To animate the opacity of a RealityKit entity, you can use the content effects in RealityKit. Content effects allow you to change a view's appearance, including its opacity. Here's a brief overview of how you can achieve this:

  1. Content Effects: These are fundamental effects that change how a view looks, such as its opacity. They transition between two states: inactive and active. When a view isn't being looked at, the effect applies its inactive state. When someone looks at the view, the effect transitions to its active state and updates the view.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Create custom hover effects in visionOS.
