Abstract
Technology is described for scanning an optical code using an augmented reality (AR) headset. The method can include tracking an eye gaze of a user using the AR headset to identify an eye gaze location. A scan area of an optical camera of the AR headset may be set based in part on a gaze area defined around the eye gaze location. Another operation may be detecting a depth of a hand of a user in proximity to an item, using the AR headset. A focus depth of the optical camera may be set based in part on the depth of the hand from the AR headset. An optical code may be scanned from the product item using the optical camera at the focus depth.
