    Cover Page Warm-Up: The paper presents the concept of the bubble lens which is actually a new targeted acquisition strategy which treats the restrictions associated with the Bubble Cursor in order to boost the speed as well as precision concerning obtaining little; compact targets precisely the targets in which the Bubble Cursor tends to degenerates towards the point cursor. As part of an initial research, we discover the Bubble Cursor carried out inadequately once targets experienced a very good size smaller compared to 10 pixels. Making use of this limit for Bubble Lens within a 2nd research, we discovered that the Bubble Lens considerably outperformed the Bubble Cursor, reducing motion time period simply by 10.2% as well as error…
