The well-known Xbox is typically used for entertainment and gaming, but they are also used for motion detection.

The Kinect is an Xbox motion-sensor device that allow users to control their consoles using physical movements.

 Kinects were originally released in 2010, but were overshadowed in popularity by the Wii’s motion-sensing technology.

The Kinect was discontinued in 2017, and then brought back in 2021 to be used as motion control technology for a TV set called, SkyGlass.

It appears the Kinect is also now being used at Walmart - for less fun purposes. 

The comments section went wild and several other users started to create their own videos exposing this humourous use of technology.

Several of the comments have been bashing this ingenious surveillance system, although one user mentioned that they're actually really decent cameras and can be used for body tracking. 

Another mentioned that they're super cheap and very high quality with a high field of view.

Lastly, one user said: "Those are security cameras those are thermal cameras even the ghosts can't shoplift."
