Once you have a couple easy ones under your belt this project will seem much more manageable. Hope that helps!

Small suggestion: For interactive editing, you cycle through several colors for each tile. I suggest that after choosing a color on a tile, the first press on another tile will change to the same color (then step forward from that point in the cycle if there are multiple presses). So you can select a given color on any tile, then replicate that color with one press per tile.

Sensors like that should work but they might need to be connected differently. The buttons I used work because they short two data pins. Sensors like that usually use analog values to tell when a hand is present so you would need 64 analog pins to make it work on this scale. If there is a touch sensor that works like a button the short two pins then you could use that the same way I built this. Check the data sheets and be ready to write the code for whatever you decide to use!

If you’re just doing the LEDs app you have to do is connect the 3 pads of each strip together. For your power supply, if you want all the lights to be able to shine at full white you’ll want enough amps to satisfy this equation: amps = #LEDs * 0.05. Just make sure you’re connecting the power at a couple different points on the strip and not just the first strip, otherwise some LEDs won’t be as bright.

This is a very cool project!!! Have you ever thought about playing with the STM32 Blue Pill boards? They have more resources than an UNO at a fraction of the cost. the UNO has 32k flash and 2k RAM. The Blue Pill is 120k flash and 20k RAM. They also have a much smaller footprint, slightly larger than a Nano. You can get the Blue Pills out of China on Ebay for about $3. It is a bit of a learning curve when switching over, but these are great boards once you get used to the differences. There is a FastLED library branch on Github for them. To use FastLED you have to use the Roger Clark definitions for the board in the Arduino IDE. The one coding improvement that stands out as a must for the project would be the way you select colors. Having several push and release standard colors is great and can be maintained. But if you were to make a push and hold function where the color cycles through a colorwheel function it would open up a range of colors you aren't getting with the push and release. Honestly I could spinout on variants of your coding. But that is just my mind racing through possibilities! Really though it is a pretty nice piece of work!
