1. a method, comprising:

  • receiving input data from a user by a mobile unit (MU), the input data including a request for data capture functionality, the MU comprising at least one capture engine and at least one sensor module;

    obtaining external data using the at least one sensor module data capture module, the external data being indicative of at least one external condition related to the MU;

    selecting one of the at least one capture engine of the data capturing module as a function of the external data and the input data, the selected capture engine configured to obtain output data using the data capture functionality; and

    automatically executing a predetermined procedure using the MU as a function of the selected capture engine and the external data, the predetermined procedure including a plurality of steps, one of the steps being obtaining the output data; and

    the predetermined procedure is a sequence of a plurality of predetermined functionalities;

    wherein the sequence includes at least one of capturing an image of a target area having at least one barcode disposed therein, determining whether encoded data of the barcode is capable of being decoded, determining a specific location within a warehouse, projecting the specific location onto the target area, projecting instructions related to an item onto the target area, updating a view on a display device of the MU with at least one of the specific location and the instructions, and determining the selected capture engine as a function a location of the MU.
