Cue, the camera that coaches the person holding it

Field notes

Cue’s homepage describes three capture modes: handing the phone to another person, propping it up and walking into frame, or using the front camera. In the handoff mode, the photographer receives one-word prompts such as “squat” and “step left”; in the prop mode, Cue counts the subject in. The page says the app takes a three-shot set and supplies a coaching card showing the sequence that produced the selected image.
