Touching multiple web elements simultaneously brings out area with magnification for clarification of intended target – name of feature? When you touch multiple web elements simultaneously, perhaps due to the widgets being too small, and/or too close together, the area around where you touched pops out, giving you a magnified view of that area. I suppose this is so that you can clarify which interface control that you intended to touch.

Does anyone happen to know what this feature is called?

Eye tracking interfaces have a similar feature called “Gaze Clarification” for selecting small targets. As you look at your intended target, a portion of the screen that includes that target becomes magnified, and the zoom level keeps increasing and increasing as you home in on your desired spot.



Thanks.
It's enable-link-disambiguation-popup.


  It’s a handy feature and is now available in Chrome OS. 
  
  Since this is experimental, you’ll have to enable it, which is an easy process. 
  
  Simply type chrome://flags in the Chrome OS browser and find the enable-link-disambiguation-popup option. 
  
  Enable it and restart the browser to activate the feature.
