What if your iPhone or iPad could be a a 3D tracking, previz, and virtual production tool? It can! Joshua Davies, the founder and CEO of FXhome, introduces us to CamTrackAR, their iOS/iPadOS app that does just that. You may have already had a taste if you watched Apple's Spring Loaded event; CamTrackAR was one of the apps featured. Josh talks about why their appearance meant so much to him before digging in to that CamTrackAR can do for video creators who want to incorporate virtual backgrounds and 3D objects into their projects, and how it allows you to take your production workflow into the field.

Ken Ray has been doing a daily Apple news podcast since 2005, and along the way has been a part of a number of shows, both his own and others. That makes him the perfect person to discuss Apple's new podcast subscription service and what it means for the industry. Ken and Chuck dig deep into the topics of sponsorship, audience interaction and ownership, subscription services, and how it will or won't affect their shows. MacVoices Magazine, our free magazine on Flipboard, helps you do more with your Apple tech. Show Notes: Guests:Since May of 2005, Ken Ray has eaten, slept, and breathed Apple news and news related to Apple news in order to produce a daily Apple news show. and he does just that with Mac OS Ken, with content that includes most stories directly related to Apple, many stories indirectly related to Apple that stand a chance of affecting Apple's business or its users, and tangentially related stories that are funny. A slightly skewed, sometimes cynical, obsessive look at Apple news, five-days-a-week. Ken also produces The Checklist by SecureMac, a security-oriented podcast, and his newest show is In A Few Minutes. There are various ways you can contact him.
