It's not. Looking Glass is an advanced version of lenticular optics, which is 100+ year old technology, except used to create a multiscopic display(many views).

Nintendo 3DS is newer technology, known as parallax barrier. However, 3DS is only two views, which is pretty much only useful for a single viewer.
