targets that grow as the cursor approaches; acquisition time follows the expanded rather than the original width even when expansion starts late in the movement.

In human-computer interaction, expanding targets refers to targets that grow as the cursor approaches; acquisition time follows the expanded rather than the original width even when expansion starts late in the movement. This meaning comes from McGuffin (2002) in Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.[1]
