1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a processor, a flow state of a user based on biometric data from a biometric sensor in an extended reality device;
determining, by the processor, a modality for notification delivery based on the flow state; and
delivering, by the processor, the notification using the modality,
wherein:
determining the modality for notification delivery comprises determining a distance in a virtual space for notification delivery based on the flow state,
determining the distance comprises determining a first distance in response to determining that the user is in the flow state, and
determining a second distance in response to determining that the user is not in the flow state, and
wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.
