Wow, it sounds like it will need some powerful hardware. Still it is very exciting, and I think goes along with some of my predictions/wants.

So, does that mean it will not have a red light pointing at us? And will it still work in dark and dim rooms?

It doesn't really require powerful hardware.  A dedicated hardware thread will likely provided sufficient CPU processing power for the Avatar stuff.

No.  Interms of darkness it won't be much different than the current Kinect.  The major difference is the use of Time of Flight depth sensing and filters to actively filter out anything but the frequency of light Kinect 2 is emitting.
