What is interaction design? Learn how interaction design is an important component within the umbrella of user experience (UX) design, what the five dimensions of interaction design are, as well as what an interaction designer does on a day-to-day basis in this topic definition video.

Interaction Design, often linked with software products like apps and websites, essentially involves crafting the dialogue between users and the products they interact with. It's about enabling users to achieve their objectives in the most efficient and user-friendly manner. This field encompasses a broad spectrum, including aesthetics, motion, sound, and the physical space in which interactions occur. To comprehend Interaction Design in-depth, we delve into the 5 crucial dimensions: Words, Visual Representations, Physical Objects, Time, and Behavior. Words and visuals play a vital role in conveying information to users, while physical objects and space influence the interaction. Time encompasses animations and sounds, providing feedback and enhancing the user experience. Behavior ties everything together, defining how users interact and react to the product.
