I am trying to get back into VR. It’s great cardio.

I want my wife to be able to say “I’m going to bed, goodnight” without risking me smashing her face while I smash the face of a goon in GORN.

Is there an adhesive “doorbell” I can place on my doorframe that activates a vibrating wristband? Or activates an LED small enough to fit inside my headset? I cant find anything in that direction more refined than a Ring doorbell.

I could say “just yell” but its night time and our walls are thin.

My leading solution is supply a basket of plushies and tell her to throw one at my knees before bedtime, hoping that doesn’t make me trip or something.

Anyone got better solutions?

    If you have a Ring or something and the VR device you’re using is a Quest (any version), you could install the ring app onto the device and then modify the app to not mute audio when minimized.

    Maybe… I’m only assuming such a smart doorbell app sends notifications when the doorbell is rung. If it doesn’t then this wouldn’t work.

    If there are other people in the home with you, just have them tap you. Or throw something at you. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If passthrough is enabled, they just have to step into the boundary and you can see them anyway. My dogs are always running around and I end up seeing them when the “window” opens as they pass through my area.
