Abstract : Multi-screen setups improve productivity but require expensive hardware and desk space that many users cannot afford. AR glasses offer virtual displays but cost over $3000. This paper presents AR-X Flow, a mobile AR system that creates virtual monitors using smartphones people already own. The system uses pre-trained YOLOv8 to detect laptops and monitors, positioning virtual screens contextually. Planned features include MediaPipe gesture recognition and WebRTC streaming. This work investigates whether mobile AR can democratize multi-screen workflows without specialized hardware. Our implementation demonstrates successful object detection and mobile-backend communication, though substantial development remains for rendering, gestures, and streaming.

Keywords : Augmented Reality, Virtual Monitors, Gesture Recognition, Mobile AR, Workspace Productivity, Object Detection, Accessibility.
