Displaying AHRS attitude and heading

I'm keen to display the attitude, Heading and accelleration values from a 9dof gyro/hearing/accelerometer board. I can get the values in over a serial comms port but some help with developing the display would be appreciated!

Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuHRCnpc ... re=related

Any pointers please.
