Innovative Artifact - Rock Band by Harmonix


Rock Band is a video game consisting of several musical instruments that function much like the real thing. This example of discontinuous innovation (Wylant) provides a unique experience that is unparalleled in gaming history. Non-musicians eliminate the need to learn how to play a real instrument by virtually simulating the experience.

A discontinuous innovation like this one can also be seen as disruptive (Wylant) because it facilitates the practice of making music which otherwise would be done by using pre-existing instruments.
