Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a control method therefor, the mobile terminal comprising: at least one camera; a display unit placed toward the eyes of a user searing the mobile terminal and for displaying an image, the image comprising one of a VR (virtual reality) image and a 3D image; and a control unit for performing an action related to the image according to a gesture input sensed by the camera, wherein, when a first gesture input proceeding along a first plane opposite to the image is sensed or a second gesture input proceeding along a second plane orthogonal to the first plane is sensed by the camera, the control unit performs an action corresponding to the sensed first or second gesture input, thereby providing the user with an effect of providing more various VR related functions through the first gesture input made on a first plane space opposite to the image visible to the eyes of the user and the second gesture input made on a second plane space orthogonal to the first plane.
