The 3D vectors X, Y and Z form the basis of a coordinate system. The handedness can be inferred from either the left or right hand (only one will work without breaking any finger).

Items

RightHanded = 0

A right-handed coordinate system.

Remarks:

The following figure shows the palm of the right hand:

The 3D vectors X, Y and Z form the basis of a coordinate system. For a right-handed coordinate system, the following holds: 
dot(cross(X, Y), Z) > 0
LeftHanded = 1

A left-handed coordinate system.

Remarks:

The following figure shows the palm of the left hand: 

        (Z)
   (Y) _.-._

       |    |
The 3D vectors X, Y and Z form the basis of a coordinate system. For a left-handed coordinate system, the following holds: 
dot(cross(X, Y), Z) < 0
