The definition of ID is to create while things are like interacting with the thingy that you are like trying to like create… oh hell I been reading this website for like 2 years and still have no clue what it is you do. You need to create bradlauster.comfordummies.com

Tonight Robert Reimann gave a talk at my Experience Design class.

Here’s the definition of Interaction Design according to Cooper Interaction Design:

“Interaction Design is dedicated to defining the behavior of artifacts, environments and systems (i.e. products).

It is also concerned with defining the form of products as it relates to their behavior and use.”

I don’t know about a definition for ID but I have issues with your comment that design and art are two different things. If that were true, we would all be driving Pontiac Azteks.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that a man with a Website like this knows anything about usability, but he does. I think IAwiki defines ID best: "Interaction Design aims to integrate the physical and cognitive product interface into a successful whole in order to create understandable, usable and enjoyable computer-based products" More at http://www.iawiki.net/InteractionDesign

Someone once said (I think it was Marshall McLuhan):

“To define is to kill,
To suggest is to create.”

Ok, I’m probablly contradicting myself. (I once searched for various design definition, maybe this might help: http://www.creativehaus.com/designdefinitions )
