I built a similar thing for a talk my co-founder and I gave at TED, we needed to use a Gyroscope in an iPod Touch with an iPad and so I initially used WebSockets to proxy sensor readings at about 60Hz (from the ondevicemotion HTML5 APIs). It worked pretty well, but ultimately I ended up writing a bit of C to send the data over UDP directly to the client so that I could skip the web server.

Even then, everything failed on stage when there was too much interference to send anything over WiFi :(
