Designing the Right Way becomes the lead FiOS proof point: interaction decisions were made from device capability, customer expectations, future-proofing, business goals, and 10-foot context.

What It Proves
Provides a strong media-interface counterweight to enterprise dashboard work.
Problem
TV interfaces need dense information to stay legible at a distance while still supporting fast channel, guide, and discovery workflows across constrained devices.
Approach
01
Use the archived Designing the Right Way video as the lead source for the FiOS story.
02
Show guide grids as product systems rather than isolated screens.
03
Connect visual density decisions to accessibility, search, metadata, and remote-control ergonomics.
04
Use cinematic motion and live-feeling data overlays as a tribute to FiOS TV work.
Public resources
Verizon FiOS News
These are public company or product resources, not works of Kirk's. They stay here as quick context while Kirk-specific claims remain tied to approved portfolio proof.
Archived Video Proof
archived proofDesigning the Right Way
The original portfolio video frames design decisions around customer expectations, device capability, future-proofing, business objectives, and interaction constraints rather than aesthetics alone.
Boundary
Use as archived Kirk proof; final title, description, and exact FiOS relationship should be reviewed before public launch.

Current product context
official currentFios TV Interactive Media Guide
Verizon support describes Fios TV features using the remote to access the main menu, On Demand titles, customer support, search, DVR, parental controls, captions, widgets, and other guide functions.
Boundary
Use this as current Fios TV product context; Kirk-specific proof remains the archived FiOS guide work and any approved additional stills.

Remote-control context
official currentVoice remote navigation and playback
Current Verizon support documents voice search, direct Guide access, navigation ring and OK selection, Info details, DVR/VOD playback controls, channel/page movement, and recording.
Boundary
Use as interaction vocabulary for the case; do not claim current Fios TV One work unless Kirk approves that scope.

Accessibility context
official currentCaptions, talking guide, and descriptive video
Voice command examples include turning on talking guide, subtitles/closed captioning, Spanish audio, and descriptive video for supported programs.
Boundary
Use this to reinforce 10-foot accessibility thinking; keep implementation details tied to approved Kirk artifacts.
