Building Opengl 3+ in ubuntu under virtualbox/vmware

OpenGL warnings with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running as a VirtualBox Guest under Windows7OpenGL Ubuntu 14.04Opengl for Ubuntu14 (building QT 5.4)Cannot play CS:GO on Ubuntu 15.10How to update openGL in VMware?cmake opengl error when building Voxelands3D rendering for Ubuntu on VirtualBoxPyQt4 errors and flickering after enabling Virtualbox 3D accelerationWindows 7 host -> ubuntu 16.04 local VM -> ubuntu 16.04 remote. How to run OpenGL on remote machine?OpenGL 3.2 on 18.04 VirtualBox guest: Is it possible?

For a computer graphics class we will be developing opengl 3+ applications. I have installed ubuntu under both vmware and virtualbox, and installed there respective guest additions.

If I run

   glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"

I get

OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9

Is there any way that OpenGL 3+ is supported in a virtual machine (with ubuntu as guest?)

Info: The host is Windows 8 64bit Intel i7-920, nVidia 560Ti GPU.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that because this is academic, software rendering using openGL 3+ is also ok. I find Mesa3D promising, but can't find enough information on how to install in ubuntu and force software rendering (using openGL 3+). Any information is welcome.

You could try installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers. The Nvidia 560Ti you have should support OpenGL 3.0. This page should help:
