A computer program product for characterizing an area of interest in an event attended by an audience, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage tangible media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable tangible storage media, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, by a computer from a first plurality of cameras in the venue, audience video data of the audience;
• receiving, by the computer from a second plurality of cameras in the venue, venue video data of event activity information for one or more areas in the event venue;
• determining, by the computer, one or more areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention;
• identifying, by the computer, one or more objects in the one or more areas in the event venue by analyzing the received venue video data based on movement of the object and metadata for the objects;
• determining, by the computer, one or more objects of interest in the event based on the determined one or more areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention and the one or more identified objects in the one or more areas in the event venue;
• calculating, by the computer, a characteristic of the one or more objects of interest in the event based on
• the audience video data related to the one or more areas of interest;
• and
• displaying, by the computer, the characteristic of the one or more objects of interest in the event.

A computer system for characterizing an area of interest in an event attended by an audience, the computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable tangible storage media, which when executed cause at least one of the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, by a computer from a first plurality of cameras in the venue, audience video data of the audience;
• receiving, by the computer from a second plurality of cameras in the venue, venue video data of event activity information for one or more areas in the event venue;
• determining, by the computer, one or more areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention;
• identifying, by the computer, one or more objects in the one or more areas in the event venue by analyzing the received venue video data based on movement of the object and metadata for the objects;
• determining, by the computer, one or more objects of interest in the event based on the determined one or more areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention and the one or more identified objects in the one or more areas in the event venue;
• calculating, by the computer, a characteristic of the one or more objects of interest in the event based on
• the audience video data related to the one or more areas of interest;
• and
• displaying, by the computer, the characteristic of the one or more objects of interest in the event.
