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.
