Do you think this is possible in-game? Also pls check the video too.
Coder Animation

It would be great to have that Coder Interface pop-up in the world while coding, especially if others could look at the virtual screen and see what you were considering coding. That way questions like "Do you want the Purple Milleri Albine Silk Tailcoat, the Purple Milleri Greywick Silk Tailcoat, the Purple Milleri Keyline Silk Tailcoat, or the Purple Milleri Peacock Silk Tailcoat?" would become "Look at these and let me know which you like best!"
That would be stunning... even if the virtual display didn't display what you were coding and only displayed a generic (animated?) image it would still be stunning....
Mm! That would be very nice, and much less laughter-inducing than the air-typing we're limited to doing now.
Looks great...I wonder how difficult it'd be tomake something like this, without an animator. Technically it would only be an FX add-on, I'd think, so it may not be impossible to pull off. I'd love it, personally. And awesome job on the video, especially.

Oh wow, now that's sexy...I'm all for that idea

That does look rather good and hopefully wouldn't require too much adjustment of the current animation cycle (i.e. insert some textured quads into the relevant frames). Gets 8 thumbs up according to the Homer Simpson rating system

Something like that would look great in game. I saw the video and really hope this can be possible! 
This would be sweet!
I doubt we'd be able to get something exactly like that but I know an animation exists to show something up on the screen but as for how the timings and such would work in that effectively... I dunno.
Thing about it is that it's a combat animation and considering that it's off the video describing the matrix online on Matrix Revolutions DVD it's from waaaay back in beta or something. I've never seen this being used myself...
But still, that would only flash up a grid screen as such and not a keyboard but thought I'd put it here anyways
But even if it was jut a grid that popped up and seemed to light up as you typed at it, that would be a lot better than nothing.
