  We present a simple framework to compute hyperbolic Voronoi diagrams of finite
 point sets as affine diagrams. We prove that bisectors in Klein's non-conformal
 disk model are hyperplanes that can be interpreted as power bisectors of Euclidean
 balls. Therefore our method simply consists in computing an equivalent clipped power
 diagram followed by a mapping transformation depending on the selected representation
 of the hyperbolic space (e.g., Poincar\'e conformal disk or upper-plane representations).
 We discuss on extensions of this approach to weighted and $k$-order diagrams, and
 describe their dual triangulations. Finally, we consider two useful primitives on
 the hyperbolic Voronoi diagrams for designing tailored user interfaces of an image
 catalog browsing application in the hyperbolic disk: (1) finding nearest neighbors,
 and (2) computing smallest enclosing balls.
