This is a cool effect but it looks like it's mechanical: the screen is split into tiny squares which can slide in and out independently. It's not 3D, it's literally tiny screens moving along the z-axis.

The technology behind this is probably quite interesting as the movement has to sync up with the video but I can't watch this without wondering how long it will take for some of the tiny screens to get stuck because of a failed actuator.

It's more of a clever hack of 2D technology than an actual advancement in 3D technology like the title might lead someone to believe.
