Have you seen the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 Camera? It only has a 3x zoom, but it’s quite remarkable- it least on the 3” 3D screen. I just wish I had a 3D TV for mine.

Pentax 4x20
I can see usefulness as a hiking optic, similar to the Leica Monovid.
Small, lightweight, 4x for wider view, 16x for more detail.
My issues would be quality of optics, difficulty of use-a clever idea but maybe too impractical.
I remember when my daughter and son in law were planning to hike into the GrandCanyon,
and weight was such a concern. I offered my Papillio but they thought that was too heavy.

The weirdest?
Not bad but the weirdest ever -and still on the market in high numbers as second hand surplus- must still be those East German military CZJ EDF 7x40. Specced and tested to be radiation resistant.
You could finally look through them, seven times magnified, right into a nuclear explosion at ten times the lethal radiation dose for humans while it's special yellowish tinted glass would remain above 50 percent transparency level. That's weird isn't it?

How about trench or periscope binoculars? https://bw-schmitti.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/IMG_5017.jpg
A friend bought one some years ago. IIRC the objective spacing was dependent on the IPD setting.
The three-dimensionality in a wooded area was very impressive.
