Research on touch target size

I had an action to contact the authors of a CSUN presentation on touch 
target size to ask about their research.  Jennifer Ismirle answered and 
is willing to answer questions next week if we have any.  She sent me 
her slide deck.

The research is on accessible voting on an Android tablet.  She quoted 
other research as the basis for the size and spacing that they used in 
the study.  Remember how we started with 9mmx9mm? They used 20x20mm.  I 
followed her research, which led me to other research etc. One study 
recommends 30mmx30mm for people with disabilities.  Another showed at 
least 20x20 with reduced inaccuracy at larger sizes, but less significant.

I started a wiki page.  I encourage others to add any of the information 
they have from.
