FlavoMetrics – Jose Martinez Castro

Flavometrics

FlavoMetrics stands at the forefront of biodesign innovation, offering an interactive digital platform for modeling the temporal qualities of Flavobacteria. With its open-source framework, FlavoMetrics empowers biodesigners to explore and manipulate the vibrant, angle-dependent colors of these marine microorganisms within a dynamic digital environment. Developed collaboratively by a multidisciplinary team, FlavoMetrics integrates custom setups, Python scripts, and Blender3D to simulate angle-dependent color data and create an intuitive interface for design exploration.

Through my roles as a software developer, 3D designer, and interaction designer, I worked in shaping and refining the digital application of FlavoMetrics in Blender 3D, bridging the gap between biodesign and digital technology. Driven by a commitment to exploration and collaboration, FlavoMetrics underwent rigorous user studies with biodesigners to evaluate its applicability and implications.
