Claim 12:
13. A body motion capture system comprising:
a first tracker to be positioned on a first portion of a user's body, the first tracker including:
one or more sensors to generate and store orientation data of the first tracker in a first buffer;
a first microcontroller to pull a sample of the buffered orientation data of the first buffer and place the sample of the buffered orientation data of the first buffer into a first data packet sent outbound from the first tracker at a time slot assigned to the first tracker as referenced against a first tracker clock signal;

a second tracker to be positioned on a second portion of the user's body, the second tracker including:
one or more sensors to generate and store orientation data of the second tracker in a second buffer;
a second microcontroller to pull a sample of the buffered orientation data of the second buffer and place the sample of the buffered orientation data of the second buffer into a second data packet sent outbound from the second tracker at a time slot assigned to the second tracker as referenced against a second tracker clock signal; and

a link connected to the first and second trackers, the link to:
receive the first data packet from the first tracker;
acknowledge receipt of the first data packet with a first outbound confirmation packet including an instruction to modify timing of a next data packet to be sent outbound from the first tracker to more closely match the time slot assigned to the first tracker as referenced against a link clock signal;
receive the second data packet from the second tracker; and
acknowledge receipt of the second data packet with a second outbound confirmation packet including an instruction to modify timing of a next data packet to be sent outbound from the second tracker to more closely match the time slot assigned to the second tracker as referenced against the link clock signal.
