这期特刊通过传感器的兴起来研究中介沟通。传感器越来越多地出现在我们携带的手机、我们驾驶的汽车以及我们居住的家庭和社区中。在这篇特刊的介绍中，我们定义了传感器介导的通信（SMC），并认为传感器的嵌入式，自动化和数据化的性质掩盖了传感器机制，网络和基础设施中的故障和偏见。本期文章集探讨了SMC在各种背景和案例中的应用，包括市政基础设施，社区，卫生，工业和国内。它们代表了对语音助手、自跟踪应用程序、自动驾驶汽车、健身游戏、家庭医疗保健以及城市、土著和农村社区的市政传感器网络的研究。通过它们，我们看到了传感技术启动、转换和维持中介通信的不同方式。它们共同代表了计算机媒介传播研究的一个重要进展。
This special issue examines mediated communication through the rise of sensors. Sensors are increasingly in the phones we carry, in the cars we drive, and throughout the homes and communities in which we live. In this introduction to the special issue, we define sensor-mediated communication (SMC) and argue the embedded, automatic, and datafied nature of sensors belie the glitches and biases in sensor mechanisms, networks, and infrastructure. The collection of articles in this issue explores SMC across a variety of contexts and cases, including municipal infrastructure, community, health, industry, and the domestic. They represent studies of voice assistants, self-tracking apps, self-driving cars, fitness games, home health care, as well as municipal sensor networks in urban, indigenous, and rural communities. Across them all we see the different ways through which mediated communication is initiated, transformed, and maintained by sensing technologies. Together they represent an important evolution in the study of computer-mediated communication.
