Basically the principle it works on is simple if not the technology itself. The tips of the fingers send out weak electrical impulses that when interfered by objects give the finger the location of the object. Something like electrical sonar. The Intel researchers are presently calling it Pre-Touch. Wired.com has nicknamed it "Sixth-sense" which does have a catchier tune to it.
