An orientation and position tracking system and method in three-dimensional space and over a period of time utilizing multiple inertial and other sensors for determining motion parameters to measure orientation and position of a moveable object. The sensors, for example vibrational and angular velocity sensors, generate signals characterizing the motion of the moveable object. The information is received by a data acquisition system and processed by a microcontroller. The data is then transmitted to an external data reception system (locally based or a global network), preferably via wireless communication. The information can then be displayed and presented to the user through a variety of means including audio, visual, and tactile. According to various embodiments, the present invention provides for a motion tracking apparatus and method for implementation in motion systems including systems to teach motion to a group and for body motion capture and analysis systems.

Methods and systems for interpreting and processing data streams from a plurality of sensors on a motion-capture device are described. In various embodiments, an engine module of the system receives a raw input data stream comprising motion and non-motion data. Metadata is associated with data segments within the input data stream to produce a stream of data profiles. In various embodiments, an interpreter converts received data profiles into non-contextual tokens and/or commands recognizable by an application adapted for external control. In various embodiments, a parser converts received non-contextual tokens into contextual tokens and/or commands recognizable by an application adapted for external control. In various embodiments, the system produces commands based upon the non-contextual and/or contextual tokens and provides the commands to the application. The application can be a video game, software operating on a computer, or a remote-controlled apparatus. In various aspects, the methods and systems transform motions and operation of a motion-capture device into useful commands which control an application adapted for external control.
