That's pretty interesting. (was at the Winter CES in Las Vegas). 
It sounds like a pretty standard LCD type system EXCEPT that they
have a real-time processor which magnifies a mono signal every other
frame. The effect is that you are looking at a scene from two different
positions along the Z axis, which gives some apparent depth. 

I've never tried that right offhand. 

They do point out it is a stopgap measure until real stereo program
material emerges (hey Ray!). They also say (suprisingly enough) that the big
stereo movie period was late 70's - early 80's (Jaws 3D, etc). Looks
like some of us whom remember the 50's are put out to pasture!
