Hi Tahsin,

I think that's a great question, and one I've been wondering about myself
(at least how they're defined in the web world).

I've always felt that while both terms could describe a designer who defines
how users interact, or use, an application or web page, an *interface *designer
would likely be creating the visual designs for the UI. An
*interaction *designer
on the other hand, might not (they'd hand off to a visual designer).

Anyhow, I'd like to hear others weigh in on this, especially those in the
academic world.
