Sup wants you to play cameraman for your friends

For those of you that are comfortable handing over live control of your Android device’s camera to your friends, Sup is here for you and free in the Google Play Store.

Sup lets you choose who can control your camera, it actually requires you to accept incoming requests before anyone can see through your camera. From there, things are pretty simple, your friend swipes up, down, left or right on their display, and you get a notification to move your device in that direction.

In addition to taking commands from your friends, letting them see what you see by telling you what direction to look in, they can request a swap to your front facing camera as well. Selfie mode basically turns the experience into a one way video conference, with that ephemeral feeling of Snapchat or the like.

There is absolutely no way to talk about Sup without thoughts of privacy coming to mind. Certainly, the developers have thought this through to protect us from unauthorized access to our cameras, but I wonder how many are comfortable simply handing over this level of access and control, even under these strict circumstances.

What do you say, is Sup the app for you?
