1. A method, comprising:
- capturing, with a sensor, image data depicting an environment in which a first media device is to present media;
analyzing, by executing an instruction with a processor, the image data to determine whether the environment includes a second media device emanating a glow; and
when the environment includes the second media device emanating the glow, calculating, by executing an instruction with the processor, an engagement for a person in the environment with respect to the first media device, the engagement being calculated based on a distance between the person and the second media device emanating the glow.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to determine engagement levels of audience members are disclosed. An example method includes capturing, with a sensor, image data depicting an environment in which a first media device is to present media. Analyzing the image data to determine whether the environment includes a second media device emanating a glow. When the environment includes the second media device emanating the glow, calculating an engagement for a person in the environment with respect to the first media device, the engagement being calculated based on a characteristic of the second media device emanating the glow.
