Which scanner for which job, and where each one lives

The scan hub: the browser Room Measurement with the Scan Card, the Android Room Scanner, the iPhone LiDAR scanner (coming once it has been tested on an iPhone), the Tile Matchmaker material scanner and the Screen Analyzer. All of them feed the same room-evidence model, and each one says how its measurement was produced.
