A virtual object manipulating apparatus enabling a user to manipulate a virtual object in a virtual reality, which is simulated using a computer, wherein the virtual object manipulating apparatus is an input apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a corresponding point searching unit to search for a plurality of corresponding points by comparing a shape of a virtual object selected by a user with a shape of the virtual object manipulating apparatus; a grab type recognizing unit comprising a touch sensor, a pressure sensor, and a rotation sensor, to sense a grab signal from the user and to recognize a grab type of the virtual object manipulating apparatus; and a virtual grab type determining unit to determine a virtual grab type of the selected virtual object based on the plurality of corresponding points and the grab type of the virtual object manipulating apparatus, to express the grab type with respect to the virtual object, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT the corresponding point searching unit respectively detects a plurality of first vertexes being on a surface of the shape of the selected virtual object and a plurality of second vertexes being on a surface of the virtual object manipulating apparatus, and compares the plurality of first vertexes and the plurality of second vertexes to search for the plurality of corresponding points, a database storing a shape of at least one reference object, wherein the corresponding point searching unit searches the plurality of corresponding points by further comparing the shape of the selected virtual object with a shape of a reference object corresponding to the shape of the selected virtual object, and, when the shape of the corresponding reference object is stored in the database, the selected virtual object, the reference object, and the virtual object manipulation apparatus are mutually connected, wherein the database further stores at least one reference grab type with respect to the reference object, and the virtual grab type determining unit determines a reference grab type corresponding to the grab type of the virtual object manipulating apparatus as the virtual grab type of the selected virtual object, when the corresponding reference grab type is stored in the database. a corresponding point searching unit to search for a plurality of corresponding points by comparing a shape of a virtual object selected by a user with a shape of the virtual object manipulating apparatus; a grab type recognizing unit comprising a touch sensor, a pressure sensor, and a rotation sensor, to sense a grab signal from the user and to recognize a grab type of the virtual object manipulating apparatus; and a virtual grab type determining unit to determine a virtual grab type of the selected virtual object based on the plurality of corresponding points and the grab type of the virtual object manipulating apparatus, to express the grab type with respect to the virtual object, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT the corresponding point searching unit respectively detects a plurality of first vertexes being on a surface of the shape of the selected virtual object and a plurality of second vertexes being on a surface of the virtual object manipulating apparatus, and compares the plurality of first vertexes and the plurality of second vertexes to search for the plurality of corresponding points, a database storing a shape of at least one reference object, wherein the corresponding point searching unit searches the plurality of corresponding points by further comparing the shape of the selected virtual object with a shape of a reference object corresponding to the shape of the selected virtual object, and, when the shape of the corresponding reference object is stored in the database, the selected virtual object, the reference object, and the virtual object manipulation apparatus are mutually connected, wherein the database further stores at least one reference grab type with respect to the reference object, and the virtual grab type determining unit determines a reference grab type corresponding to the grab type of the virtual object manipulating apparatus as the virtual grab type of the selected virtual object, when the corresponding reference grab type is stored in the database.
