We just came across reports that motion-sensing specialist InvenSense has secured a second round of funding, a whopping $11 million, to develop technology for gaming and mobile handsets.

The firm has impressed investors and electronic manufacturers like Sanyo and is set to pursue market opportunities for motion sensing devices in mobile phones and in other consumer electronics. The company's gyroscopic technology is currently in use in digital cameras, camera phones, and computer mice.

Motion sensing tech for the games in your cellphone? Certainly a possibility that's worth looking forward to.

As for the gaming side of things, InvenSense better look towards Microsoft, as the other two contenders in the console wars already have motion sensing tech. It would seem a bit to rash for them to look to third parties for motion sensing this late in the game.
