dumb terminal, dumb users
I did something similar using a dumb terminal on a VAX machine.

The terminal had an additional memory module added to enable it to do some graphics work, and the memory module had a grill on the front to help cool it.

For those of you that remember the VAX editor, you could easily create macros that worked in real time, and could be called up when starting the editor.

So with a 10 minute macro written, and script printed and hidden, I started to speak to the terminal and it responded to my every command. It wasn't long before I had an audiance of amazed people looking at my new voice input module on my dumb terminal. Not bad tech for 1984.
