An image display method comprising: displaying an item list including items, and a cursor indicating a position corresponding to a user input for moving the cursor; sensing the user input; and moving the cursor based on the user input; varying gaps between the items according to a position of the cursor; characterised by the varying comprising: based on the cursor being positioned on a virtual central line of a first item among the items, according to a user input corresponding to a spatial movement of a control apparatus, increasing a first gap between the first item and a second item adjacent to the first item and a second gap between the first item and a third item adjacent to the first item to a maximum gap by changing positions of the items, based on a positional relationship between the cursor and the first item according to the movement of the cursor; based on the cursor moving from the virtual central line of the first item to the third item, gradually decreasing the first gap, and gradually increasing a third gap between the third item and a fourth item adjacent to the third item until the cursor is displayed on a virtual central line of the third item, wherein the second gap between the first item and the third item is maintained at a constant width; and in response to switching from the user input corresponding to the spatial movement of the control apparatus to a user input corresponding to one of buttons arranged in the control apparatus, increasing a width of the first item on which the cursor is positioned, from a first width to a second width by a size of the first gap and a size of the second gap, wherein the third gap is a minimum gap and wherein the minimum gap is zero. displaying an item list including items, and a cursor indicating a position corresponding to a user input for moving the cursor; sensing the user input; and moving the cursor based on the user input; varying gaps between the items according to a position of the cursor; characterised by the varying comprising: based on the cursor being positioned on a virtual central line of a first item among the items, according to a user input corresponding to a spatial movement of a control apparatus, increasing a first gap between the first item and a second item adjacent to the first item and a second gap between the first item and a third item adjacent to the first item to a maximum gap by changing positions of the items, based on a positional relationship between the cursor and the first item according to the movement of the cursor; based on the cursor moving from the virtual central line of the first item to the third item, gradually decreasing the first gap, and gradually increasing a third gap between the third item and a fourth item adjacent to the third item until the cursor is displayed on a virtual central line of the third item, wherein the second gap between the first item and the third item is maintained at a constant width; and in response to switching from the user input corresponding to the spatial movement of the control apparatus to a user input corresponding to one of buttons arranged in the control apparatus, increasing a width of the first item on which the cursor is positioned, from a first width to a second width by a size of the first gap and a size of the second gap, wherein the third gap is a minimum gap and wherein the minimum gap is zero. based on the cursor being positioned on a virtual central line of a first item among the items, according to a user input corresponding to a spatial movement of a control apparatus, increasing a first gap between the first item and a second item adjacent to the first item and a second gap between the first item and a third item adjacent to the first item to a maximum gap by changing positions of the items, based on a positional relationship between the cursor and the first item according to the movement of the cursor; based on the cursor moving from the virtual central line of the first item to the third item, gradually decreasing the first gap, and gradually increasing a third gap between the third item and a fourth item adjacent to the third item until the cursor is displayed on a virtual central line of the third item, wherein the second gap between the first item and the third item is maintained at a constant width; and in response to switching from the user input corresponding to the spatial movement of the control apparatus to a user input corresponding to one of buttons arranged in the control apparatus, increasing a width of the first item on which the cursor is positioned, from a first width to a second width by a size of the first gap and a size of the second gap, wherein the third gap is a minimum gap and wherein the minimum gap is zero.
