That's for PC? So I assume that recording was from PS4 then?

Nice, thanks!
Here's an overview of E3 from Game Informer, with SOMA on the first page:

I red the FAQs and it says that there will be no inventory screen, but items will appear in the player's hand when they could be used. How is that system working exactly?

That's pretty odd because here :
https://youtu.be/FIZXrKl4lXQ (5:16) you can clearly see that it says "to see your inventory"
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Slanderous - 06-21-2015
Maybe the inventory will be in a drastically changed form, who knows.

Thank you for pointing that out. The answer to the inventory question in the SOMA Info Portal FAQs was written based on the April 2014 alpha demo previews. We're going to reword the answer to reflect the new information, and update the Gameplay subsection accordingly.
@Googol: You can see a demonstration of how it works in this preview video: http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/o1jjpe/soma-preview (2:20).
The PC Gamer and Adventure Gamers previews also mention:

I guess the inventory screen will serve only to allow the players to visualise the items they have at any given moment. But when it comes to use the items, they will automatically appear on-screen when/where you need to use them.
