Description

The Little Prince is a free-roam, location-based XR adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s book, developed by Wevr in partnership with HTC VIVERSE. Wevr produced and directed the adaptation, with Alberto Vittadello as creative director; Wevr says HTC chairwoman Cher Wang initiated the project. Le Petit Prince is the property of POMASE and is licensed through Medialink.

Groups walk through 16 scenes and meet 14 characters from the book, including the Pilot, the Fox and the Rose, in settings that include asteroids in space and the Sahara under a starry sky. Wevr describes it as a living pop-up book in which each narrative beat follows the story. Visitors wear lightweight, untethered XR headsets and explore the same world at the same time. The makers describe it as designed for groups and suitable for all ages under adult supervision, and a session runs 40 to 45 minutes over 16 chapters.

The experience premiered as The Little Prince: Call to Adventure at ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO in Japan, from 12 December 2025 to 28 February 2026, operated by NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS. VIVERSE released two preview worlds on VIVERSE Worlds for the launch. From 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2027 it runs on the eighth floor of the National Taiwan Science Education Center in Taipei, presented by VIVERSE with the centre and Weird Radio, one session an hour, and VIVERSE lists runs in Beijing through 3 November 2026 and in Hangzhou through 3 January 2027.

Wevr calls the format New Cinema and positions it for stadiums, museums, hotels, malls and family entertainment centres. HTC VIVERSE has said additional locations will follow.
