This reminds me of a tool that came out 10 or 15 years ago, which allowed you to feed it arbitrary binary data that it could display in 3D.

I remember reading a Slashdot article on it in which one of the examples was a 3D, freely-rotating view of the Linux kernel binary.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't seem to recall the name of the project or find it.
