Computer games often do. Here’s a link to something cool.
Computer graphics – both software and hardware – often use spatial partitioning e.g. BSP; there’s neat logic in Imagination and Intel chips termed tile or zone rendering, for example.
Code I’ve seen tends to lean towards fixed resolution dividing – octtrees, typically – rather than variable size buckets, but I’d still consider them ‘variants’ of R-trees.
