Hi! I work for the FIU Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab, and we have been using RoboDK for a little over a year now.
We are actually working on something very similar on a research grant, where we have a VR environment in Unity and are using RoboDK to simulate our Kuka robots and send motion commands using the Kuka online drivers.
Take a look at this:

Depending on the brand of robot you use, it may be more or less difficult to implement such a functionality. My experience is exclusively with Kuka robots, which support KukaVarProxy, OpenShowVar, and JOpenShowVar for sending motion commands and IO instructions in real time such as demonstrated here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aZZAK4oyGg
RoboDK will definitely make what you'd like to do easier, but a lot of the implementation will be roll your own. I highly recommend consulting with a system integrator.
Hope this helps,
Samuel
