Jaime Ruiz	Title : Performance During Multiple Target Expansion in Interfaces Performance During Multiple Target Expansion in Interfaces Abstract: Recent endpoint prediction techniques allow the identification of a target with approximately 40% accuracy and off by one target an additional 40% of the time. As a result of this work, we explore whether it is possible to expand multiple candidate targets in tiled target arrangements. We show that when multiple candidate targets are expanded, and particularly when expansion may occur around the wrong target, that the benefits of target expansion appear to vanish. As a result of this result, we argue that, for use in tiled target arrangements, endpoint prediction techniques need to be sufficiently accurate so as to make off-by one errors unlikely.
