It was mentioned elsewhere in the thread that a not too thick layer of gummy bear could fool it, due to light passing through it, but getting reflected back from the back. Not sure how true is it though.
The most sophistication would probably be something like a PPG (optical reflection changes due to blood flow in certain bands). If the fake is thin enough the PPG would likely just shine through it. Skin resistance/humidity can be easily faked as well.
