'''Kaleida Labs''' formed in 1991 to produce the [[multimedia]] [[cross-platform]] '''Kaleida Media Player''' and the [[object oriented]] [[scripting language]] '''ScriptX''' that was used to program its behavior. The system was aimed at the production of interactive [[CD ROM]] titles, an area of major effort in the early 1990s. When the system was delivered in 1994, it had relatively high system requirements and memory footprint, and lacked a native [[PowerPC]] version on the [[Apple Macintosh|Mac]] platform. Around the same time, rapid changes in the market, especially the expansion of the [[World Wide Web]] and the [[Java programming language]], pushed the interactive CD market into a niche role. The Kaleida platform failed to gain significant traction and the company was closed in 1996.
