4. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein when the auditory information is outputted and the visual information is not displayed, the controller is configured to control the output of the auditory information according to the control input detected in the first region or the second region.

5. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein when a first control input is detected in the first region or the second region after the contact between the control input and the sensor unit is released, the controller is configured to reset the control target information according to a region in which the first control input is detected.

6. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein when the control input is detected in the first region, the controller is configured to set the visual information as the control target information and configured to control at least one of a menu, a movement, a size, a position, and a playback of the visual information according to the attribute of moving of the control input.

7. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein when the control input is detected in the second region, the controller is configured to set the auditory information as the control target information and configured to control at least one of a volume, a balance, and a playback of the auditory information according to the attribute of moving of the control input.

8. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein the attribute of moving of the control input comprises at least one of a moving direction, a speed, and a path of the control input.

9. The HMD of claim 1 , further comprising a tactile feedback unit configured to generate a tactile feedback,

wherein the controller is configured to generate a first tactile feedback in the first region and configured to generate a second tactile feedback in the second region.

10. The HMD of claim 9 , wherein when the control input detected in the first region moves to the second region while maintaining the contact with the sensor unit, the controller is configured to generate the first tactile feedback in the first region and the second region, and

wherein when the control input detected in the second region moves to the first region while maintaining the contact with the sensor unit, the controller is configured to generate the second tactile feedback in the first region and the second region.

11. The HMD of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to generate the first tactile feedback in response to an attribute of the visual information.

12. The HMD of claim 11 , wherein the attribute of the visual information comprises at least one of a shape, a position, a size, and a texture of the visual information.

13. The HMD of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to generate the second tactile feedback in response to an attribute of the auditory information.

14. The HMD of claim 13 , wherein the attribute of the auditory information comprises at least one of a tempo, a volume, and a rhythm of the auditory information.

15. The HMD of claim 1 , wherein the audio output unit comprises a bone conduction speaker.

16. A method of controlling a head mounted display (HMD), the method comprising:

outputting visual information via a display unit;

outputting auditory information via an audio output unit;

detecting a control input touching a first region, a second region, or a third region of a touch sensitive region of a temple of the HMD;

setting the visual information as control target information when the control input is detected in the first region;
