The invention relates to a system and method for selective scanning on a binocular augmented reality device. Augmented reality headsets have the ability to render in three dimensional graphics in theoperator's field of view so that it appears the objects are actually in the room with them. By tracking an operator's head movement and/or eyes, these headsets can determine where the operator's gazelies and can add a corresponding cursor to the operator's view. As decodable indicia such as barcodes in the operator's view through the headset are highlighted the operator selects (e.g., using an air click gesture to simulate a mouse click) which indicia the operator is interested in scanning. The indicia is decoded and the data is returned to the headsets business logic.
