From what I've read (less than 10 seconds), it sounds like they are using a LCD screen which displays a different image depending on the viewing angle. If that's the case, it really isn't new technology, but it has tons of problems.

For one, where is the head located relative to the screen? How far are they sitting away from the TV? How do you support multiple people viewing? Pretty much all this stuff can be "assumed" when it's a handheld.

There was a good presentation by Sony at GDC 2010 if you're interested in it.
