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.
