1. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space comprising a 3D object;
receiving a correspondence command to make a two-dimensional (2D) icon for executing an application and the 3D object correspond to each other;
assigning an attribute of the 2D icon to the 3D object;
indicating the attribute of the 2D icon is assigned by modifying the 3D object; and
determining when the 3D object designation is made and executing the application corresponding to the determination in the 3D virtual space.
