Tel Aviv, Israel - Prime Sense, a developer of technology that can enable "3D vision" in electronic devices, has raised $20.4 million in its second round of venture capital financing, led by Canaan Partners.

Previous investors Gemini Israel Funds and Genesis Partners also participated.

Israel-based Prime Sense is developing what it says is low-cost 3D vision technology that will "enable intuitive full body interaction for gaming, gesture based interface and background replacement for video communication/chat and self generated content applications."

"In the years since the mouse was introduced, the complexity of consumer devices has evolved dramatically. In comparison, user interfaces remained under developed. Prime Sense's technology propels user interfaces straight into the future," said Prime Sense president Aviad Maizels.
