Can I create custom gestures or even make a real world object the point of interest instead of fingers?
Thanks

You can try combining gestures to make custom gestures. Be sure to do usability testing with a diverse set of people if you are going to try this.
I'm not sure what you mean by having something else be the 'point of interest'.

While it is possible to create custom gestures, we highly discourage developers from doing so. Gestures are very difficult to train properly. It requires a lot of data for training and testing to get them to work across a wide variety of users. The gestures that we have now might seem limited, but they have a low failure rate. If there is a particular gesture that you feel the HoloLens would benefit from, let us know!
