Opera Fingertouch proposes a solution for the ‘fat finger’
UX Interaction Design March 5th, 2009
This is an interesting solution to the problems of small form elements and pages with lists of text links. Instead of clicking to select or accidentally clicking a link when trying to zoom or pan, clicking zooms into the specific area controls, making them larger targets. Currently, it adds an extra click even if you DID hit the right thing and could get confusing with device-specific controls which attempt to accomplish the same. But add a little more evolution – as in finger-hover detection – this fish might walk on land.
