1. A coordinate measuring device comprising: a measuring probe configured to measure three-dimensional coordinates; a measuring arm configured to support the measuring probe, and further configured to output position information for calculating the three-dimensional coordinates; a controller connected to the measuring arm and configured to detect the three-dimensional coordinates based on the position information; and a memory configured to store a predetermined gesture, wherein the controller is further configured to: detect a trajectory of the measuring probe based on the continuously detected three-dimensional coordinates, and recognize the specific gesture corresponding to the trajectory by cross-checking the trajectory with the gesture stored in the memory.
