Scanning only selected barcodes with the Classic UI

The Select Scan feature allows the user to hover over multiple barcodes in live view, detecting and marking them with an AR overlay. However, instead of automatically scanning every barcode, users must tap the marked barcode to scan them individually. Scanned barcodes are highlighted (i.e., with an overlay in a different color) and marked as scanned. Select Scan is handy when you want to enable users to pick specific barcodes from a group of items.

For example, consider delivery drivers with multiple packages on their trucks. They need to scan and deliver only one or a select few of the loaded packages. All barcodes on the packages are detected and marked as they come into the live view, but only the manually selected ones are actually scanned.
