1. A motion capture and analysis system comprising:

  • at least one motion capture element configured to couple with a user or piece of equipment,wherein said at least one motion capture element comprisesa memory;

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

    a first communication interface;

    a microcontroller coupled with said memory, said sensor and said radio, whereinsaid microcontroller is configured to 

    collect data that comprises sensor values from said sensor;



    store said data in said memory;



    transmit said data via said first communication interface;

    said microcontroller configured to transmit said data to a computer that comprisesa display;

    a second communication interface configured tocommunicate with said first communication interface to obtain said data;

    wherein said computer is coupled with said display and said secondcommunication interface, and wherein said computer is configured to 

    accept an input from a user that signifies a type of motion selected from a plurality of types of motion and recognize said at least one motion capture element associated with said user or said piece of equipment to associate said at least one motion capture element with an assigned location or assigned locations on said user or said piece of equipment based on said type of motion or 

    receive said data associated with said at least one motion capture element via said second communication interface and analyze said data to form motion analysis data and that signifies a type of motion selected from a plurality of types of motion and recognize said at least one motion capture element associated with said user or said piece of equipment to associate said at least one motion capture element with an assigned location or assigned locations on said user or said piece of equipment based on said type of motion;



    display said motion analysis data on said display; and

    , 

    store said data, or said motion analysis data, or both said data and said motion analysis data.
