contents We give an explicit geometric structures interpretation of the $G_2'$-Hitchin component $Hit(S, G_2') \subset χ(π_1S,G_2')$ of a closed oriented surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$. In particular, we prove $Hit(S, G_2')$ is naturally homeomorphic to a moduli space $\mathscr{M}$ of $(G,X)$-structures for $G = G_2'$ and $X = Ein^{2,3}$ on a fiber bundle $\mathscr{C}$ over $S$ via the descended holonomy map. Explicitly, $\mathscr{C}$ is the direct sum of fiber bundles $\mathscr{C} = UTS \oplus UTS \oplus \underline{\mathbb{R}_+}$ with fiber $\mathscr{C}_p = UT_p S \times UT_p S \times \mathbb{R}_+$, where $UT S$ denotes the unit tangent bundle. The geometric structure associated to a $G_2'$-Hitchin representation $ρ$ is explicitly constructed from the unique associated $ρ$-equivariant alternating almost-complex curve $\hatν: \tilde{S} \rightarrow \hat{\mathbb{S}}^{2,4}$; we critically use recent work of Collier-Toulisse on the moduli space of such curves. Our explicit geometric structures are examined in the $G_2'$-Fuchsian case and shown to be unrelated to the $(G_2', Ein^{2,3})$-structures of Guichard-Wienhard.
