Who did you talk to at Wheelmap?

Because that answer is not quite correct, back in 2016 and for a couple 
of years Wheelmap had a version of their Android app that ran on googles 
Tango (Augmented Reality) platform, and with that they were measuring 
entrance widths (both for toilets and entrances in general) and ramp 
inclines (something you don't include in your tag list BTW).

While they never ported that to ARCore, there might still be interest in 
starting collecting more detail again, given that it now seems to work 
passably on a wider range of phones. With other words I would suggest 
that you discuss at least their experience with collecting more details 
with them and coordinate.
