Tangible computing refers to the use of physical objects as user interfaces for interacting with digital information. This approach aims to take advantage of the human ability to grasp and manipulate physical objects in order to facilitate collaboration, learning, and design. Characteristics of tangible user interfaces include the coupling of physical representations to underlying digital information and the embodiment of mechanisms for interactive control.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1145/1347390.1347392 |chapter=Tangible bits |title=Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Tangible and embedded interaction - TEI '08 |year=2008 |last1=Ishii |first1=Hiroshi |pages=xv |isbn=978-1-60558-004-3 |s2cid=18166868 }}</ref> There are also five defining properties of tangible user interfaces, including the ability to multiplex both input and output in space, concurrent access and manipulation of interface components, strong specific devices, spatially aware computational devices, and spatial reconfigurability of devices.<ref name="KimMaher2008">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=Mi Jeong |last2=Maher |first2=Mary Lou |title=The Impact of Tangible User Interfaces on Designers' Spatial Cognition |journal=Human–Computer Interaction |date=30 May 2008 |volume=23 |issue=2 |pages=101–137 |doi=10.1080/07370020802016415 |s2cid=1268154 }}</ref>
