First question - what is your attention phrase and your goodbye phrase?
As far as advice, I've got some ...
If your girlfriend is a definite keeper (you're going to convert her from Girlfriend to Wife), then you may want to only do this stuff when she's not at home and not bring it out into the open until you've got it working very, very well.
If your girlfriend is NOT a definite keeper (you're unsure), then you should explain to her that you are an Uber Geek and, darnit, Uber Geeks need their toys, and that sometimes those toys wake us up in the middle of the night to tell us that the fridge is too cold, the garage door is open, and that the dog has somehow managed to get animal porn on the television set -- all in a very, very loud and annoying voice!
Actually, one piece of advice is this -- good VR is a tough thing. Most non-geeks won't understand how hard it is and will have no appreciation for it. It will not work 100% of the time. It will be of limited to value to most people other than yourself. Your girlfriend is highly unlikely to see any positive value in it. Face facts... VR is "neat", but if all you are using it for is to read the horoscope and tell you the time (hey, it's right there in the bottom right hand corner of your screen anyways), not exactly the greatest dollar-for-value.
Having said that, I've spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to get open air microphones to work with HS2 for a VR/intercom/monitor/phone-interface functionality set.... so who am I to talk...
