1. A method, comprising:

presenting a digital human on a display panel of a digital human display assembly, wherein the digital human is computer-generated and is configured to engage in an interactive dialog with a user;

selecting, with a communicative light system (CLS), a selected lighting sequence from a plurality of lighting sequences based on a status of the digital human in responding to a query from the user during the interactive dialog, wherein each lighting sequence of the plurality of lighting sequences is configured to communicate to the user a different status of the digital human as displayed on the display panel and indicating readiness of the digital human to receive a request from the user; and

generating, under control of the CLS, the selected lighting sequence using a light emitting diode (LED) array on the digital human display assembly concurrently with displaying the digital human on the display panel, wherein the LED array is separate from the display panel.
