A Few Definitions of IxD
“Interaction Design (IxD) is the discipline of defining the behavior of products and systems that a user can interact with. The practice typically centers around complex technology systems such as software, mobile devices, and other electronic devices. However, it can also apply to other types of products and services, and even organizations themselves.”
- From Wikipedia
“Interaction design refers to the shaping of interactive products and services with a specific focus on their use.”
- From interaction-design.org
Interaction design defines the structure and behaviors of interactive products and services and user interactions with those products and services.
- From the IxDA
