You can use Ubuntu Touch Emulator in Ubuntu.

Installation:
```
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-emulator
```

Instance creation:

ARM instance

sudo ubuntu-emulator create UbuntuTouch

x86 instance

sudo ubuntu-emulator create --arch=i386 UbuntuTouch

Ubuntu Touch launch:
```
ubuntu-emulator run UbuntuTouch
```

Make sure you have OpenGL capable desktop drivers (see [here](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator)). Do not forget the first boot is pretty long. – hg8 Aug 07 '15 at 12:04
