They time-multiplex the two planes (switching the displays on and off quickly). Amazingly, the brain interprets it as a 3rd, or 4th, or 5th, plane!

This Facebook optic uses the same technique.




No that's not accurate. The brain may not be able to distinguish the two focal planes but it's just wrong to say "the brain interprets it as a 3rd, or 4th or 5th plane".

And this Facebook technique clearly doesn't use the same technique. Instead of a focal plane they have a focal surface that isn't restricted to a plane. It might not be noticeably better (who knows) but it's definitely not the same technique.
