Claim:
1. A remote control apparatus for performing virtual touch by using information displayed by a projector, comprising: a 3D coordinates calculation unit for extracting 3D coordinates data of user's body parts and one or more electronic devices; an electronic device detection unit for displaying information with a projector at locations by determining spatial location information and product information of electronic devices using the 3D coordinates data of the electronic devices calculated from the 3D coordinates calculation unit, and producing a virtual touch point region for virtual touch based on direction information corresponding to a straight line calculated based on the extracted 3D coordinates data between the user and the display projected by a projector; a user detection unit for calculating virtual touch points and detecting change of the touch points on the display projected by a projector for control electronic devices using the 3D coordinates data of user's body parts calculated from the 3D coordinates calculation unit, and generating command codes based on the change of the calculated virtual touch points for performing preliminarily set controls of the electronic devices; an electronic device operation controller for converting the produced command codes into control command signals, and transmitting the control command signals to the corresponding electronic devices in response to detection of an input of the command codes from the user detection unit; and an electronic device information database (DB) for storing device specific information comprising at least one of manufacturers, names, and electronic devices data communication protocols for control of the electronic devices installed at home.
