of portability.

The thing is, however, that there is another value to a glassless 3D tablet like the Rembrandt Maestro, that expands beyond just home consumer use. Which, in part, brings us to the oddity of the other review.

Fallingwater in 3D, the House Tour

I don’t tend to review movies here (“tend” will be defined in this instance as “never”), but I thought this was a deserving change of pace, since the quality of watching a glassless 3D movie is so integral to the experience—and use—of the tablet. This won’t be in-depth, but still, I think, worthwhile.

Actually, there are two glassless 3D movies included on the tablet, both from the same filmmaker, Ken Love. One is a short five-minute work mainly on Frank Lloyd Wright, using Wright’s own voice for the narration. It’s enjoyable, and the glassless 3D is effective. But it’s the other film, a 36-minute movie on Fallingwater House in Pennsylvania that’s the centerpiece.

It’s not just the centerpiece because of the length and craft of the film, but also for showing the benefits of glassless 3D. What inspired the film to be made is that Fallingwater House is very difficult to get to by some people, particularly those who are disabled. It is 117 steps to walk up through a challenging natural climb. Providing a filmed tour of a locale is fairly common among museums and such venues, but most still don’t really touch the experience fully. In fact, Frank Lloyd Wright himself said long ago (and presciently) that 3D-film was really the best medium for viewing architecture. And so, a 3D movie like this goes a long way to bringing a place like Fallingwater to far greater life than would be otherwise. And a glassless 3D movie takes that reality even further.

Which brings us to Ken Love’s movie. Love is a film director, still photographer and producer based out of Pittsburgh. He has worked on more than 30 National Geographic TV specials, and won two Emmys for them, in Individual Achievement in Sound Editing.

The film is quite wonderful. One of the things that Ken Love understands about 3D is that you don’t get the most effect by camera movement or horizontal design or anything “shooting out” at the viewer, but by layering what’s in the frame. One of the first, most-pronounced 3D effects in the film comes in shots of a butterfly on the fore-edge a flower, fluttering its wings. It’s simple, but it shows craft and a sense of space. The film is more than just 3D visuals, though, it’s a good movie, period, with interesting history on the building of the house, a tale that began with department store magnate Edgar Kauffman getting involved with Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934, when the architect’s career was stalling. However, their son worked for Wright at Taliesin in Wisconsin, so they were interested in his work. It’s all illustrated with impactful black-and-white photos.

(Obviously, no 2D images will give any sense of the 3D experience, but I offer them here to give a perspective of the views—both inside and out—of what the 3D technology has available at its fingertips.)

Ultimately, of course, it’s the 3D which leaps out (literally) in the film. And seeing the fascinating house in its place in nature has increased impact when viewed in spatial perspective of the multi-level house, its famous waterfall, the prominent gulley and surrounding woods. We almost expect to see that, though. What is less expected is how moving the interior of the house is with the rich depth of field. As the 3D cameras travel around rooms and their unique angles, looking outside into the natural environment, and then heads up into the upper rooms, it’s remarkable how much the sensibility of the house comes alive so vibrantly.

The narration is quite well-done, as well, something not always the case in “tour” movies like this, which can be dry. And though the voice-over work is intentionally low-key, bordering on monotone, it’s actually effective here and calming, fitting the nature of the…well, nature.

What stands out above the quality of the work is how viable glassless 3D is for use such as this. We tend to think of consumer technology as just being for home use, and while glassless 3D tablets do have home use value, I think that thinking of the devices in only that way is very limiting to this technology.

There are many tourist venues and “living museums: that have poor access for the disabled—or the elderly or very young. And not only does 3D add an impact to the experience that a 2D film can’t reach, but making it glassless 3D on an easy-to-carry tablet makes the experience all the more natural (and removes the expense and maintenance of keeping glasses around). But even this specific movie doesn’t have to be used only at this one venue in question. I could see any Frank Lloyd Wright museum in the country offering the Fallingwater glassless 3D video to rent and watch on the spot. Or offer it for sale. For that matter, it could be offered to rent and watch at any architectural museum—or any museum, period. And that only takes into consideration singling out Frank Lloyd Wright here. Obviously, the technology would be appropriate for any architecture site or any natural location or “living museum” venue where getting a richer, full-visual experience would be important.

So, while Fallingwater in 3D, the House Tour is extremely good on its own, I think its greatest value is in showing how such technology and tablets like the Rembrandt Maestro can be used on a much wider scale.

