To this very day, new innovations rely on the brilliant incite of Greek mathematician, physicist, Archimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC).  Archimedes’ principle which is fundamental to fluid mechanics, in simple terms says that if you place an object in a stationary fluid than the weight of the displaced fluid is equivalent to the weight of the object. A global team from Tel-Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University, University of British Columbia and Shandong University have used this principle to more fully reconstruct 3-D objects that have challenging shapes. The team of computer scientists and engineers applied Archimedes’ fluid displacement principal...

Snapchat’s introduction video to Snap Map seems to position the benefits of this new app as a way of collecting common Snaps from a particular location or event.
