On this video Apple is giving an example of how this new technology works:

With iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, we’re introducing an entirely new dimension of interaction. For the first time, iPhone recognizes force. 3D Touch is the next generation of Multi-Touch.  It’s a clear example of how hardware and software designed together can create a singular experience.