TWW Notes

  • • Delta Airlines will soon be adding an impressive and actually helpful feature to its app. Upcoming, they will be updating their service at 84 international airports in the U.S. to allow for RFID technology (radio frequency ID) to track luggage. Once this rollout is finished, passengers themselves will be able to follow their luggage across airports and planes on their Fly Delta app. Pins can mark the location, and tapping on the pins will bring up for information.
  • Last quarter, Apple iPhone sales dropped five percent over a year earlier. However, the company still sold 45.5 million iPhones, which beat Wall Street’s forecast of 44.2 million sales.
  • The good news for Apple is that it remains the leader in Smartwatch sales. The bad news is that Smartwatch sales overall have dropped 52% of the past year. Also, Apple’s 70% of the market in 2015 has dropped to 41%. The biggest jump was from, surprisingly—or shockingly—Garmin, which previously had had just 2% of the Smartwatch market and is now up to 20%.
  • As long as we’re on sales, one last report. Apple tablet increased in sales by 7.4% over the previous year, though unit sales dropped 9%, the tenth straight lower quarter for iPad sales. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Surface line increased 38% in the past year. (The figure includes both the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book.)
  • CNET rated the restaurant chains with the best WiFi connection. It probably won’t shock you that Starbucks was ranked #1. More unlikely, though is that #2 was Taco Bell, and #3 was Arby’s.

New technology makes 3D fit the viewer

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

By Marylynne Pitz / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
For 16 years, Stephen Blumenthal owned Gallagher Home Electronics in Ithaca, N.Y., that region’s largest independent electronic sales and service company.

After selling the business in 2005, he began working with physics and optics experts at Cornell University. Over the last 16 years, he has become a successful inventor.

In 2013, he obtained a U.S. patent on a three-dimensional television technology that viewers can use without wearing special glasses and that they can adjust for their own comfort and space. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Rembrandt 3D, a company based in Ithaca.

Ken Love, a local filmmaker who documented the last days of pressmen working at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Downtown building, will show “Letterpress RIP” on Rembrandt 3D televisions Saturday at 1 p.m. on the main floor of Carnegie Library’s main branch in Oakland. Mr. Blumenthal’s company is providing the television screens for the premiere. The company also provided hundreds of hours of in-kind services so the film could be made.

“My orientation has always been the scientific standards for broadcast quality,” Mr. Blumenthal said in a telephone interview. He invented 3DFusion technology. He also is credited with inventing the first dedicated 3D stereoscopic video microscope and the first high magnification stereoscopic 3D microscope.

Earlier versions of three-dimensional televisions were not popular for good reason, he said.

“If it hurts your eyes, if it makes you sick, it’s a non-starter. My patent provides the camera man or the studio director or the consumer in his home with the ability to fix the picture to his environment and his visual issues. Or if you have 3 or 4 or 5 or 10 people you can adjust the throw distance so that everybody gets a perfect picture.

Mr. Blumenthal also worked with Leica and Zeiss, the two oldest makers of microscopes and optics in the world.

Later, he became involved with Royal Philips, a company in Holland that has a major medical division.

“They were developing the 3D no glasses technology,” Mr. Blumenthal said.

That technology, Mr. Blumenthal said, uses a black and white depth map that is mathematically based.

“It is math-based in an encrypted format. It is able be re-rendered with every frame of video. With each frame, the depth map is recreated. It makes the 3D image adjustable in real time, the same way you would adjust color or volume on a regular television.

“That patent provides the capacity to make the image adjustable.”

He will be among the panelists who will discuss the film and the technology used to make it at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in the International Poetry Room on the second floor of Carnegie Library’s main Oakland branch.

That adjustability, Mr. Blumenthal said, “was a huge breakthrough. It also meant that the image could be calibrated to be geospatially accurate for scientific applications, for military weapons, drones or observation.

“Philips developed it in the mid-90s. I was lucky enough to be involved at Philips.”

Rembrandt 3D Film debuts to Standing Room Only” for Ken Love’s No Glasses 3DASD Film

Post Gazette press

The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, presents the Premiere of Emmy Award Winner, Ken Love’s 3D Film, “ The Letterpress RIP” , on the Rembrandt 3D’s No Glasses 3DTV.

August 3, 2016, Pittsburgh Pa. Rembrandt 3D (rembrandt3d.com) and Kenneth Love Films LLC. announced today the successful Premiere of it’s joint venture 3D film, “The Letterpress RIP” at the Carnegie

Library of Pittsburgh. The 30 minute, No glasses 3D film, was presented 4 times to “standing room only” screenings and received rave reviews from Pittsburgh notables, who commented that the film highlighted the American values of family, hard work, job satisfaction and the industrial artistry of these monster printing machines.

