Stephanie MICHAUD, Canada, and Melissa HARRINGTON, New Zealand

Innovative approaches to solving these challenges, such as positioning-as-a-service and augmented reality, are essential to the toolkit of the modern day smart surveyor. This paper seeks to present recent technological advancements and through real world examples, demonstrate how smart surveyors can leverage these technologies to facilitate land rights for all.
