1. A wearable device comprising:
a display configured to display a three-dimensional augmented reality image overlapping a real world view, wherein the three-dimensional augmented reality image includes a cursor, images of items in which the items are respectively related to functions, a right image and a left image, and the right image and the left image are shifted in opposite directions by adjusting an angle of convergence;
a first detector configured to detect a first eye motion and a second eye motion of a user wearing the wearable device, wherein the first eye motion includes a closure of eye and the second eye motion includes a wink or continuous blinks;
a second detector including electrodes and configured to detect a touch of a hand or a finger of the user to one of the electrodes; and
a processor configured to (i) select one of the functions when the first detector detects the first eye motion and (ii) perform the selected one of the functions when the first detector detects the second eye motion,
wherein the display is configured to display the cursor of the three-dimensional augmented reality image that is moveable to one of the images based on the touch to the one of the electrodes detected by the second detector, and
wherein the processor is configured to select the one of the functions related to the one of the images based on the cursor when the first detector detects the first eye motion, the cursor being displayed on the one of the images.
