> a method to get "mouse hover" events working on touch devices

As far as I know, an example is Apple's 3D Touch.

I'm not convinced that employing 3D Touch to do the typical things of mouse hover is a good idea. Displaying help text to users being lost when they do a very specific gesture? It needs to be something that every user can immediately pick up on.

Maybe a stare-o-recognizer using the camera? If the user looks puzzled at a button, display text to explain ;-).
