The basic requirement for such an environment is a network connection over which the state of shared objects is synchronized (e.g. you move an object in one client and it moves in all clients!). Luckily, Unity has recently revamped their networking support (since version 5) by providing super powerful high-level networking components.

For example, you may be asked by someone to create a virtual environment that provides a great level of presence for the user.
