As to why I think interface design is a subset of interaction
design, it is because interface design without the underlying
interaction is graphic design. You can, however, have interaction
design without any interface at all, although it is unlikely.
So then I have to ask: what is interface design without the
underlying visuals or graphic design?
Not sure I understand the question. Almost all traditional interfaces
are visual in nature, although there are voice interfaces that are all
sound. And there are interfaces that are purely industrial design, and
I'm not sure something like a blinking LED is graphic design per se.
If you meant to ask what is interaction design without visuals, there
are many examples of sound, haptic, and mechanical responses that are
triggered by human action that are controlled by digital systems and
thus have interaction design but not visual design, involved.
