1. A multi-sensor event analysis and tagging system comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors comprisinga first inertial sensor coupled to a player or a piece of equipment used by the player, and configured to measure one or more of a position, an orientation, a velocity, an angular velocity, an acceleration, and an angular acceleration of the player or said piece of equipment or both said player and said piece of equipment;

    a second sensor configured to measure motion of a projectile, wherein said second sensor comprises one or more of a video camera, a light gate, a radar, or a second inertial sensor coupled to said projectile; and

    ,an event analysis and tagging system comprisinga communications interface configured to receive sensor data from said plurality of sensors of a swing of said piece of equipment by the player in an attempt to contact said projectile;

    an event database;

    a processor coupled to said communications interface and configured toreceive said sensor data from said communications interface;

    synchronize said sensor data to a common time scale, forming synchronized sensor data;

    analyze said synchronized sensor data todetect an event or confirm said event based on said sensor data received from said plurality of said sensors or analyze one or more of text, audio, image, and video from a computer or server, or any combination of said detect, said confirm or said analyze to 

    determine one or more tags for said event and,calculatea projectile trajectory from said synchronized sensor data;

    a piece of equipment trajectory from said synchronized sensor data; and

    ,one or more metrics for said event from the relative spatial and temporal relationships between said projectile trajectory and said piece of equipment trajectory;

    store one or both of said synchronized sensor data and said one or more metrics for said event in said event database;

    store said one or more tags in said event database with said event; and

    ,publish said event and one or more of said one or more tags to a social media site.
