mpu 6050 to trigger video

Hello all and happy new year.
Im after some suggestions , ideas and any useful input.
Im trying to setup a small system that runs a mpu 6050 sensor so it changes the video that is being projected depending on the direction the sensor is facing.

My options so far i think,
Hardware,
1 sensor to arduino to mini pc to projector
2 sensor to pi to projector

software
1 I could run arduino code to send 12c to mini pc which could trigger video event on pc running MAx or processing?
2 Pi can read sensor and then what software could be run on that to play video?

I want the lightest options available so it would be a arduno nano, intel pc stick and micro projector or pi zw andf micro projector possibly lightest best choice.

Its the software and code that im not sure what to do. Any help assistance will be very appreciated .
