Combining the use of an AR headset and a smartphone can provide wider display and precise touch input simultaneously; it can redefine the way we use applications today. Unfortunately, users are deprived of such benefit because of the independence of two devices. There lacks a kind of intuitive and direct interactions across them. In this paper, we conduct a formative study to understand the window management requirements and interaction preferences of using an AR headset and a smartphone simultaneously and report the insights we gained. Also, we introduce an example vocabulary of window management operations in AR headset + smartphone interface. It allows users to manipulate windows in virtual space and shift windows between devices efficiently and seamlessly.
