The short story is they use an Artificial Intelligence trained to reconstruct volumetric environments from pictures taken from single cameras. Multiple layers (photos focused at different depths) are reccomended to aquire a more precise volumetric information.

Then, the volumetric info is loaded in an app which offer the effect in discussion.

From the volumetric information, is eassy to generate stereoscopic images with an effect even more complex than a single stereoscopic pair, but it seems that is not their intention. Yet.
