Simple recursive implementations of ray tracing are still occasionally referred to as Whitted-style ray tracing. He received his PhD from North Carolina State University in 1978 and then joined Bell Labs. He later worked at Microsoft Research.Whitted is currently an Adjunct Research Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
