I have been reading over the last 10 years where several schemes have been tried, I don't know of anything ready for 'prime time', but you can bet the first place it would show up is in Formula 1 race engines. I once read the fast acting actuators where the key. Perhaps that wouldn't be an issue in a low rpm high FE engine application? Just think, the only limitation to your valve timing map would be mechanical interferences
edit: I found a link where this has been talked about
