1. A method for controlling a digital data reproducing apparatus, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the digital data reproducing apparatus, emotional information associated with at least one of a user and a content;
displaying an object indicating whether to reproduce a content according to the emotional information;
entering into an emotional information application mode based on a user'"'"'s selection;
modifying at least one of audio and video characteristics of the content for reproduction based on at least the emotional information, wherein the modifying step includes modifying a depth of a 3D content according to the emotional information; and
reproducing the content based on the modified at least one of audio and video characteristics of the content; and
exchanging the emotional information with other users watching the same content over a network;
wherein obtaining emotional information further includes;
capturing an image of at least a part of a user'"'"'s body;
recording the user'"'"'s voice;
sensing, via a body signal sensing unit in a remote control unit, physical attributes of the users to generate physical information of the user; and
determining the emotional information of the user based on at least two of the captured image, the recorded voice, or the sensed body signal.
