1. A computer-implemented method for precise graphic user interface (GUI) interaction, the method comprising:
receiving a touch gesture on a displayed GUI, the touch gesture beginning at an icon and ending at a release location within the GUI; and
displaying an offset representation of a portion of the GUI obscured by the touch gesture while the touch gesture traverses from the icon to the release location, the displayed offset representation being tethered to the portion obscured by the touch gesture.
