# PostProcessEffect

A protocol that defines hooks for custom post processing effects.

```
protocol PostProcessEffect : Sendable
```

## Overview

RealityKit calls each method in this protocol at a predefined time.
For example, RealityKit calls the
[`postProcess(context:)`](/documentation/RealityKit/PostProcessEffect/postProcess(context:)) method
every frame, after RealityKit renders the scene, but before displaying it in your app.

Adopt this protocol in a custom object and apply it to your [`RealityViewCameraContent`](/documentation/RealityKit/RealityViewCameraContent)
to apply fine-grained control over the render loop.
