Video reproducing apparatus and video reproducing method

A video reproducing apparatus comprising:

• a distance image acquiring module configured to acquire distance information about a distance between a user and a distance sensor, based on the distance sensor;
• a user instruction coordinate calculator configured to calculate a user instruction coordinate based on the distance information, wherein the user instruction coordinate represents a coordinate of the distance information which is the closest to the distance sensor;
• a user instruction image generator configured to generate a user instruction image and an additional image based on the user instruction coordinate, wherein the additional image is a shadow image of the user instruction image;
• an operation subject image generator configured to generate an operation subject image which is to be operated by the user instruction image;
• and
• a display controller configured to display the user instruction image, the additional image and the operation subject image on the same display, based on the user instruction coordinate, and
• wherein the display controller is configured to display the additional image so as to change a distance between the additional image and the user instruction image, depending on a distance between the user instruction coordinate and a virtual operation plane which is virtually provided between the distance sensor and the user,
• wherein the distance between the additional image and the user instruction image is increased as the distance between the user instruction coordinate and the virtual operation plane is increased, and
• wherein the distance between the additional image and the user instruction image is decreased as the distance between the user instruction coordinate and the virtual operation plane is decreased.
