1. An agricultural work machine comprising:
a driver's cab with an interior space spatially at least partially delimited by a front window and at least one side window;
a driver's seat positioned within the interior space;
an input device configured to enter input by an operator of the agricultural work machine;
an eye monitoring system configured to detect information of at least one eye parameter of the operator;
a visualization system configured to output visualizing information for the operator sitting on the driver's seat, the visualization system comprising at least one display positioned inside the driver's cab and at least one window display configured for outputting the visualizing information in or on one or both of the front window or the at least one side window; and
a control device in communication with the visualization system and the input device, wherein the input device is configured to transmit one or more entries to the control device, wherein the control device is configured to:
select at least one work process of the agricultural work machine by one or both of,
automatic analysis by the control device: or
responsive to manual input via the input device by the operator; and
determine process information based on the at least one work process selected;
receive the information of the at least one eye parameter;
using the information of the at least one eye parameter, detect one or both of: a viewing direction of the operator indicative of a location of a visualization: or an object of the process information; and
control, depending on the at least one work process selected, the visualization system so that the at least a part of the process information is one or both of visualized or prioritized over other visualizing information by:
visualizing the process information depending on one or both of the viewing direction of the operator or the object of the process information.
