What is holographic about this? Can it display images at multiple depths?

Each of your two eyes only sees a 2d image, and your brain combining this information is what gives you depth. I'd say it's holographic in that each eye receives different information and you perceive depth when looking into it.
If you're asking whether you can see multiple translucent layers, like a hologram from a movie or tv show, then I'd also say yes. But I'd warn that there's a 58 degree viewing angle in front that you can see the images from. You can't look at the sides (or back!) of the display and see anything, for that matter.
