First Claim
1. A method for monitoring movement of a user while performing an exercise, comprising:
- measuring, within a position monitor, an angular movement of the position monitor;
generating, within the position monitor, positional information based on the measured movement of the position monitor, wherein the positional information is associated with an exercise performed by a user and wherein the positional information describes a movement of a portion of the user'"'"'s body relative to one of the user'"'"'s joints;
transmitting the positional information over a wireless interface to a receiver while the user is performing the exercise;
receiving the positional information at the receiver; and
generating real-time sensory feedback based on the received positional information, the sensory feedback describing performance of the user in completing the exercise.

Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a system for monitoring movement of a user while performing an exercise includes a position monitor, a receiver, and a display generator. The position monitor is capable of generating positional information based on a movement of a user. The movement is associated with performance of an exercise by the user. The position monitor is further capable of wirelessly transmitting the positional information to a remote component. The receiver is capable of receiving the positional information from the position monitor and communicating the positional information to the display generator. The display generator is capable of providing, based on the positional information, sensory feedback relating to the performance of the exercise by the user.
