Something I've neglected to mention is the fact that I did succeed in getting a multi-user environment set up inside Unity. There are a number of solutions available, insofar as the server is concerned, and I decided to go with SmartFox. The only real reason being that it was quick to set up and I don't have a lot of time to create one from scratch. You can read more about the SmartFox server software here. It might seem overkill, considering it was actually designed to support MMOs and not meant for smaller scale projects, but it does the job.

The video below shows the app in action, I'll upload a browser based version of the multi-user environment at a later date. I'm not sure how the University feels about people seeing this stuff at such an early stage of development. The character models are from turbosquid and have been modified.

More soon. ;]
