A system and method for facilitating target acquisition is presented. Upon detecting a triggering event to display expanded targets, i.e., icons representing applications, services, folders, and the like, the computer system generates expanded targets and displays them for target acquisition. The expanded targets typically include their source target, and are expanded such that a user may more easily acquire that source target. According to one embodiment, the expanded targets are generated as Voronoi polygons. Alternatively, the expanded targets may be generated as polygons based on a weighted distance based on the area previously assigned to the expanded target.
