1. A remote control apparatus using a camera-based virtual touch, comprising:

  • an image obtaining unit obtaining two-dimensional (2D) image of a user'"'"'s body through image capturing;

    a position calculator calculating coordinate data indicating positions of first coordinates (an eye) and second coordinates (a finger or pointer) of the user'"'"'s body on the 2D image of the user'"'"'s body using the 2D image received from the image obtaining unit; and

    a matching identifier determining whether the coordinate data indicating the positions of the first coordinates of the user'"'"'s body is substantially identical to the coordinate data indicating the position of the second coordinates of the user'"'"'s body, and determining that the user has a setting intention in response to determination that the coordinate data indicating the position of the first coordinates of the user'"'"'s body is substantially identical to the coordinate data indicating the position of the second coordinates of the user'"'"'s body,wherein the coordinate data produced by the position calculator is two-dimensional (2D) data and is coordinate data at a position viewed from a camera lens of the image obtaining unit.
