Do you literally spend that much time in VR that you can't put it down to take a call or send a message?

Or do you need to be in contact that much that you can't be without them for the whatever time you spend in VR?

I don't have an issue with simply "I'd like to mirror the screen to my Vive". The rest reads like a rationalization so I won't say "whoop de shit".

It's a shame that the makers of the Vive don't include something like that.

HTC built an app that supposedly mirrors some text messages or something? But it doesn't seem to work for me. When I take the time to get into VR, I tend to spend several hours playing various games and getting the most out of it. And I would prefer if I didn't have to shut out the world just to play a video game. Same reason I'm also looking into solutions to add some sort of discord connection.

Basically I'd like to be able to play video games without putting friends on the back burner.
