MSc Thao has produced two practical applications: touch keypad used in lift rooms and touch-sensitive keyboards for industrial systems. These touch-sensitive keyboards include 16 keys to communicate with users. Each touch key is integrated with LED and speaker to create sound and light effects. Users simply touch the touch keys to perform the corresponding function.

The advantage of these products is that users can easily manipulate, do not worry about electric shock even when the hands are wet, the keyboard is clearly displayed, not afraid of blurring, not afraid of keystroke . Price also lower than mechanical keyboard.

MSc Thao said that the touch keyboard used in lift rooms has been tested in a number of companies and works quite well. This topic has been tested and accepted by the Science Council of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology and waiting for technology transfer.
