# look(at:from:upVector:relativeTo:)

Positions and orients the entity to look at a target from a given position.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency func look(at target: SIMD3<Float>, from position: SIMD3<Float>, upVector: SIMD3<Float> = SIMD3<Float>(0, 1, 0), relativeTo referenceEntity: Entity?)
```

## Parameters

- `target`: The target position to look at.
- `position`: The new position of the entity.
- `upVector`: The up direction of the entity after moving.
- `referenceEntity`: The entity that defines a frame of reference. Set this to nil to indicate world space.

## Discussion

Discussion You can use this method on any entity, but it’s particularly useful for orienting cameras and lights to aim at a particular point in space.
