An extended reality (XR) device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The XR device is applicable to 5G communication technology, robot technology, autonomous driving technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The XR device includes a transparent display, a sensing unit configured to sense a relative position and gaze direction of a user with respect to the transparent display, and a processor configured to recognize at least one real-world external object that is located in a forward direction of the transparent display and is visible to the user through the transparent display, based on the relative position and gaze direction of the user sensed by the sensing unit.
