Okay, am I understanding this correctly? In Y-up right-hand, positive X is "to the left"?

I personally think that right-hand Z-up makes the most sense, but it makes sense to move to where most of the industry is going.

Z is depth. Why should it ever be up? Honest question.

For cameras, the convention is Z depth but right handed:

  • X rightward / pixel column from the left
  • Y downward / pixel row from the top
