Mobile travel assistant for backpacker communities

Jeff Axup, a PhD student at the University of Queensland and former backpacker has been studying backpacker culture and communication as part of his research into the technology needs of so-called mobile communities. ABCnet reports.

"In a recent study Axup shadowed a group of backpackers and documented their behaviour as they toured Brisbane, took a boat cruise and visited an animal park.

The results of his study are published on the ePrintsUQ website and will be submitted for publication in coming weeks."
