Bi2 / Divideable Binocular

In scenarios such as concerts, sports events and family picnics we often see one well prepared or experienced individual passing around his binoculars among his friends or family. But as the instrument changes hands, one might miss that match winning goal in a game of football or a stunning view of a valley with the clouds momentarily clearing on a walk in the hills.

Say hello to the Bi2. This roof prism binocular is designed to be detached into two separate monoculars and shared between two users. The detaching action is a simple and natural gesture. It encourages the cultural act of sharing and is symbolic of knowledge changing hands.
