The video shows them using anaglyphs for this.
Presumably shutter glasses could also be used if you wanted better color rendition.

Polarized glasses could also work.

I don't think any tablets have the ability to selectively emit polarized light.
Yes, this is what occurred to me when watching the video. It must know if it being rotated. For the tiger to be seen on the side of the cone you are viewing, it needs to be rendered on the display somewhere between the "nickel" and the viewer.
Someone viewing from the opposite side of the cone would not see the reflection that you are seeing — no tiger on their side of the cone. (Now, in that specific case, two viewers 180 degrees apart, you could in fact render two tigers on opposite sides of the code so both viewers see a tiger.)
No true stereo at all though with the cone. Left and right eye will see the same tiger. Only a sort of "perceived" stereo if you rotate the device.
