Another interesting chip is the Simblee,
for "simple bluetooth low energy"
(a quick search is recommended)

Strong points:
- small
- low power Bluetooth 
- low latency communication 
- embedded micro-controller with 29 GPIOs
- Arduino programming
- with a special mobile application framework
  (the app is streamed from the Simblee to the phone)
- programming FTDI transceiver is not fake... 

Combined with a BNO055 (and a small battery), 
it could make a very nice little head tracker.