In this 3D film, the viewer is taken behind the pages of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s 50 year history of the ROE/Goss 3 story printing presses. It is a story that follows the paper on its serpentine journey through the presses, history and technological change, culminating in the Press’s demise. The last Press run was completed in August 2014.

Rembrandt 3D worked closely with Ken Love in the production of “The Letterpress, RIP” in crafting a 3D stereoscopic video presentation that would capture the majesty and power of this antiquated printing equipment, which has barely evolved from the days of Ben Franklin’s printing presses.

As the last of the “oldest technology” of its kind, still in operation in America, the story focuses on the generations of Pittsburgh Post- Gazette’s workers, whose Pressroom time ranged from 16 to 41 years, and the culture that passed the job from father to son for generations.

Commented Stephen Blumenthal, Rembrandt 3D C.E.O., “What I found particularly inspiring was the Pressmen’s dedication and demonstration of craftsmanship, team spirit and community that was both surprising and refreshing given the cynicism surrounding the modern day ‘blue collar’ work ethic. “

He continued, “What started out as a story about these incredible machines, under Ken Love’s artistic eye, evolved into a story of the workers who took genuine pride in their daily tasks of providing their community with accurate and timely newspaper reporting.”

The film will be free to the public and shown continuously on display at the Carnegie Library till the end of the year.

Ken Love and Rembrandt 3D would like to thank the men and woman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Pressroom, and Miguel Llinas and Director Mary Frances Cooper, MLS of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, for their assistance and support in making this film event possible.

About Ken Love:

Ken Love is an award-winning film director, producer and still photographer. His documentaries have been screened at the Louvre, Guggenheim and MOMA, and include Fallingwater: The House Tour in 3D, Maxo Vanka’s Masterpiece: The Murals at St. Nicolas Church, Thaddeus Mosley: Sculptor and One Shot: The Life and Work of Teenie Harris, a film about the famous Pittsburgh Courier photographer.

Rembrandt 3D Launches 4K HD No Glasses 3D Screens, Premiering Ken Love’s Frank Lloyd Wright’s: “Fallingwater in 3D, The House Tour” Film

June 9th, 2015 . Pittsburgh Pa. Rembrandt3D ( HYPERLINK “http://www.rembrandt3d.com” http://www.rembrandt3d.com) launched it’s new line of 3D NO Glasses,  4K resolution, full HD 3D Auto Stereoscopic Displays (3DASD) at the Three Rivers Technology Exhibition in Pittsburgh Pa., last week.  The event was highlighted by their introduction of  their new “Special Edition” 3DASD 10” Android Tablet which premiered award winning film maker, Ken Love’s new Frank Lloyd Wright Film, “Falllingwater in 3D, the House Tour.”  

The 36 minute film is both a historical perspective detailing the creation of the Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, as well as a 3D cinematic virtual tour of Fallingwater, and show the house, for the first time, captured in all four seasons.  When viewed on the Rembrandt 3D 4K 58” 3DASD screen, the impact was inspirational, as many viewers observed.
Viewer comments ranged from; “I’ve been to Fallingwater a half dozen times, and I’ve never really seen it till now, the winter shots are amazing”,  “it’s the best 3D I’ve ever seen, finally real 3DTV,” and “ I can’t believe my eyes.” To “absolutely awesome” commented keynote speaker Miki Agrawal
Steve Blumenthal, Rembrandt 3D CEO said, “It is by far the best 3D we have ever converted for 3D auto stereoscopic viewing, and I believe that it is the most picture perfect 3D ever seen without glasses.  It competes head to head to With Glasses 3D.”

He went on to say,  “ Even the black and white shots of the early stages of construction, the Kauffman family, and Frank Lloyd Wright on site, reinforce the richness and clarity of the films 3D depth effect. Ken Love did an amazing job. “

John Pecora, Rembrandt 3D VP observed. “ one of the key improvements of our new 4K lens design is that it holds a tight  3D focus over the entire focal distance of the image.  Both close up POP off the screen shots, as well as distant, behind the lens 3D shots, are crystal clear.  No ghosting, artifacts, sweet spots or image deterioration, and we do it without gimmicks or “head tracking”.   For 3D digital signage, our 4K resolution is truly a first to market improvement over full HD.  There has never been anything like it, or close to it.”

The 4 K resolution 3DASD screens are available in 23”, 28”, 46” 58” and 65” sizes, and are available for immediate shipping. Contact:  HYPERLINK “mailto:sales@rembrandt3d.com” sales@rembrandt3D for details on pricing, support and solutions.
