Oh-No Banjo!

Bill Destler and Alex Lifschitz trying out Oh-No BanjoI don’t know how many of you have given Guitar Hero a try, but maybe you’ll be interested in this.

Bill Destler, president of the Rochester Institute of Technology, is a collector of antique banjos and loves technology. With the help of students in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, Destler is now able to enjoy both his passions at the same time.

Oh-No Banjo is a simulated banjo game based on the popular Guitar Hero.

If you aspire to be a Banjo Hero, maybe you can talk Destler out of a copy.

Here’s a video showing the game in action.
