VR is going to help in this regard. Will VR be able to be a good replacement for a walk over the forest? I think it will. I didn't need VR to trade my outside activities for indoor, climatized comfy online ones. Although it's probably true that spending years inside a submarine isn't for everyone.

"Will VR be able to be a good replacement for a walk over the forest?"

Maybe in 200 years, when it's neurologically attached to our brains.

Until them, no :)

Replacement doesn't necessarily means it will be identical. It could be an inherently different but superior experience. Of course it would only work for people who isn't in denial. ^_^
