Possibly one made by Tobii (http://www.tobii.com/archive/pages/17746/tobii_x120_eye_tracker.aspx)

The webcam is used on the “robot” itself.

I wonder for what part did they use the lego parts?

There for it is not controlled by his eyes.

You can see spots from the IR emitters in this video. They say their *next* version will use a webcam to track the eyes.
