I'm sure that would be frustrating to have a beautiful sight tricking your visual system but not smelling, feeling the wind, be able to touch etc

That would miss out on a few of the proposed mechanisms:

>“People living near greenspace likely have more opportunities for physical activity and socialising. Meanwhile, exposure to a diverse variety of bacteria present in natural areas may also have benefits for the immune system and reduce inflammation.
