There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Can we create our own Gestures?
Will it be possible to create our own Gestures? Instead of Air tap, and bloom, is there an ability to extend these gestures into custom ones, both within a custom app, and more globally, for the community to use?

At this time, only the built in gestures are available. If there are additional things you would like to enable, we would love to hear details about what capabilities you would like to see enabled.

Great question, @Dwight_Goins_EE_MVP . Something like the Kinect's Visual Gesture Builder for HoloLens would be amazing.

Thank you.
Well I'm thinking about the air-tap gesture - it's very... let's say as @vbandi puts it "Point and Click-ish" like a mouse click. For a new interface and input, we need a brand new paradigm. Air-tap seems slow, sluggish,"miniscule" (like the gesture...) itself.
This won't work for a large selection of holograms in an app per se, nor would it be fast and feasible to "pinch" two fingers together, I guess this is the purpose of the clicker. I still think it's time to re-think the point and click gesture.

Something like this ...?
I have a few:
two hands palms flat on one another (maybe even opening the palms like a book could mean something)
Thumbs up/down
Okay (thumb touch pointer other fingers flared out)
Fist with palms facing camera (make it easier to detect and also make it like a grasping)
Spock fingers would be funny and probably useful
(im sure sign language users would have more non motion based gestures)
