Given the competitive nature of high tech entertainment, it is not likely you will get facts about what products are coming in future years. Anyone who gets that information is likely under a non-disclosure agreement.

What you can get, is information on the underlying technologies that are here or available in the near term that will support the evolution of high tech entertainment. I like to scan through Scientific American and Wired magazines when I'm at my local library.

Potential for new technology is often revealed in scientific journals or ACM, ANSI or IEEE papers too. A visit to your local university library will give you access to these materials.

When I was an employee of a high tech company, I had the pleasure of sitting in on presentations from one of the R&D guys. It blew my mind the stuff he talked about. Now most of it has been realized.

The deal with this is that R&D for any major high tech company is going to be Researching and Developing hundreds of different ideas at any given time. What makes it to market is only a small percentage of what's being worked on. You also have to realize that sometimes a company can be in the middle of developing something and hit a snag and decide to scratch the project all together or go a different direction.

The answer is really that technology that won't be here for several years is in a phase of R&D where all you can do is speculate about it. If enough development has been done to the point where articles are written on the facts of the tech, then it's going to be pretty close to being finished.

since there is no way to see what a particular company is doing because of obvious secrecy, sites like

Discovery News
Science Magazine's Podcast
Science News's Technology Section
Science Daily Computers & Math Section
google news searches like this one for science news
Major newspapers' science section like New York Times Science

can be helpful... or specifically any of the technology sites:

Cnet News
CNN Tech News
Tech News World
ZDNet

they also reveal what is emerging...

and shows like Cranky Geeks which scour the news for you and discuss new technologies and future technologies can be very informative. They stream their show live and have archives you can watch online.

let's not forget that many companies put videos on YouTube.com like the one on holographic televisions that is featured on my Televisions page. that is future technology as well.

you may or may not be able to list a specific company, but sometimes these sources will say who is looking into something, when that company releases that data as a teaser.

it isn't hard to find information once you know where to look. =)
