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?
A lead pipe would do it.
She would like this idea too much…
You can get paired vibrating bracelets, press the button on one and the other vibrates, I think they are supposed to be for long distance couples as a ‘thinking of you’ type thing but they would probably work here.
A step up from this would be vibrating anal beads. You guys could practice morse code and have actual conversations with other, or practice cheating at chess or something
This idea right here has SO much potential.
Thank you!
Depending on the headset you’re using, she could just message you either through Steam or the Meta app.
There is a “Knock knock” feature you can use.

I’d have to get her to download the steam app, then access it, and use it.
Same for a possible discord solution.
She games in no way shape or form, hence the “doorbell glued to my doorframe” idea.
If your computer isn’t within your punching range, SteamVR has a built-in feature for this, called “Knock Knock”. Right click the headset in the SteamVR desktop UI to get to it. It puts a button on your desktop that lets someone click it to alert you in the headset.
Swing a foam (basically pool noodle) bat at them.
Fuckin \s, in case it’s not clear
stab them
If you have a couple of Alexa devices you can use the “announce” feature. In the bedroom she’ll say “Alexa announce I’m going to bed”, and then the Alexa in your room will say “announcement: I’m going to bed”.
If you have a couple of Alexa devices
…then you have a couple too many. Why do you want Jeff Bezos listening to your fuck?
If The Machine wants to know when i mention laundry detergent in exchange for giving me a lot of functionality then I’m fine with that deal
