1. A system for capturing motion performed by a user, the system comprising:
a plurality of sensor modules respectively attached to different body parts of a user, each of the sensor modules generating a sensing signal when the user makes moves, the each of the sensor modules including a microcontroller, at least an inertial sensor and a transceiver for communicating wirelessly with a computing device remotely located with respect to the sensor modules,
wherein a set of sensing data is produced from the sensing signal from the each of the sensor modules at a predefined frequency, the sensing data from at least one of the sensor modules are wirelessly received in the computing device to derive motion of the user performing the moves and render an avatar of the user moving in real time based on the derived motion.
