How to build apps using 3D touch technology?
Back in the year 2015, Apple has launched the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, both of which has come with the innovation of 3D touch technology feature in it. As per the reports of Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing said that engineering-wise, the hardware for building a display that does what 3D touch does is unbelievably hard.
The organization has spent years in developing it, and now mobile app users have a new feature to play with this. It is of no surprise that Apple is using new 3D touch technology as the next generation of multi-touch, but what value does it really holds from the design standpoint?
Firstly, the technology works by detecting and measuring the pressure applied to the display. As showcased by Apple, this allows the developers for implementing navigational hierarchies in a different manner. Users can navigate with the help of email, contact list and social media much more intimately. By using the peek and pop gestures that operate on different levels of pressure users can apply a moderate amount of pressure to peek inside an item and then increase the pressure to pop the time into the foreground.
How to implement a 3D touch?
There are three main scenarios by which you can use the 3D touch technology in your mobile application services as:
· Pressure sensitive feature
Using the pressure sensor into your iPhone 6S, you can create some really cool features for your app. For example, a drawing app can help you to recognize and react to the pressure by adjusting the thickness of the lines that are being drawn, while the gaming app can use the pressure sensor to input the acceleration based on how hard the user pushes down the screen.
· Peek and pop feature
Peek and pop are the two most important gestures which can be used in virtually in any app as another dimension to in-app navigation. The best example would be the news app which lets users peek inside news items and pop those items which you can catch by your interests. Similarly, it can be used in the photo sharing or mobile shopping app, where the users can peek while scrolling with the help of thumbnails.

Quick
actions feature
As the name
implies, quick actions are the minimum requirement for your app to be listed
under the 3D touch technology calories. It is the simple feature that opens a
mini-menu which gives quick access to the in-app feature.

Conclusion
Implementing the 3D touch
technology into your mobile app services
can be very advantageous in terms of accessibility. By using these above three
main factors you can follow the tried and tested formulas and can get the
creative and truly innovative apps using these techniques.
