[Tex/LaTex] How to vertically-center the text of the cells

tablesvertical alignment

I have a simple table as follows:

\begin{table*}
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|p{2in}|}
    ...
    ...
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{The factors the camera solver depends on to evaluate the rules.}
    \label{table:factors}
\end{table*}

How is it possible to vertically-center the text of the cells?

    It is practically a big lie that \LaTeX\ 
    makes you focus on the content without
    bothering about the layout.}


\newcommand{\Row}{%
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{newton}&
    \frac{a+b}{a-b}=0&
    \int_a^b f(x)\, \textrm{d}x=\frac{b-a}{b+a}&
