We are happy to present the proceedings of the second international conference on tangible and embedded interaction (TEI'08). The feedback we received in response to the first conference and the call of TEI'08 highlighted that there is a great interest in the state-of-the-art on Tangible Interaction, the research community and even beyond these topics. In its second year the tangible an embedded interaction conference is held in Bonn, Germany. The conference is in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI, with its proceedings to be archived in ACM's Digital Library. >With technological advances, computing has progressively moved beyond the desktop into new physical and social contexts. As physical artifacts gain new computational behaviors, they become reprogrammable, customizable, repurposable, and interoperable in rich ecologies and diverse contexts. They also become more complex, and require intense design effort in order to be functional, usable, and enjoyable. Designing such systems requiresinterdisciplinary thinking. Their creation must not only encompass software, electronics, and mechanics, but also the system's physical form and behavior, its social and physical milieu, and beyond. >These proceedings include original research work addressing HCI issues, design, use context, tools and technologies, as well as interactive art works in the domain of tangible and embedded interaction. The contributions range from concrete innovative solutions to inspiring novel ideas. The conference brings together this new field, providing a meeting ground for the diverse communities of research and practice involved with tangibles --- from computing, hardware, and sensor technology, to HCI, interaction design, and CSCW, to product- and industrial design and interactive arts. The conference provides with talks, interactive exhibitions, and posters appropriate presentation forms for different types of contributions.
