There was something like this in Windows or at least an add on to 
Logitech drivers I've had in the past.  Don't recall the activation but 
it may have been (if the mode was selected) that you'd just move the 
mouse and it would briefly be large before getting small again.

Could also be that it was on a laptop where the LCD display made seeing 
a white mouse difficult (earlier days of colour LCD displays).

This sort of thing is not a great leap in UI.  But I guess someone 
realized that when people can't see the cursor, moving ("shaking") it is 
the surest way since the eye is drawn to movement.  So make it big 
briefly when shaken.  Just don't stir.
