As you already discovered, it is called 'Buttonfly'.  Oddly, I first saw 
it on my Amiga 500.  So, I was less than impressed when the 
multi-thousand dollar SGIs at the CSU visualization labs could do the 
same thing... :)

Unfortunatly, Goggle is being a little selfish about turning up anything 
interesting on the Amiga version of Buttonfly.  However, considering the 
Amiga, I kind of doubt it was OpenGL -- and so, would be even more 
difficult to port than the SGI versions...

On the other hand, considering the Amiga, you could probably do Button 
Fly with SVGALIB nowdays! :)
