China demos AI blackboard turning sketches into live 3D models, claimed in 60,000 schools

A widely shared Spanish-language X post claims China unveiled an AI-powered smart blackboard at the WAIC conference in Shanghai: a teacher sketches a cube and the AI instantly turns it into a rotating 3D model, auto-labeling angles and areas while explaining each step.
The poster says it's already deployed in 60,000 schools covering 160 million students — "not a prototype, already in classrooms." No vendor or source is given, so the numbers warrant caution, but the demo points to real-time sketch-to-3D tools entering education.
