The article references a weird quote from Fortune: "Abovitz says that Magic Leap's "light-field" technology essentially mimics the brain's visual-perception mechanisms to create objects and even people who look and behave just the way they would in the real world, and interact with that world seamlessly." If Magic Leap's use of the term light-field is anything like its meaning in the literature, and it does sound like it, from one other source that I googled, then it is very much not to do with "the brain's [...] mechanisms", it's a totally geometric/optical concept that any optically equipped device/creature could enjoy. It could be tailored for the typically horizontal human eye arrangement, like some previous autostereo displays have been. That is an anatomical/geometrical shortcut, though. If there's real neuroscience-style brain science here I'd be interested to hear more about it.
