 From memory the Apache helicopter uses something similar for Hellfire 
missiles? The pilot moves the head-up display crosshairs over the 
(mostly desirable) target then presses the trigger/button, with the 
missile going to where the crosshair was, such that multiple targets 
can be picked up? This is not so much eye-tracking as head-tracking, 
but I guess the basic principle is the same.

Cheers, Andrew
