Abstract
Techniques are described for extending virtual desktops across different devices. The virtual desktop client sets up a web server on a primary device. A QR code encoded with information identifying the web server is displayed on the primary device and is scanned by a secondary device. A web browser is launched on the secondary device and the web browser connects to the web server on the primary device. The virtual desktop is reconfigured to produce its GUI on two monitors, one for the primary device and one for the secondary device. The GUI data for the second monitor is streamed by the virtual desktop client to the secondary device over the HTTPS connection, to be displayed on the secondary device. GUI data for the first monitor is displayed on the primary device. Inputs are streamed from the secondary device to the primary device and are forwarded to the virtual desktop.
