Interaction design is the design of interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services.

Interaction design‘s main focus is on behavior and then form. It’s also focused on satisfying the desires of the consumer.

Interaction design and User-experience design facilitate interactions between people and their environment.

Interaction designs concern the interaction between users and computers and consist of the following:
(human-computer interaction)

1. User-experience Designs
   User-experience designs concern the user-facing aspects of a software or system.
2. Interface Designs
   Interface design separates the web design coding, users and design (interface). Interface design allows programmers, or product designers work seperately.
3. Behavioral Designs
   Behavioral design communicates how the product (website or consumer product) should respond and communicate to users.
4. Conceptual Designs
   Conceptual design looks at the what is valuable for the users.

The interaction designer first investigates what is most valuable for users by thinking conceptually, after that the behaviour gets detailed, how should the user fulfil his goals and finally at an interface level.
