The main different

What is interaction design(IXD)? What is the different between product design and IXD?
Mike, our previous IXD programme director answered these questions in a pretty clear way.
Product design focuses on user, emphasis on "use", so product is the mediator; IXD focuses on "person", emphasis on "social practice", and technology is the mediator.
That's why interaction designers don't make physical products mostly. Their design which is much wider than product can be a web, a method, a service, etc.
