{
  "subject": "mathematics",
  "level": "high-school",
  "personality": "encouraging",
  "language": "en-US"
}
```

### XR Session API

```http
POST /api/v2/xr-sessions
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "devices": ["vr", "ar", "desktop"],
  "features": ["handTracking", "eyeTracking", "spatialAnchors"],
  "quality": "high"
}
```
