In this video obtained by the Guardian, Raytheon's 'principal 
investigator' Brian Urch explains how the Rapid Information Overlay 
Technology (Riot) software uses photographs on social networks. These 
images sometimes contain latitude and longitude details – automatically 
embedded by smartphones within so-called 'exif header data'. Riot pulls 
out this information, analysing not only the photographs posted by 
individuals, but also the location where these images were taken.
