Abstract

Disclosed are a display device and a control method thereof. The display device includes a display, a camera capturing a gesture in a three dimensional space; and a controller selectively displaying a virtual keyboard corresponding to a hand gesture for character input on the display when the captured gesture includes the hand gesture for the character input. Accordingly, the virtual keyboard corresponding to the hand gesture for the character input is displayed, so that the user may not perform an additional operation to display the virtual keyboard.
