Metascope is the most recent invention by Boštjan Čadež. It is a video device that allows observation of tiny virtual creatures. The virtual environment where they live is closely tied to the surface where we're observing them by the means of the projection. When the device is aimed at a certain surface, it uses a camera and structured light to scan that surface. The device then uses those data to generate the environment where the creatures appear. These animated beings thus virtually respond to the irregularities of the projection surface and give the impression of living on it.

»Boštjan Čadež engages in the field of generated electronic images, video signal processing and creation of interactive user environments. He's considered one of the most innovative authors of mapped video projections. He's also an established author on the club culture scene, being a house VJ of regular events such as Zeleno sonce, Colours, Elements, Tetkine radosti, Astrodisco, Lost tapes and so on. His video game Line Rider, written in Flash, won him acclaim in the global market as well.« (Neven Korda) In 2007 for this very game he received IGDA, the award for innovation from the International Game Developers Association. He's participated in many intermedia projects by the artist Neven Korda and in projects produced by Aksioma. He's also an associate of the authors' collective Cirkulacija 2.
