Do any of you fine gentlepeople know of a good way to alert a person in VR that you want their attention? (kbin.social)

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?

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.

That doesn’t sound like such a bad idea, I see it now, “head on! Apply directly to the forehead!”
