1. A system comprising:
at least one computer medium that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
identify an intrusion into an interaction space in the real world, the interaction space designated for use as part of a virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and/or mixed reality (MR) presentation;
based on the identification of the intrusion, present a notification bubble on a display;
identify the intrusion as getting closer to a user;
based on identifying the intrusion as getting closer to the user, move the notification bubble from a first location to a second location, the second location being more centrally-located within the user's field of view than the first location;
identify user interaction with the notification bubble; and
based on identification of the user interaction, present a notification different from the notification bubble;
wherein the notification bubble is spherical and presented in a first color matching at least one background color proximate to the notification bubble.
