Answer 2

Capture mouse move event of the body tag, and you'll get the mouse position coordinates into the event object passed to the callback function:

window.onload = function() {
document.body.onmousemove = function(evt) {
var x = evt.clientX;
var y = evt.clientY;
console.log(x,y);
}
}

For finger/gesture handling, you need to look at 'touch' events, which provides similar event and properties to read the coordinates of finger(s)...
