1. A method of presenting a magnified overlay with an eyewear device comprising a camera and a display, the method comprising:
capturing frames of video data using the camera;
registering a virtual marker associated with a marker location relative to a physical environment, wherein the virtual marker comprises a perimeter;
determining an eyewear device location relative to the marker location based on the captured frames of video data;
defining a frame relative to the display, wherein the frame is associated with a frame size and a frame position; and
presenting on the display the virtual marker at the marker location based on the eyewear device location;
presenting on the display within the frame a pointer aligned with the frame position wherein the pointer comprises a vector pointing toward the marker location,
calculating a range based on the frame position relative to at least one of the marker location or the perimeter; and
selectively presenting on the display within the frame a magnified overlay according to the range, wherein the magnified overlay comprises one or more of the captured frames of video data magnified by a magnification power.
