"After 25 years of creating many advanced technologies and products, I believe that SkyPad with the Contact-Free sensor technology is so far my best creation," shared Hung Nguyen. "Not only is it the most innovative and challenging, but also SkyPad is the most meaningful product that it will help millions of people out there."
