[IxDA Discuss] What sets the 'best' interaction designers apart?

[Cian]

Not really. The medium could be flash, Processing, Visual Basic, or
whatever. As long as it shares the basic qualities of the medium
you're working in.
I'd be suspicious of a product designer who didn't work in some form
of 3D material, even if it was foam.

The key thing is interaction. I'm not sure that's something you can
explore creatively, if you are unable to work in some form of
interactive medium.
