    Can developers create new gestures for Apple Vision Pro?

    Hi everybody, I'm no developer, but I was wondering: with actual API and whatever Kit Apple shares with them, is it possible to create new gestures for Apple Vision to recognize? For instance, make a fist to close an app, or swipe left or right with two fingers to undo or redo, stuff like that.
