I have been trying to figure out how to create a popover view or view controller (not sure which one to use) over my main view controller. I want the popover to act how the device notification center window acts. I don't necessarily want it to be a drag down, but when I click a button I want the window to display over the whole main view controller with a slightly transparent view similar to the notification center. The idea is, I would like to see the "blurred" content through the new window. Any ideas on what I should do to achieve this?

When you present a UIViewController (yourVC) with a modalPresentationStyle = .Popover, UIKit creates an instance of the UIPopoverPresentationController class automatically. You can set properties for this view controller as yourVC.popoverPresentationController?.

If you set yourVC.popoverPresentationController?.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor(), then you will get a transparent blur effect.

Good explanation can be found in Apple's documentation for UIPopoeverPresentationController.
