1. A motion capture circuit comprising a ribbon of a flexible material, a plurality of electrical connections forming a communication bus, a plurality of inertial measurement units (IMU's) electrically coupled to one another by said electrical connections along said ribbon, a microcontroller electrically connected with said plurality of IMU's, and a wireless transmitter adapted to wirelessly transmit data from said IMU's to at least one external data receiving and processing device, said wireless transmitter further comprises a wireless receiver capable of receiving data from said at least one external data receiving and processing device, said at least one external data receiving and processing device adapted to control at least one further electronic device based upon said data, said further electronic device being chosen from a gaming device, a home or automotive appliance, a computer game, a video game console or any other applications of an electronic device capable of receiving a signal, wherein said ribbin is elastically stretchable by at least 10%, said plurality of electrical connections being arranged along said ribbon in a crooked path,
wherein said ribbon is formed of a textile comprising stretchable yarns coupled to the electrical connections by weaving, wherein the motion capture circuit is configured to be contained within a seam of a pair of pants, said sems including for each pant leg of said pair of pants an outer lateral seam extending in a longitudinal direction and/or an inner medial seam extending in said longitudinal direction, each of said outer lateral seams and/or each of said inner medial seams including at least one of said plurality of IMU's disposed along a pant leg portion corresponding to the human wearer's femur and at least one of said plurality of IMU's disposeed along a pant leg portion corespondint to the human wearer's tibia and biula, and parallel to the wear's tibia and fibula, wherein said processor is configured for analyzing motion data regarding angle, yaw, pitch, location and acceleration of the human wearer's femurs and said human wearer's tibias and fibulas.
