The Xbox Kinect meme landscape covers everything from the sensor's legendary inability to track movement to the low-quality, unintentional photos it snapped during games like Kinect Adventures. Originally released in 2010 for the Xbox 360, the Kinect was marketed as the future of controller-free gaming, but it quickly became an internet punchline for its laggy responsiveness and the frantic, uncoordinated way players looked while using it. In meme culture, it is often used to represent being watched by a low-resolution 'big brother' or to poke fun at the awkward physical poses gamers were forced into. It also frequently references the 'Kinect Mic' trope, representing anyone with a loud, static-filled, or echoing microphone in an online lobby.
