Olympus (or was in Pentax? I don't remember) already tried this in some of their digital cameras a few years ago. The lens would focus based on where you were looking. It didn't end up working too well, as I understand.

The MiG-29 fighter uses a similar technology that tracks targets based on the pilot's eye and head position. Apparently it actually works in that situation.

Some handycams had this function like 10-15 years ago. I had one of 'em, either Canon or Sony, not sure...
