Fsv – 3D File System Visualizer
If you find this interesting, you'll find eagle mode to be 100x as cool: http://eaglemode.sourceforge.net/
A clone of FSN (file system navigator), of Jurassic Park fame.
Copyright date is 1999.
I'd love to see this updated. Maybe even take advantage of VR.
Edit:
Somewhat related to that, one of my favorite books as a kid was Tom Clancy's Net Force. And in it there was a novel VR-based way people navigated the internet. Also, Full Disclosure by Michael Chritchton (spelling?) has a VR based interface.
It's a unix system! I know this!
If anyone is looking for a modern 2d file system visualizer for *nix. I highly recommend duc http://duc.zevv.nl/

I used to like XCruiser.
