1. A display apparatus comprising:

  • a display;

    a signal receiver that receives a wireless signal from a remote controller, the wireless signal indicating a user motion detected by the remote controller in a three-dimensional space defined by a plurality of sensor arrays arranged in three axis directions of the three-dimensional space, a plurality of sensors being disposed in each of the three axis directions such that a position of the user motion in the three-dimensional space corresponding to a location of sensors of the sensor arrays, the sensors detecting the user motion, the wireless signal includes on/off information of the plurality of sensors; and

    a controller that calculates a coordinate value for the user motion in the three-dimensional space using the on/off information of the plurality of sensors, and performs a control operation to control the display apparatus according to the calculated coordinate value indicating the user motion in the three-dimensional space,wherein the controller displays a three-dimensional GUI, the three-dimensional GUI comprising a plurality of menus in a plurality of planes in the three-dimensional space, each plane having a menu therein, and the controller is configured to change a display status of the three-dimensional GUI in accordance with the user motion relative to the plane having the menu to be selected.
