I have tested PCL triangluation introduced here:
And from the experiment I got a .vtk file. And I tried to render it via web browser whith three.js on windows. It is like below:
See! There are many holes. These holes are triangles that have opposite normal vectors.
What I need is flipping those normal vectors that are opposite than others. This way I believe I would get clean mesh image as shown below:
How can I do this? Do I work with three.js? Had I better work with pcl library? - the triangluation?
This is the html I tested:

</html>Thanks to WestLangley , I finally got a expected result as shown below:
Thank you WestLangley and Stackoverflow!!
But the question still remains. WestLangley's suggestion helps but it wouldn't be the only one solution. As you see below, some of the normal vectors are facing into the body of my hand. I believe there would be a way to make all the normal vectors face out of the body of my hand. Answers to this question still wanted...
