Just a quick-n-dirty proof of concept of how it is possible to use the device's barometer to simulate Apple's "force touch" interaction. There are two major problems: all the flaps (I have a Z3 compact) have to be sealed for the pressure to change when pressing the screen and since the flaps are not 100% sealed after a few seconds the pressure goes down even if you keep pressing on the screen (air goes out). Other than that it's a pretty cool interaction.

Used this plugin for accessing the barometer on Cordova:
