Has anyone seen this implemented? Doesn't look like there is any code to try or links to a demo.

They mention a video but the paper didn't include details but a quick Google found this (which I vaguely recognise now as having been posted on HN before):

I'm the author of the paper. The prototype was never released by Google unfortunately. The implentation we used was a bit hacky, using a visual effects layer over the text editing layer. It was tricky to keep them in sync. A more robust implementation would try to avoid that. I'm happy to discuss specifics in you're interested.
