What is Interaction Design?

The field of interaction design is concerned with all aspects of how an interactive product should function. Interaction design is incorporated into a product’s overall design from the very beginning to optimize the product functionality portion of the user experience. The interaction designer demonstrates a strong knowledge of heuristics when designing intuitive interfaces. Additional skills in communication, cognitive psychology, computer science and information technology are also required.
