There's ox-reveal on Github.  The author announced it a while back.

        https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal/

The implementation has some limitations ATM but for simple stuff it's
OK.  E.g. I couldn't get inheritance between headlines working, the
style of description lists is forced bold plus some other annoyances.

I like reveal.js, but it lacks a good theme for more, say, 'academic'
stuff, where text tends to be aligned to the left and description
lists are typeset in a nicer manner etc.
