Cisco has the Webex Board (formerly SparkBoard). It has an array of 12 microphones on top and does audio processing to pick out who's talking, cancel the noise, and since it has an idea of where the participant is, the video part zooms into the speaker during a call.

Purchasing the low-end version of the WebEx Board and paying for just one year of the subscription would cost as much as 21 HomePods, if my back-of-the envelope math works out. Not exactly a HomePod competitor...
