The 2009 blockbuster 'Avatar' made extensive use of 3-D imagery. On the television front, electronics manufacturers are taking tentative steps into the marketplace with TV sets that can display 3-D images. And this week, a 3-D IMAX movie made of footage filmed during the last servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope hits theaters. In this segment, we'll talk about the future of 3-D display technology, and chat with the director of 'Hubble 3D' about putting a spacewalk on the silver screen.
