What do Interaction Designers DO?

I have been trying to figure out what Interaction Design actually is.

There is a lot of talk these days about defining or redefining what Interaction Designers do... or maybe more specifically - what they make.

Maybe this is because no one really knows for sure if they ARE an interaction designer.
I suppose the obsession with categorization could be solved by creating some kind of all-encompassing definintion - but I wonder if the very act of definition will somehow limit designer's abilities to move throughout multiple areas and multiple disciplines at once...

..an ability that seems to be the most defining characteristic of the field so far - strangely enough.
