1. A method of scanning an optical code using an augmented reality (AR) headset, comprising:
tracking an eye gaze of a user using the AR headset to identify an eye gaze location;
setting a scan area of an optical camera of the AR headset based in part on a gaze area defined around the eye gaze location;
detecting a depth of a hand of a user in proximity to an item, using the AR headset;
setting a focus depth of the optical camera based in part on the depth of the hand from the AR headset;
detecting a finger of the hand in a pointing pose; and
scanning an optical code from the item in proximity to a distal end of the finger using the optical camera at the focus depth.
