This suggestion is only valid if Unity is being used. Not sure about getting the coordinates from the HMD, but you can attach a script that detects the position of the GameObject.

this.transform.localPosition.x
this.transform.localPosition.y
this.transform.localPosition.z

These are read only values.

Hope this helps.

The SteamVR SDK doesn't seem to expose the raw values of the IMU (inertial measurement unit) to developers. Possible workarounds:

Using the velocity of the HMD via the SteamVR SKD GetDeviceToAbsoluteTrackingPose
Calculate the velocity of the HMD manually or by adding a RigidBody component to the main camera (Camera (eye))
