I think it's a very nice concept, but sometimes when you present, you have to use other people's computers, and I am wondering if it's possible to generate a PDF from this and use it for presentations?

My second thought is that something like this could be made as a LaTeX package, similar to Beamer. For scientists, there are many benefits to using LaTeX for presentations.

If I'm understanding it correctly, I think it renders your presentation to an html file that you can just open in a browser. I assume the effects and transitions are all powered by embedded JS. So it should be portable.
Yes, that is exactly right!

This is one important thing for me: the produced file must be self contained. Even if images are included, they are embedded in the html file.
