Our Mission

Hydra Hardware exists to empower creative agencies and end-users to deploy magical XR and AI experiences with hardware that just works. We believe creative talent shines brightest when free to focus on what they do best: crafting extraordinary user experiences.

Our Story

Hydra Hardware was founded by Cederik Haverbeke, who recognized a critical gap throughout his career: creative teams are most effective when liberated from technical infrastructure concerns.

With a passion for XR and AI technologies, Cederik created Hydra Hardware to unlock creative potential by providing ready-to-deploy hardware solutions. Our travel-ready deployment platforms are designed to be as portable as they are powerful, enabling teams to bring immersive experiences directly to clients anywhere in the world.
