Helmet and Cannon - motion sensor idea (?)

Hi all

So, I am new to the forum, I browsed around (great works on display here), and I couldn't find a thread to help me. I apologize in advance if this is posted somewhere else

We are working on a Machiko costume, and we had this idea (probably crazy, I still don't know) that we could try to link the helmet to the cannon using some kind of motion sensor, so that the cannon turns to where I'm looking. I'm guessing this can be made using some kind of motion sensor linked to a servo-mechanism (sorry, my technical vocabulary is scarce), somewhat like an RC airplane.
Can this be made? We have the skills and tools to build electronic circuits, as long as they are not too complicated... and we have a schematic of the thing :)
Does anyone have an idea on how to make this? Has anyone ever made this?
Thank you all
Cheers
