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 program on the PC that plays a sound via the headset keyed off of some trigger?

    For example a custom audio “new message” tone in a mail client that plays for certain senders…. Or a program designed to be controlled via smart phone app and has the option of playing audio as an action.

      This one has me thinking.

      The bridge might exist not between the button and my headset, but the button and my Windows Audio Mixer (or the upgraded replacement…).

      Good lead.

        It still seems best to use the doorbell, even if it’s connected to your headset. She doesn’t need to open her phone just to get your attention
