I've looked at the picture that shows the axes, but I don't know what to make of the x-axis.
The x-axis is the distance from the center of the with the right being +1 and the left being -1. the y value is the same with the with the top of the image +1 and the bottom -1. the z axis is a little bit more tricky, it is the value you are from the sensor, so i took the value of the spine and subtracted it from the hand (if your using it), the value differential from you spine with your arm straight forward is about 0.5
