传感在普适计算系统的演进中发挥了重要作用，促成了当今许多引人注目的交互和普适体验。在本文中，我们主张拓展当前的传感范畴，将植物和动物等生物以及传统工具和数字设备都纳入其中。我们对十位经常与植物、鱼类、爬行动物和蜜蜂等生物打交道的人进行了实地研究，这些人依靠这些生物以及模拟仪器和数字传感器来推断环境条件并为未来的行动提供依据。我们的研究结果为日常生物标记提供了一个新视角，并且我们利用有机和非数字传感的视角来反思普适计算中当前的传感范式。最后，我们提出三个机会领域，以帮助构建普适传感未来的工作框架：（1）将传统技术和生物系统融入普适传感应用；（2）开发能传授新的“观察”方式的信息技术；（3）支持更丰富的元数据形式，通过利益相关者的行动、兴趣和关注点将他们联合起来。
Sensing has played a significant role in the evolution of ubiquitous computing systems, enabling many of today's compelling interactive and ubiquitous experiences. In this paper, we argue for expanding the current landscape of sensing to include living organisms such as plants and animals, along with traditional tools and digital devices. We present a field study of ten individuals who routinely work with living organisms such as plants, fish, reptiles and bees, and rely on these organisms as well as analog instruments and digital sensors to infer environmental conditions and inform future actions. Our findings offer a new perspective on everyday biomarkers, and we use the lens of organic and non-digital sensing to reflect on current sensing paradigms in ubiquitous computing. We conclude with three opportunity areas to help frame future work in ubiquitous sensing: (1) incorporating traditional technologies and living systems into ubiquitous sensing applications, (2) developing information technologies that teach new ways of 'seeing', and (3) supporting richer forms of metadata to unite stakeholders through their actions, interests and concerns.
