Since we are targeting touchscreen devices, it is important to increase the touch target. On Inclusive Design Patterns, Heydon Pickering mentions that it’s still unclear what the magical size of a touch area is, different vendors recommend different sizes.
Pickering mentions Anthony Thomas’s article about finger-friendly experiences and Patrick H Lauke research for The W3C Mobile Accessibility Taskforce into touch / pointer target size, and the main takeaway is, “…to make each link larger than the diameter of an adult finger pad”.
