TED sixth sense technology

With a gizmo similar to this and the technology similar to BMW's vehicle avoidance software you could get the perfect line drawn on the inside of your face shield while doing track days or racing.  It could take into account all the other riders perfect lines and current travel when projecting yours and adjust each to account for similar goals like being first or training to increase lean angle for example. It could even show you max lean angle based on current projections.  Just think of it, based on all the riders' current speeds and projections (things like bike type, bike weight, rider size, rider position, dyno results, past races on that track, weather conditions, tire temp...etc) it could determine things like at this turn your best line maybe to be wider than you think or tighter etc Or maybe to could have signaled to Takahashi that he needed to decelerate buy turning his line red or yellow, but you see the point.  Hayden could have been warned of impact etc.

that stuff has actually been around for a bit...that is why it made it into the movie "Minority Report". The video technology has been there for a bit too (since the 90's). It's just become cheaper (as they say...$350) for people to get the components to put it all together.

I was thinking something like on the NFL games; the line would be superposed on the face shield but appears to be right on the ground in front of you.  More like a lane divider on the streets today but only you see it.  You just would have to try to ride on it.
