The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Precise selection techniques for multi-touch screens (2006, methodology): “More recently, Albinsson and Zhai [2] explored several onscreen widgets for increasing precision while selecting small targets on a touch screen.”
Shift: a technique for operating pen-based interfaces using touch (2007, methodology): “Albinsson and Zhai [1] use widgets to fine-tune a finger’s selection point by zooming, reducing CD gain, and discrete pixel-by-pixel adjustment.”
The generalized perceived input point model and how to double touch accuracy by extracting fingerprints (2010, background): “Zooming-based techniques reduce occlusion (e.g., [2], TapTap [15]) although they cannot fully resolve it.”
Direct-touch vs. mouse input for tabletop displays (2007, background): “However, Zhai [43] has recently argued that IP is lacking in several aspects, and incorrectly reduces a multi variable measurement into a single measure.”
Back-of-device interaction allows creating very small touch devices (2009, background): “In order to help users acquire small targets, researchers have proposed a variety of ways of enlarging targets, such as by zooming manually (e.g., double tapping [1, 18] or rubbing [14]) or automatically ( expanding targets [12]).”
Lucid touch: a see-through mobile device (2007, background): “Several researchers have attempted to overcome the occlusion problem, while allowing input with fingers, though each has had limitations [1, 5, 10, 12, 19, 27, 29].”
