Consider This Openly Licensed Image
I decided to search for an image using the same search term across a few different search sites. I used the words ‘virtual reality goggles’ and found the following websites that were easy to determine the license and copyright information:
virtual reality goggles | Openverse
Search media – Wikimedia Commons
20+ Free Virtual Reality Goggles & Virtual Reality Images – Pixabay
Pixabay typically had fewer free images that were also free to use and share while Bing had a lot of images using the filter “free to use, modify and share commercially” I found that when I went to the website for the image it often actually had copyright limitations.
I finally selected an image title woman wearing white virtual reality goggles on Flickr however the credit notes indicated Must Credit to: ‘https://homegets.com/’ not Flickr. The creator is David Stewart and the source is Flickr:

The image nicely depicts a person wearing the goggles which I plan to use in a presentation introducing the use of virtual reality in education. It will help those who are new to VR understand what the goggles look like and how they are worn. I had difficulty finding images of post-secondary students in a classroom wearing the goggles, or a diverse population (of post-secondary students) wearing the goggles.
