1. A motion capture element comprising:

  • a memory;

    a sensor configured to capture any combination of values associated with an orientation, position, velocity, acceleration of said at least one motion capture element;

    a radio;

    a microcontroller coupled with said memory, said sensor and said radio, wherein said microcontroller is configured toestimate an initial orientation based on motion capture data from two points in time;

    collect data that comprises sensor values from said sensor;

    detect a first value from said sensor values having a first threshold value; and

    ,detect a second value from said sensor values having a second threshold value within a time window;

    signify a prospective event;

    compare said prospective event to a characteristic signal associated with a typical event and eliminate any false positive events;

    signify a valid event if said prospective event is not a false positive event;

    save said valid event in said memory that comprises information within an event time window as said data;

    store said data in said memory; and

    ,transmit said data via said radio.
