Definition:

Interaction Design is the discipline of defining the behavior of products and systems that a user can interact with. Through the research of interactive design, users are more satisfied with the product or systems that interact with the users. In order to gain satisfying experience, the design needs to understand who is the user and what is the product needed for.

Ipod and Iphone is a good example of Interactive Design.



Playing "Game" is also a good example of Interactive Design.
