Semantic Pointing

Validation level: 0. Unspecified

Semantic pointing improves selecting small elements. It separates what is visible on the screen from the actual size of the elements based on what is relevant to the user. When a user wants to select something, it becomes bigger to the computer while it stays the same for the user.
