This study compares single- and dual-display configurations for virtually embodied conversational systems. We analyze task performance, workload, and social presence while controlling for display placement and content distribution. Dual displays can improve information availability but may raise cognitive load; we discuss layout strategies that balance awareness, legibility, and user comfort.
