Watch a demonstration of the Hydra middleware
Four videos are available which demonstrate some of the possibilities of the Hydra middleware: Energy Efficiency This video shows a demonstration of the The HydraGizer Energy Efficiency Demonstrator at CeBIT 2010 in Hannover. An Android-Phone, iPhone and a summary GUI are used to show the current energy consumption of different common household appliances instantly. Watch the video here. Healthcare In this healthcare scenario, the Hydra middleware makes it possible to integrate heterogeneous devices to a complex network thus optimising home healthcare services and self-management.

Home scenario A video of the demonstration of the Hydra middleware at CeBIT 2008. Watch the video here.
Why not see the on-line Hydrademo? You can turn on and off devices and follow the energy consumption in real time. Just click on the picture and you see it!
