Meet the King

Atilla Baybara, the creative force behind Harikalar and Activation King. Part engineer, part showman, he has built his career at the edge of what's possible, projection-mapped stages, real-time AI that reads a crowd, photo experiences that go viral before the event wraps up.

He leads a multidisciplinary team of software developers, mechatronics specialists and industrial designers across three continents. For Atilla, the measure of great technology is simple: did it make someone's day?
