I havent seen Hackers, so I cant comment on their 3D thing, but if I
remember correctly, when I was in Sweden, I saw a book on FreeBSD, and
quickly flicking through it, in the introduction section, the book had a
picture of a file manager that looked *remarkably* like the one that was
used in Jurassic Park... whether it was a commercial thing, or just a
mockup, I can't tell (the book was in Swedish). Still.. it might be out
there.
