3D File Browser made in BGE with python works with linux (tested in ubuntu & fedora)
It is a Proof of Concept (PoC) that blender game engine can make a 3d graphical interface which can deal with the system and getting it’s information, so we made a basic 3d File Browser with python, you can describe it as a prototype.

I’ve thought about making something like this before. I’ll have to see how you did it.
All im getting is a blank screen with the cursor dot, is there something i need to do to get it going?
EDIT: it tells me i need to install dbus-1-python, but i cant find that anywhere…

try to search for dbus (python library) in repositories.
to insure that installed correctly , try
import dbus
in python shell .
insure you follow readme instructions (specialy run in root or sudo privileges )

you are welcome 
Interesting, but I think you could have really involved the Z axis in the design. Show this to someone without a description and theyll think its 2D, at the moment it seems to be a 2D interface in 3D space.
It has potential tho of course, but doesnt quite deserve the ‘3D file browser’ title yet.

I’m working on 3d windowing manager (3d environment for running apps and control it) that have involve Z widely and use basic user hand gestures via camera (without extra hardware) as input .
when i came to design phase ,i will open thread in forums to get users more involved in design (and hopefully contribute) .
in short file browser was for testing and not for usability , we work on incoming project for end-user and hope we will release it soon (hopefully in 3-4 months)
how come it doesnt work on my pc?? i dunno why. a little help pls??

It would appear that it is made in Linux, so if you aren’t running a Linux distribution, then I’m guessing it wouldn’t work.
