Wiimote Project

I think this is so GREAT.  My professor just gave us a final project where we have to build a circuit that measures the different orientations of the head.  Yaw, pitch, roll...so Three angles.  I was online looking for magnetometers and accelerometers and realized it would be way out of my price range.  I then thought about my Wii remote and after some research came across this page. 

I guess my first question is can this project be successful by integrating the wii remote into my circuit?  the project is worth 40% of the grade!
