We are a collective focused on interaction design and education. Equipped with a wide range of tools and skills from each end of the spectrum, we meet in the middle with interactive works. HAYTA's specialties cover UI/UX, interaction design, art direction, creative technologies, 3D modeling & animation, augmented reality, virtual reality, web technologies and game design.


Our current engagement is with tackling the process of building interaction and making technology accessible and understandable for users, audience. Because we believe that the impressiveness of any work shouldn't be relying on the fact that the user doesn't know how the technology behind it works. Especially if it's several years old, mass-produced, and available as a consumer product; while simultaneously, various creation tools support the hardware with their own APIs and libraries on the software side.

Currently based in Linz (AT) & Istanbul (TR), HAYTA provides:

  • Workshops and lecture series on building interaction and interactive technologies.
  • Interactive field installations, storefront & event setups, alongside web experiences.
  • Consulting services, support for R&D and project conceptualization.
