Abstract
Methods and apparatus to determine engagement levels of audience members are disclosed. An example method includes detecting light information in image data representative of an environment including a primary media device; determining whether a secondary media device is in the environment based on the detected light information; and calculating, via a logic circuit, an engagement level for a person with respect to the primary media device based on the secondary media device determination.
