Revolutionary Heliovision® Flame Technology Explained
The heart of every Modern Flames Orion electric fireplace is the patented Heliovision® flame technology - a groundbreaking advancement that creates virtual flames so realistic, 95% of viewers cannot distinguish them from real fire. Here's what makes Heliovision® different:
Multi-Dimensional Flame Appearance
Unlike conventional LED fireplaces that project flat 2D images, Heliovision® creates depth and movement through advanced digital projection technology. The flames appear to dance and flicker naturally, with randomized patterns that never repeat - just like real fire.
Consistent Viewing from Any Angle
Traditional electric fireplaces look best from one viewing position. Heliovision® maintains perfect flame consistency whether you're viewing from the front, sides, above, or below - making it ideal for open floor plans and multi-sided installations.
Customizable Flame Experience
With 3 flame styles, 6 colors, and adjustable speed settings, you have 18 unique flame combinations to match any mood or décor. The system even allows future updates through the app, ensuring your fireplace stays current with new flame patterns as they become available.
