1. An eyewear device comprising:
at least one sensor;
a processor;
a memory; and
programming in the memory, wherein execution of the programming by the processor configures the eyewear device to perform functions for guiding a user through an environment, including functions to:
determine, using the at least one sensor, a current location and orientation of the eyewear device within the environment;
identify a virtual marker location within a predefined threshold of the current location, the virtual marker location defined with respect to the environment;
generate, responsive to the current location and orientation of the eyewear device, an overlay image including a guidance virtual marker for display at the virtual marker location; and
provide the overlay image for display to the user.
