Abstract

An apparatus for controlling an object may include a communicator configured to communicate with a first user terminal and a second user terminal, and a processor configured to control a first object corresponding to a first user in a virtual world to be displayed, configured to control the first object to move in the virtual world in response to a movement control of the first user, configured to randomly select at least one candidate object in response to a morphing control of the first user, and configured to change the first object to a second object when the first user selects the second object from the at least one candidate object. Methods for controlling an object are also provided.
