How hard would it be to configure an accelerometer and a gyroscope

Pretty easy with arduino, not sure about the gyroscope but I'm sure getting an accelerometer would be easy enough. You could get a bluetooth module, too, and libraries for interfacing with them will be easy to get hold of.

Nice try, but we're not giving up our inertial control secrets that easily, Kim Jong Un.

6 dof gyro/acellerometer unit would do it.

I'd use an esp8266 and wifi not bluetooth. Probably do it in android but it's just as easy in Apple.

I'd start off with a TCP handshake then maybe use a passphrase or something. Or maybe authenticate by Mac address. Then start a udp stream. I'd let the server keep the sync after some ntp maybe. You're not gonna have alot of parameters so you can literally make your own datagram. Then Recieve, unpack and display to the UI objects on the phone.

Theres also 1000000x examples on the internet how to do this because of drone tards.

There are many modules (especially those with motion engines) that already come with working demos to the pc via serial.
