Spatial microfluidic holographic integrated platform for label-free and high-dimensional analysis of cancer heterogeneity by Jiayi Shi, Huijing Teng, Ziyi Zhang, Yanping Liu, Dan Gao, Jianglei Di, Zijian Yang, Ping Su, Ying Tan, Jianshe Ma

“…Abstract The combination of quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) with imaging flow cytometry (IFC) enables label-free and multi-parameter single-cell analysis. Here, we present a simple yet powerful QPM-IFC platform, the spatial microfluidic holographic integrated (SMHI) platform, which uniquely integrates spatial hydrodynamic focusing microfluidics with digital holographic microscopy (DHM) to achieve high-fidelity single-cell QPM reconstruction without digital refocusing in 0.34 seconds, accounting for only 4.41% of the typical process ( ~ 7.71 seconds). …”

Presence in time: watching live and recorded sports in VR increases spatial, interpersonal, and temporal presence by Paul Frewen, Paul Frewen, Paul Frewen, Andrew Vincent

“…Although no differences were seen in overall satisfaction between the 3D-VR and standard 2D-tablet viewing formats, the more participants experienced a sense of presence while watching the games, the more they were satisfied with their sports viewing experience.DiscussionSports spectatorship in 3D-VR is associated with a heightening of the feeling of spatial presence (“being there”), interpersonal (i.e., social) presence (“being together”), and temporal presence (“this is happening now”), regardless of whether the games that one is watching are actually occurring in the present, or are instead camera recordings that were captured sometime in the past. …”
