AB But in the end, it is the science that matters. This shiny new vehicle would be but a digital illusion without content of the highest quality. I look forward to fascinating reports that clarify and deepen the mystery that is vision. I have enormous confidence in the dedication and skill of our editorial board. With their efforts, and your own, the Journal of Vision will achieve its goal, to break down the barriers of time, space, and energy that separate scientists from their science.In this, our first issue, we have taken a conservative approach to the adoption of advanced technologies and features. We have designed a simple interface that places the articles at the fore, and that relegates all else to an accessible but unobtrusive background. We have only assumed that the reader possesses the most widespread and well-tested access tools and technologies. However, our digital aspect equips us with a fluid and evolving nature that will allow us to optimize our interface and to seamlessly integrate new tools and technologies as they emerge. Examples in prospect are SVG (scalable vector graphics) for scalable high quality representation of graphics, MathML, for standardized representation and rendering of sophisticated mathematical expressions, and XML, a general, standardized means of representing complex digital objects such as scientific articles. PNG and other advanced graphic formats will allow more accurate color rendition of visual stimuli. The DOI, mentioned earlier, will allow efficient cross-referencing of articles in other online publications. And of course, as we enter this new age of information, the future will bring digital magic as yet undreamed of. We are ready.
