1. An apparatus for controlling a head up display of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a navigation device configured to calculate a residual distance from a position of the vehicle to a driving direction change point;
a display configured to display vehicle information as an augmented reality image; and
a controller configured to compare the residual distance with a preset distance, to determine whether to correct the residual distance depending on a result of the comparison, to correct the residual distance based on an output height of the augmented reality image when correcting the residual distance, and to set a position spaced apart by the corrected residual distance from the position of the vehicle as a projected position of the augmented reality image,
wherein the output height of the augmented reality image is preset by a driver.
