How to use Windows 10 features in WPF app

Question

Is there a way to use features from Windows 10 in standard WPF app, built in Windows 8.1? I'm building app that will use built in webcam, that feature is required only when using Windows 10 tablet, desktop PCs won't use it. I've found "MediaCapture API" for Windows 10 and it would work perfectly, but I have no idea how to use it without creating new project dedicated for UWP.
