The MPU-6500 is a 6-axis Motion Tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and a Digital Motion Processor (DMP) all in a small 15x25mm board
Digital-output X-, Y-, and Z-axis angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) with a user-programmable fullscale range of /-250, /-500, /-1000, and /-2000 degree /sec and integrated 16-bit ADCs
Digital-output X-, Y-, and Z-axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of /-2g, /-4g, /-8g and /-16g and integrated 16-bit ADCs
Auxiliary master I2C bus for reading data from external sensors (e.g. magnetometer)

Motion Processing
Internal Digital Motion Processing (DMP) engine supports advanced MotionProcessing and low power functions such as gesture recognition using programmable interrupts.
In addition to the angular rate, this device optionally outputs the angular position (angle).
Low-power pedometer functionality allows the host processor to sleep while the DMP maintains the step count.
Applications
Motion-enabled game and application framework
Location based services, points of interest, and dead reckoning
